Potty training is on...

Sara has been waking up from her naps dry and sometimes she is dry in the am. She will sit on the potty but hasn't actually went on it. This morning she woke and told me potty and book. So we both went on our potties at the same time. Sara went potty! I am so excited hopefully it will happen again soon!

Puzzle season has begun again for Evan he completes 4-8 puzzles during a sitting. He wakes in the morning and wants to do a puzzle before breakfast. He is usually completing 48 piece puzzles but can do a 100 piece one. He likes to do puzzles of his favorite characters last year they were all Thomas puzzles and this year its CARS. CARS is not easy to find in anything bigger than a 60 piece. He has such patience and will stay until they are completed. Sara wants to play too, although last week when we were busy she took 4 puzzles and dumped them in a pile. It was not fun on a busy day to have to put all of Evans puzzles together to straighten them out.

We also love to watch Word World on PBS. The kids have a few DVD's and recently Evan has been making a game of building a word. He takes the magnetic letters and has to run like a crazy man around finding more letters to build a word. He then sorts the letters and numbers and groups them by color. He can use them to spell his name and Sara's name. Hopefully he will show some interest in writing soon!
It is supposed to be a miserable weekend. Marc won't be home until this afternoon. I'm ihoping we can go to the big mall 20 minutes away and stop at Sams Club and Hobby Lobby too. I think Grandma will tag along for an extra set of hands/eyes. Her wrist is slowly healing she has OT twice a week.

  2. Well I guess I was 2/3 yesterday as far as my comments posting. I am not sure why I have such trouble here! I even tried different computers before (when I was trying to use my google profile). Anyhow I wanted to say KUDOS to Sara for starting potty training! I'm thinking of starting with Ian in January. He did point to the potty and say "pee pee" today. He definitely doesn't wake up dry though. He often soaks through his pjs and sheet no matter what diaper I put on him at night. Nadia was potty trained before she was 2 and maybe Sara can be also. :-) I'm also impressed with Evan's puzzle skills. Nadia is getting close to being able to do a 12 piece puzzle on her own but definitely nothing bigger than that. I end up doing most of the puzzle when we do 64 piece or 24 piece, etc. Also, congrats on him knowing how to spell two names!! Nadia can say the letters of how to spell her name, but she can't identify them yet. She is NOT very visual - very auditory.
