And they grow

My oldest son, T, is showing so much growth. He will be 3 in June. Wow, it flies and can go by so slow. He is starting to do what we ask for the most part without a melt down. (Partly due to age and the new parenting classes we just finished.) He says stuff like, "ok, I will do it." Or, "Ok, I am coming." (in a really cute voice.)
Oh, and subtle manipulation is a new one. Our conversation goes something like this.
Me: No T, you cant have that cracker, you are all done.
T: Ok, I will eat that cracker. (In a voice that is defeated and compliant.)

I cant believe they start so early. The potty training is seeming to drag on and on. It will be almost 6 months now since we started. UUUGGGG. I think we are going to up him in the underwear soon and let him get all wet. I think I'm waiting for that magical day when Thomas and I will have nothing to do but help T all day with potty training. It's not coming...

My youngest, B, has till recently been all about mommy. However, daddy is becoming someone of interest over mommy sometimes. T did the same thing and never came back. Daddy is his fav. Of course I do stay home all day with the boys... I do know that it is good for them to bond with daddy, but it would be nice for T to want me over daddy every once in a while.

B is now walking, 3 weeks strong. And eating table food better. (Whatever we are having between 2 pieces of buttered bread.)

Well, off to the races as we close another year for our oldest!
