Blocks

Yesterday Thomas practiced building towers with Grandma Brochard and today I find him carefully stacking blocks on top of a toy car in a game of reverse Jenga.

Andrew's quotes

Andrew has a knack for saying the darnedest things. I haven't written them all down right away, but one sticks in my mind that I tell over and over. The other night as I was putting him to bed I gave him a kiss on the cheek. He reached up after and wiped his cheek, as he often does. I understand a lot of kids don't like the sensation or are sensitive to touch, so it doesn't bother me, but I was curious his reasoning. I said, "Andrew, why do you always wipe off my kisses after I give them to you?" He replied, "Don't worry, Mommy, the love is already inside me." :)

Thomas used the potty!

Thomas was sitting with me at the computer today when he said "PeePee." We checked his diaper and it was dry but when I asked, he said he did want to sit on the potty. First he insisted on standing (like his brothers), but when that didn't work he grabbed his potty seat. After reading for a short bit, he actually peed on the potty at 20 1/2 months! He and I had a great laugh as he thought it hilarious that he could squirt out little bits of pee. I don't expect he'll do this from now on, but it was amazing to see him initiate it all by himself. Yay!
