Boy Christmas vakay is going to be hard. J is a boy that needs to be on the move. It's way too cold to take too many trips in and out (plus the 14+ inches of snow doesn't help). He asks at least a million time a day to go to Target, the store or just outside. I'm hoping all the new toys from Santa will keep him occupied!
I'm so impressed with the continued language explosion! He was labelling numbers in the newspaper today, he's now spontaneously describing objects with an adjective in front and he's using people's names more frequently in conversation. His sitter and cousin are both named Maddie. When he's talking about his cousin, he just says "Maddie". When talking about the sitter, he calls her "Different Maddie".
Eating is still trucking along. Still only dry and crunchy stuff and "banbans", but he's swallowing more of the pieces that break off of crackers and stars. We've decreased his tube feeds, he's drinking his allotment much better during the day.
Brother abuse. Jackson's jealously is really showing now that Jameson is more interested in toys and so close to walking. J will push Jameson down or pull his hair. He also tells me to put Jameson in the "time out chair". Where that came from, I have no clue, we don't have a time out chair. On the flip side, he can be so sweet to Jameson. J gives him hugs and says "love brother". I guess it just depends on the day and which toy is in demand at the moment.
Object du Jour: The rectangle teeth. J loves his Mr. Potato Head pieces and parts. The rectangle teeth are his favorite obsession lately. Thank goodness Santa found an 80 piece Mr. Potato Head set with tons of new pieces and parts to obsess over!
