So Dylan just had a couple more firsts this week. He has been potty trained for the last three months, however, each bathroom trip has involved 90-99% assistance (pulling down pants, leaning him forward, hugs and snuggles while he is seated for business...) This week, however, Dylan has been trying to do it all himself. For number one, at least. He has been pulling down the pants, I watch him get "the lean" in to make sure " it all goes in the bowl" and then he even does a little body jiggle to shake it off, heheh. He then shreds off a little toilet paper from the roll and wipes. SO cute.
The other first is his story reading level. Ok, I am reading, DUH, but his attention span and books being read has skyrocketed. I think it may have to do with him being sick and too tired to care as much, but we have been reading really LONG books - beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and the Lion King. They are so long that we read for about 15 minutes, put in the book mark and start up again the next day. These books have some pretty big words in them too which I am sure he doesn't understand, but he still listens and seems content.
I was very impressed with Sophia today and her first day of gymnastics. She didn't make a big deal about saying bye to me (I went over to her for fear she would cry and she didn't even pay attention to me). I went to the upstairs viewing area and she only looked up a few times to wave. She listened very well to the teachers and had a lot of fun with the activities. She did VERY well with the backwards somersaults. Yay S!
