Bryson, Bryson, Bryson... What is in the toilet? Yes, you heard the question correctly, what exactly did you put in the toilet this evening? It is amazing to watch you go through your developmental stages. What two and three year olds do not flush items down the toilet? I remember my mom telling me I used to try to flush doll babies heads down the toilet - well, if only you could tell us what exactly it was. You were throwing a tantrum, one hell of a tantrum, with Tonya tonight because she took away your light saber after you hit the puppy with it, and the next thing we know, the bathroom was flooded and you were naked. After much work, it is working again but we have yet to find out what's down there.
Since you have had all week off school for the thanksgiving holiday I decided it was time to re-potty train you. You used to request all the time and have very few accidents but that had changed. We cant figure out why but you had decided it was okay to wet your pants again. So, saturday night we a started over and had a lot of success at first with initiation, using your iPad. Then, you didn't like my method anymore and you and I had a break to regroup. I then took a slightly different approach and as of today you were requesting 80% of the time with success. Way to go!!! Now, if only you realized the pee is supposed to go in the potty. You tend to close the lid mid-stream, turn around and spray the shower curtain, or make a nice pattern on the wall and cabinets. I can tell by your face this is not necassirly on purpose but instead, a true lack of attending. That 30 second attention span does not help us much in this situation especially when you are very excited to get your candy afterwards. I am assuming that since we also taught you to flush this week, that is why you flushed items down the toilet tonight.
Some of your accomplishments recently:
1. You can now identify your head both receptively and expressively
2. You can match non-identical pictures
3. You can dress yourself (when you want to)
4. You can complete the steps of toiling (with a little bit of a mess)
5. You can count to two
6. You can use your iPad for basic communication
This week will be interesting to watch. We will be going to Nancy and Terry's for Thanksgiving and then you will be initiated by fire to a family tradition. Your grandma, my mom, and I used to always do black Friday shopping. Once she passed away Valerie started carring on this tradition with me. So now, on Friday you will join is for this very eventful day! We will wake at about 330 am to be at Target by 430 am then off to breakfast followed by best buy and toys r us for a little Christmas shopping.
I love you baby, keep on truckin
Mom
