Stand and Deliver!

email from daycare today:

hi! I just wanted to let you know that Ian went pee on the potty today. He stood up and aimed pretty well. I was like wow, sweet. I really think if is ready because he wanted to try and waited a little and went. Well, we wil keep on this !
Thanks,
Melissa (That’s a teacher/caregiver at daycare, not our Melissa.)

Photos again with the next entry, I promise!

EDIT – just for posterity —
Ian’s first measure of toilet success from a daycare standpoint, I guess… I think we’ve maybe had better luck at home, although he’s very inconsistent. See this image larger.

Morning Chatter

ian – “Daddy, I’m poopy!” (Turned out to just be wet, but whatever…)
me -“Oh?”
ian – “I want to go downstairs. You can change me.”
me – “Sounds like a deal. Do you maybe want to watch some TV?”
ian – “Sure. Mommy asleep?”
me – “Nope, Mommy’s at work kiddo.”
ian – “Why?”
me – “Because we’ve gotta make some money so we can pay for things like the house!”
ian – “Okay.”
me – “Hey did you know it is my birthday today?”
ian – “Happy birthday, Daddy!”
me – “Aww, thank you!”
ian – “You wewcome!”

Pizza and Peace Out

Just a quick update… Yesterday, when I picked Ian up from daycare, he surprised me by saluting the room on his way out with a “peace out!” This phrase would perhaps be more common on a show like “Yo MTV raps.” But apparently all the kids are saying it in his class… it was cute.

Conversation over Ian’s 2nd piece of pizza, for dinner.
Ian – “EMMMMMM!” (Not a good noise… this is the sound of “I bit my lip” or “I burned my tongue.”)
Me – “What? Too hot? Too cold?”
Ian looks at me but does not answer.
Me – “Too sharp? Too crusty?” (By now I’m just joking with him to keep him from focusing on whatever went wrong.)
Ian – “Not too sharp. Not too crusty.”
Me – “Well then, what is it?”
Ian – “It’s pizza.”
