Toilet training: the most exciting thing, at least for me, about this month is that something clicked with Joshua for toilet training. He has about two accidents a week now, but they're small and easily dealt with. He knows to go to the bathroom when he has to go. He is dry at night. Frankly, it's incredibly surprising to me.
Clothes: oh, clothes. Joshua has definite ideas about what he wants to wear, and something that is nothing that he owns. Sometimes getting him dressed is easy, sometimes it is difficult. Also, he hates wet clothes. If he gets the tiniest spill he wants to change his clothes immediately. I often let him, but sometimes make him deal with it if it's really small.
Eating: eating is getting a bit better, but he still doesn't eat vegetables. But he doesn't get a treat after meals then, and it doesn't seem to bother him. He loves strawberries.
Playing: He got his running boosters, like Isaac, a few weeks ago. He is starting to enjoy playing games, although doesn't always have the attention span for them. He likes to color and play with Duplos and sing.
Cuddling: Joshua is a great at cuddling. Isaac is pretty good at it, but Joshua is better. He is often content to just sit with me, especially after being upset about something or after a bath. His "no, not yet" response to my question of whether he's ready to get up is so cute that he often does get several more minutes.
Going outside: Joshua often puts his sunglasses on with his hat on backwards. It is the middle of winter and we've just seen our first sun in about a month, so the sunglasses have been a bit weird. He is really good at putting everything away once we get home without being asked.
School: Joshua seems to really be enjoying school. Every once in a while I get a tidbit from him, although some of his stories are a bit sketchy and I wonder what was really going on. Joshua's favorite thing about today, a non-school day, was going to school and playing...
