Ballgame

Thursday a friend gave us some tickets to the Astros game. We decided to skip swim lessons and see the baseball game. Free tickets don't come along often. My son loved the game. He has been to several now and loves cheering with the rest of the crowd. The 'Stros lost but that was alright because it was a good game. Lots of action. After the game while walking back to the truck my son let us know he had to pee. He told us he would pee on tree and his dad told him nope not a good idea lets wait till we get back to the truck. He then said "I pee on wheel!" Needless to say it was his first pee outside experience but I am sure there will be many too come.

Preschooler Secret Greeting

This is second hand but I just have to post about it. This morning my son started in the next room because of our incident yesterday. There are several kids in this class that my son knows well. This morning my husband dropped him off and walked him to the new room on the other side of the building. He says that as soon as our son walked in his buddy Jacob who just recently moved up a couple of weeks ago came up to him and they did some sort of friend greeting. They were standing face to face and they bumped bellies and then touched foreheads. My husband said it looked like some sort of secret lodge handshake kind of thing. Now preschoolers have their own secret greetings… How funny is that?

Bite of the Century

I usually do not blog about bad things that happen but today I get a call from daycare. My son has been bitten. So he has gotten bit many times before. Well this time it broke the skin through the clothing he had on. So it wasn't teeth to bare skin. His shirt was in the way and the little boy still broke skin. I didn't look at it until this evening and I am glad I didn't. It looks pretty bad. I had a talk with the daycare director. They are going to move him to the next class starting tomorrow. This isn't too big of a reprieve the other little boy moves up soon as well. I hope that things calm down cause I was so ready to quit that daycare today. I can't wait to hear what my husband has to tell them tomorrow.

Warm & Fuzzy

Last night in the middle of the night I get a tap on my arm and hear “Mommy I need go potty!” So I groggily roll out of bed and into the bathroom. I get him on the potty and he goes. He then looks up at me with this glazed look and says “Mommy I love you!”. It was one of those sweet moments. I just wish it hadn’t been at 3am.
PS: Yes I am very lucky that my son will wake me up in the middle of the night when he has to go potty. Pretty amazing for one who is not yet 3 years old.

Pay off

Swimming lessons have started to pay off. In the past my son has not liked to get his head wet. If you put him on his back in the water his head would be out of the water with his feet straight up in the air. As the lessons have gone on the feet are now in the water and the head is more in. This weekend while taking a bath my son laid down in the tub on his back. Ears were in the water and everything. He just laid there all relaxed like he was in a tropical pool or something on a beautiful day. It is wonderful how relaxed in the water he has become. If nothing else comes of swimming lessons we have made some progress. I am hoping that lessons get better as lately he has not wanted to go. Hopefully they will get better in the second half of the session but no matter what he has made progress from when he started.

Success

I hope I am not writing this prematurely but yesterday while in the mall buying shoes for my little guy with extra wide feet he turns to me and says "Mommy I need go poo poo in the potty!". So we proceed to the mall bathrooms and sure enough he hasn't had an accident so I put him on the potty. AFter just about a minute he poops.... I am THRILLED!!!!! At daycare they said he hadn't asked to poo poo on the potty they just notice him trying to hide and corral him to the restroom.So I believe this is a major step in the right direction. So for going yesterday he got a batman monster truck and a Build a Bear Monkey in a Batman suit named Friday.

I very Hungry!

Lately my son says the cutest thing! "I very hungry Mommy! I eat so I get big and strong" and then he flexes his muscles. It is just adorable unless of course I am trying to get him to go to sleep. Before bed he likes to tell me this and I wonder if he actually has a bottomless pit for a stomach. He will have already had dinner and probably a snack too. I guess he is just a growing boy, cause he eats often! Man he can put away some food for his size. Good thing he is so active. I am wondering if maybe he is about to hit another growth spurt. I guess it is about time since I just bought him all new summer clothes. Figures.
