Time sure flies by, especially in an already short month. Matthew turned 3 at the begining of the month, and I still can't believe how big he is getting. We started potty training Matthew this month, and all has gone well so far. At first Matthew wanted nothing to do with the potty, even bribbing him with "cool" undies to wear. So one morning after he woke up dry, I told him no more diapers. Matthew did not like this idea and after refusing to sit on the potty I let him run around in underwear knowing full well what the next result would be. Two hours later it happened, he peed all over himself and the floor, so I asked Matthew "Did like getting peed on?" I got a sheepish "No." reply, "Can we try to pee in the potty next time?" "Yes." "Ah I've got him now", I think to myself, two hours latter I ask Matthew "Wanna go potty?" "NO!" is his reply. "Well we're going anyway." (insert toddler tanturm here) I put Matthew on the potty kicking and screaming, then he suddenly stops, then says "I peed!" "Really?!" YEAH!! He did it and has been doing great since. Now lets get Tyler potty trained, what? what do you mean he's only 8 months old?! Ok ok...I guess I can wait a bit. Speaking of Tyler, he has moved up to pro crawler and pulling up stage and loves to get into things. Especially likes getting into Matthew's cars and Amanda's Barbies. No place is safe, well at least anthing within two feet above the floor. Amanda is still loving school, and I'm blown away by how much she can read now! I need to find some things for her to do this summer to keep her occupied and keep those boredum bugs away!
