I'm a great big vegetable eater

Mommy and Daddy are so surprised....I love me some choy-choy! I love spinach and broccoli. And the baby tomatoes (orange and red ones) are so so good too. They are super sweet. I must've eaten over a dozen baby tomatoes at lunch today. And I like salad, but usually with a lot of dressing. Pretty much any kind of choy-choy is good. Avocado is another favorite...I could almost eat a whole one...almost. :)


These are the tomatoes from our garden. The orange ones are super sweet!

Side note. Preschool was no problem today...no crying! Yay for me. And also have to add that I was dry too!

Preschool Trauma

Oh yeah....I remember what happened....when Daddy was late to pick me up. And now...I don't like school....and I cry for practically no reason. Last week, Daddy said he was going to pick me up...was late...and even though I didn't cry at the time, I remember. I tell Mommy I don't want to go to school and I don't want to wait a long long long long time. So long. Last Friday, I cried at school during recess. Told the teacher that I wanted Mommy. Then today, cried when I had to go pee pee. The teacher knew something was up and asked me if I had to go, so we went. Mommy always picks me up early (cuz she has to go get Cameron right after). Mommy hopes I forget soon and get back into the groove of school.

On a good note...I am potty trained! Okay, well not nap or bedtime trained, but daytime trained. I now tell Mommy when I have to go, and I even go poo poo. I'm okay with big potties that aren't at home....as long as they don't flush while I'm on them! Sometimes I use cups. But it's been good! Yay for me!

Almost there

So I'm almost all potty trained! Well, I'm not sleep-time trained yet, but working on that one. My nap diapers are usually dry, and last night, my night diaper was completely dry!!!!!! Yes it was! Mommy was thrilled. For daytime, I haven't had any accidents for several days. Mom still has to ask me sometimes and she'll take me just because. But, I have been telling Mommy that I have to go pee pee and sometimes I grab my underpants and then Mommy or Daddy (or Auntie CC when she was here) knew that it was time. I can usually hold it for about 2 hours. But if I have lots to drink in a short period of time, I could go 6 times in the next hour! I don't really like using the big potties when we are out....they flush all by themselves and that is scary! I am okay with a cup tho, so Mommy carries those with her everywhere.

The past few days, I've been reluctant to go to school. Mostly it's right when I wake up, I'll say that I don't want to go. But, by the time I've eaten and dressed and see Cameron go off to school, I'm ready and willing.

Auntie CC came to visit us over the long weekend and then some. It was super fun and we miss her already. I kept asking Mommy where she was. We rode two trains over the weekend. How awesome is that? And we ate really yummy food too. Auntie got me a thomas sticker book that I am totally crazy over. And thomas dvds. I love watching trains. Anything trains is wonderful!

Our schedule is busy now (okay, maybe not mine so much, but I still have to tag along...). A typical day....
7am wakeup, eat, get dressed, brush teeth
805 Cameron leaves for school
820 I leave for school
1215 We are home, eating lunch
1 nap
330 get up
430 go to dance class
6 get home, have dinner
8 shower
845 bed

Sometimes, Cameron doesn't have dance (that's two days a week) so we just play outside. But we are pretty busy now! And we like to wake up at 7 on the weekends too!

All dry at preschool

So my first day of preschool was filled with accidents...potty accidents. But my second day of preschool....was DRY!!!! Yay! And I even went potty on the potty's at school...twice! Aren't you proud? Well, Mommy was. She took me to the mall to ride a few rides and then got me a balloon! Not sure if it will happen again, but I know I can try. Yay for me. Mostly, I don't have any accidents anymore, maybe one if I don't make it to the potty on time. My diaper is also mostly dry for nap time! Yay. And when I wake up in the morning, I go on the potty, LOTS! Not perfect yet, but getting better at it.

Potty Update

So potty training is going pretty well. Mom is like a crazy person. She asks me if I have to go pee every 10 minutes....oh, my bad...cuz even then, I still had some accidents. But each days I have fewer and fewer accidents and I can hold it longer. I haven't gotten to the point where I tell Mommy I have to pee. I might have done it one time. But pooping is better. I tell Mommy and then I do it! Easy peasy. And my naptime diapers are practically dry, and my night diapers aren't as heavy as they used to be. Good job to me! We haven't been going very far from home these past few days b/c Mom is afraid we won't find a potty in time. Hopefully, soon, I'll have it down pat!

Overnight update: So I woke up this morning and my diaper was almost dry...and right away I told Mommy I needed to go pee pee. And boy did I! Usually, I wake up and my diaper weighs a pound!!! But this morning, it was basically dry, but Mommy could tell that I must have tinkled. Then shortly after peeing.....I told Mommy I had to poop. And I did! Yay!!!!!! Good for me. Oh, but then I did have a very small accident right later. I think I start to go...and then I realize that I'm not wearing a diaper, so I stop. I tell Mommy, and then I finish in the potty. Still learning I am. :)

I want to wear underpants!

Really? You do? , said Mommy. She wasn't ready ( and maybe I'm not either), but I decided yesterday to wear underpants. I wore diapers for nap and bedtime, but during the day and afternoon, I wore undies. I did great in the morning, no accidents. But in the evening, I had two accidents. It probably wasn't a good idea that we were out. Anyhow, staying in for the next few....Mommy is reminding me like every 5 minutes....oh wait, just had an accident....

Touch a Truck Day!

Today was Touch a Truck day....so that is what we did. We saw big trucks...all kinds, dump trucks, garbage trucks, fire trucks, cement trucks, police cars, police boats, 18 wheelers...all kinds. It was pretty cool!


Look at us silly hooligans on the back of the fire truck!


Cool. Police boat.



I'm the littlest fireman!


Wow. Cool.
