Of toddlerhood and potties...




Aron took a big step in the right direction last night. After noticing his willingness to sit on a potty-chair both with and without diapers/pants, I attemtped to have him go before bedtime. However, we only have the adult potty upstairs, which is a little daunting for a three-foot Hobbit. Regardless of this fact, Aron sat backwards and let it fly. :-) While it is a step in the right direction, we still have a long way to go. Yea, Aron!

Both Alyssa and Aron got to meet their new baby cousin a few weeks ago. They were trying their hardest to help out in every way they knew how to. They would walk up to Addison in her bouncy seat and say, "Nice. Baby..." while trying to kiss, hug, and pat her on the head and give her a pacifier. They did not understand why Addy did not want to take her paci every time they tried to give it to her, but they were trying in their own two-year-old way to help. :-) Since Alyssa has been unusually obsessed with babies, I suppose this is how Alyssa will have to get her baby fix. (Daddy and Mommy are a little scared to try the baby thing again since we got two for the price of one the first time around. [lol] )

We are keeping busy everyday of the week. We go to Storytime at the Library on Mondays, which Alyssa is the most vocal and jumpiest toddler there at times. Aron is a little overwhelmed, and not sure of what to do but he will get it eventually. We also go to the playroom at the YMCA while Mommy tries to go and sweat her butt away, and we go to the Zoo and the Mall at least once a week while the weather is good. Last week, we got mobbed by the Lorikeets when we went to feed them. I guess now that school is in session, they do not get as many people feeding them nector. :-) I aim to take them to the Cleveland Natural History Museum one day so that I can show them what a REAL dinosaur looks like. :-)
