Golfing with a backscratcher....
FORE!
Story time in the reading corner (which is surrounded by toys.) Current favorite: Once Upon A Potty. Is potty training upon us? I don't know but we read that book 15 times today (no exaggeration) and Sam sat on the potty twice. He was kind of freaked out to have his little bumpy hanging out in space and even more freaked out when we flushed the toilet. I think he needs his own little seat. I know it's early but I'm hopeful!
Sometimes we read so much I go cross-eyed. Oh, the sacrifices I make!
Not pictured is time spent in the "fort," aka my pots and pans cabinet. We took Twilight Turtle in there and looked at all the stars and enjoyed a drink and a snack. Also not pictured is Dinnertime Madness where Sam tipped his chair backwards, managing to pin both feet and legs underneath it in such a way that I was not at all sure he hadn't broken both legs. Luckily he's fine, not even a bruise, but we've decided that he's eating in the highchair from now on, screaming or no screaming. He'll adjust. And he won't have broken legs.
After all of that, including being up at 5:30, I'm beat!
Ah, the joys of repetative reading. I try and make alternative storylines after about the 3rd time through....nothing like being scolded by a 2 year old to "Read it right!"
ReplyDeleteMy Samuel will not sit still long enough to read a book. I think I've gotten through one book - ever. I really want him to learn to love to read but so far it is not happening.
ReplyDeleteSince my kids have decided to wear diapers for the rest of their lives, I have a little toilet (or two) you could have.
ReplyDeleteIt's all potty training! But don't hold your breath on the being "trained" part. Boys average 39 months old and girls 35 month when they finally "get it."
ReplyDelete*sigh*
Josh- just deserts for telling Grandpa D. "that's NOT how it goes Grandpa"
ReplyDeleteBeth- we thought so too, eventually he got it.
Tristan and I read the same 10 books about 100 times per day. The good thing is i can sometime convince him not to read them one at a time so i can change it up before the next round of reading 30 seconds later.
ReplyDeleteI keep looking at the Twilight Turtle, its by the same company as the sleep sheep i know neither boy can live without. How is it? Does Same like it?
Believe it or not, when Sam is 22 you will still remember the words to the books that you had to read over and over and over again! I have several that are permanently etched in my mind. ha,ha
