I figured I could start taking him to the potty when he says "pee pee" and let him start associating the two, right? Yeah, not so much. He really, really doesn't like to sit on the potty with no diaper on. He'd much rather stomp his feet, run away naked and pee in the living room floor.Karynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13481484074210475160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-69103799867510086362008-11-18T22:35:00.000-05:002008-11-18T22:35:00.000-05:00I'm jealous of your "first do this and then we can do that" understanding. Raiden just looks at us like we're crazy and hears the "then we can do that" part of the statement and gets mad when we try to push the first part on him. Oy.<BR/><BR/>He's repeating a lot more words recently, too, though not many of them are very clear still. ("boosh" is fish, "booch" is peach, "doos" is shoe and juice, "peeta pwee" is Christmas tree, "doh doh" is hot dog, and turtle, and circle, lol.) Though he is following multistep directions - "put the scoop away, and close the cabinet." Sometimes. He really likes to open the cabinet ;).Karynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13481484074210475160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-80632298591307783862008-11-18T18:47:00.000-05:002008-11-18T18:47:00.000-05:00That's so cute about Jacob learning more words and just learning! hehe Daniel loves socks!! <BR/><BR/>Landon takes his diaper off and brings it to Haley haha She has started taking him to the potty and he's been using it. I'll be needing some guidance in that area too!Daniel's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00341670192802383198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-18119696185070331602008-11-18T15:20:00.000-05:002008-11-18T15:20:00.000-05:00I laughed out loud at the "Japanese bow on steriods" part. Oh, the visual was great. ;)<BR/><BR/>Sounds like your little man is really growing up. It must be fun (and draining, too, I'm sure) to wake up every day wondering what new thing he'll learn. :)Stefaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13540098219211451910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-30012571448572615012008-11-17T23:37:00.000-05:002008-11-17T23:37:00.000-05:00You sound like a very observant mama and you are providing a wonderful, language rich environment for your little guy. I am a speech-language pathologist by trade so I totally understand the excitement about developing language skills!

Maybe that's a sign that things will go fairly smoothly, then?Laurenhttp://fizleglitz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-19926057504536287692008-11-17T18:37:00.000-05:002008-11-17T18:37:00.000-05:00Yes, I did. Isn't it awful? The "official mom" comment was particularly irritating. Puh-leaze. Not to mention the whole "what about me?" and general whiny tone. A proper carrier shouldn't cause a need for pain medication - their bad ad, on the other hand...<BR/><BR/>They did, to be fair, <A HREF="http://crunchydomesticgoddess.com/2008/11/16/motrins-response-to-the-onslaught-of-complaints/" REL="nofollow">offer an apology</A>, and also have an apology on their <A HREF="http://www.motrin.com/" REL="nofollow">main page</A>. It's a nice gesture - but it would have been even nicer if they hadn't put out such a ridiculous and offensive ad in the first place.Hippie Housewifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14718357472343295031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-33429953660817404692008-11-17T18:16:00.000-05:002008-11-17T18:16:00.000-05:00I just ordered a potty chair for Hannah today, in an effort to start this whole 'potty learning' thing. (I'm a total newb too and hope I don't mess things up more than I help, haha.) Hannah has been talking a lot about her poo poo, telling me when she goes and, as of today, asking me to "check it" (her diaper, that is). <BR/><BR/>BTW, have you seen this Motrin ad? http://www.cottonbabies.com/index.php?cPath=35Reecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01361219132141245628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-1079463620980593292008-11-17T17:34:00.000-05:002008-11-17T17:34:00.000-05:00haha, I love the fact that he tossed his sock in the toilet. I'm sure you were rather unimpressed. It's neat that he's now talking and comprehending complicated things! It's so nice to see children grow.Koreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13169767757479816137noreply@blogger.com
