First Real Bathroom Experience!


After his bath this evening (about 20 minutes ago), Avery said he wanted to "use the bathroom." There is no "potty talk" for this kid! He requested the toilet.

He sat on the toilet and actually pee'd (sp?) in the pot! Walker remarked that my overzealous squeals were a little scary, as appears to be corroborated by this weird evil look I have here. Not sure what was going on there, but I hope this doesn't scare Avery away from future attempts forever.

But look at Avery! Yay! He was really proud.


Our BIG Boy:


He also said to me tonight, "First, we take a bath. Then, we read stories. And then I cry. I cry and say MOMMMY MOMMY MOMMY." Awwwwwww. He's been having a little trouble getting to sleep in his crib for the past few nights in a row. I asked him why he cried in his crib. He wasn't able to tell me. We decided that he could sleep with anything he wanted that might make him happy. He first chose bath toys---fine with me. Then he decided he wanted to sleep with the plug that plugs up the drain. Um, yuck. This brought us to a discussion about the ideal items to sleep with---those that are soft and clean. He's now reading final stories and choosing something soft.

Go, Avery!

On the technological front: there's a thing called Blurb that turns your blog into a book. I've been meaning to do it, but haven't quite gotten around to it yet. I think there may be other similar services, too, but I haven't looked.

Galloping and Pumpkin Rides

Image
Updates: 1. Avery has learned how to gallop. He calls it skipping, and he has been doing it all around the living room, street, park, store... since yesterday afternoon. Everywhere. 2. Avery asked Walker, "What alphabet does your name begin with?" 3. I asked Avery what we are going to do tomorrow, and he said, "We are going to get some hay and ride on a pumpkin!" He's very excited, although he seems to have it switched around a bit.

A New Food Every Three Days...

Image
If you were to try a new food every three days for about a year, don't you think you'd get to the point where you had to be really creative to find something new? With combinations of ingredients, knowing that you have tried one dish, you would think that you'd exhaust the possibilities. Well, we've been new foods like this for some time now, and every time I go to the grocery or Farmer's Market, I come back with something new for Avery. Ritz crackers were introduced today! Chive cream cheese was on the menu a few days ago. This evening, we combined the two for Ritz cracker and chive cream cheese fiesta. Avery hogged down seven crackers piled high with cream cheese, had a huge piece of extra sharp cheddar, and some berry applesauce. This was all washed down with a huge bottle of organic whole milk, which friend Jeanna says, "tastes like fresh cut grass and ice cream." I am going to try to make a list of Avery's favorite foods : Veggies -sw...
