The Chair

I have opened Pandora's box. I bought Preston a step stool. He is up to counter level and loving it. He pulls it around the kitchen climbs up and get into all my business. The boy loves to climb. j

Skipping the Potty

Preston got a Potty for his first birthday and since then he has sat on it a hand-full of times. Holly just went out to buy him a step stool and a training seat. Now he sits on the potty twice a day.So after lunch today as I was cleaning up, bubs walks out of the dinning room. I hear him in the bathroom, drop all what I'm doing and run in the to the bathroom to find him with training seat all set up and climbing onto the potty. Unfortunately he had already gone, but the ML is almost there just put the feeling of going and the potty and he will have it. I do hope it happens before February. More to come. j

Time Passes

It has been a bang up month with the bubs working his magic. A kiss to remember with hugs around the corner. So I was holding the bubs in the kitchen giving him kisses on the check. I turn my head for a second and as I turn back bubs reaches in to kiss me on the lips. I was a little surprised. Happy though to think my son sees my wife and I kiss all the time. He is learning from to people that love each other and this is why love to give hugs, the dog, Holly, Auntie Des and I. It's just very heart warming to walk into a room and have your son run up to you and hug you. j

P is lost

So lately I have been dubbed Mamma from the Bubs which is ok . I would like him to go back to Pappa i fell in time he will. A new thing is happening. He is starting to get attached. He wants his Mamma and not Mamma Mamma but me. I'll scope him up from the person who has him and he give his little wave bye. j

weekend away

I spent this last weekend with some old friends in Las Vegas. Leaving my family was hard but I was excited to spend some time with guys. Now back home I can say I really missed them. Waiting at the airport was hard I really wanted to see my family. To see my wife and son. Now back taking care of Preston he seems to be bigger more vocal. Spending those days away enabled me see Preston not as my baby boy but my little man. He has grown to be a toddler. j

Turn

I turn around and what do I see but Preston climbing everything I see. The boy has found his climbing legs. He also runs too. The game is getting a little faster now and there is less margin error. Now if I could only get him to say his p's because I'm just a little tired of being called mamma. j

Climbing

A while back Preston started to climb on his chair. We would tell him to sit down so he would not fall and hurt himself. Months later Preston has become a little more adventurous. For weeks he has been contemplating climbing his highchair and has finally planted his flag at the top. He has only fallen once and at that time he just brushed himself off and climbed back up. There is a silver lining in this, Preston still listen when I tell him to sit down before he hurts himself. j
