Potty trained? Not yet, butt

I was using the toilet ( a.k.a. sitting on the thunder mug ) and in walks Adam since hess perfectly innocent. He grabs the toilet paper roll and begins to pull down. This is where you probably anticipate the story incorrectly, as did I. He places his other hand on the roll to stop it from spinning and tears off a square! What 2 year old does that?!?!?I tell him how great that is and he does it 3 more times; one square at a time.

Then of coarse he flushes the toilet half a dozen times and I have to scold him because he didn’t listen the 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th times I told him to stop.

Meantime he’ll deny he’s pooping when asked and he’s yet to have a poo-poo-in-the-toilet party. Ugh.

My happiest moment today:

Was when my son reminded me to tuck him in. It’s kinda warm so I was thinking I could skip it but I was handed a blanket and gestured to tuck him in. Gosh I love that kid.

My happiest moment today:

A new game – I was holding Adam and pucker up to give him a kiss and pretend to drop him. Fun and giggles for a long time!

Lasted over 2 hours. Adam and I had a relaxed dinner ( we dined ) and we played for an hour and he took a leisurely bath. He was a little sweetheart and gave me kisses and wanted to sit against me.

When we played it was mostly mellow and for part of it, he was playing songs on my iPhone. Rather than rush him I let him touch all the things he wanted (repeatedly) without grabbing it out of his hands.

The picture I’d of him last night drinking sparking water…the sensation on his tongue was freaking him out.

My happiest moment today:

Adam learned and applied a new word – “Go”.He was very vocal before bed and I was going to read his story do I hit the pause button in the TV. Oh course he fussed and I told him that to make it go again he needed to say ‘go’. Very quietly he said it. So I hit play and he clapped. Then pause again and a little louder “go”. I cheered and we repeated this over a dozen times. He was correctly using the word and I was so happy. Let the parroting and learning begin.

My happiest moment today:

Getting an unexpected and welcomed call from someone who I admire and hadn’t talked to in years. Facebook is good but the texture of the interaction is do much better.I know y’all love the pics of AAA but this was the highlight of the day for me.

Ice cream with Adam. He was AAA-dorable as he savored it. When he finished he signed for more.

He’s had it at the zoo beforehand that was the first time with me. In a weak moment I bought some and it’s in the house. I was thinking root beer floats but it never happened.
