Since Becky's gone home, we haven't been up to too much. We've taken the occassional boat trip here and there, but that's about it. We were going to try and do the puyallup fair before it ended this weekend, but I don't think that's going to happen, we've been too busy! My new schedules between Oliver and Maika has taken some adjusting, but I think I'm pretty used to it now.
Ian has been growing in leap and bounds!! On top of his very high vocabulary for his age, he has been going poopie and pee pee on the potty occassionally! I definitely didn't think we'd get an early start on this since he was having so many poopie problems and absolutely hated the idea of being moved or touched when he went to the bathroom. But, he started wanting to sit on the potty like his girlfriend Gabi and his pal Jacob. Since then, he's only been doing better and better. He used to only go pee pee and only when I would ask him if he wanted to use the potty, but one day he got "the look" and I hurried him to the potty to try and poop and he did! He saw how very excited I was (plus he got chocolate milk) and decided this was a good thing. Needless to say, this week has been the biggest success since all 4 of his last bowel movement have been on the potty and the last 3 he has told me before he starts going that he needs to go poopie on the potty! I'm definitely not trying to fully potty train him yet(he's only 20 months), but we're sure on the right road. I'm so proud of him and can't believe how fast he's growing and how smart he's becoming.
Along with all the great things that are coming with him growing up, there are also A LOT more tantrums these days. He has been testing me in almost every way possible some days. This is definitely a challenge for me and my patience, but we are getting through it.
Here are some random pictures from the last month or so. I promise it won't be a month until the next post!
