Week of May 9-Part 2

Mother's Day! My gift from Jake-a handmade stepping stone with his name, the date, and his handprint. He did a great job with some help from Daddy! I love it!
This one is for Mary! See....I try to instill some creativity into our little artist! Painting on Monday the 10th. He painted then drew with crayons then markers then colored pencils for well over an hour! We are starting to see his mind develop through his drawings and projects now-he can write a "J" for his name; he drew a dolphin the other day that, honestly, looked better than a dolphin that I could draw and there was NO question that it was a dolphin; and we are starting to see a face every now and then instead of just circles. So fun to watch.
Sophie's first time in the Exer-Saucer! Wednesday the 12th. She likes it quite a bit and reaches/plays with the toys more than I thought she would. We decided to try the Exer-Saucer because she was trying so hard to sit up all the time. Thought this would help with her interest in being upright and satisfy her need to explore! So far so good.
Now, how could I NOT post a potty shot? Jake has been doing GREAT at daycare with using the potty. He has been going 3-4 times per day and even pooped on the potty! (More than you wanted to know?) He is not as interested at home but we have been trying. We think that daycare provides some natural and built-in peer pressure as he watches everyone going on the big potty. Here is what I found after I gave him a few moments of privacy to go without me staring him down!

No Way! I am so jealous! Soren's been sitting and not producing much of anything the last 5 days or so. He'll even want to sit and sit, expecting something, but he will have gone in his pull-up. So excited for you, and poop too! BIG stuff for a BIG boy!
