All about Addie

Potty Training - We decided to start potty training this week and I have to say, it was a bust! I wasn't totally prepared to start and I was probably the REAL reason we had to postpone things.  We started first thing Monday and I only had three pairs of underwear for Addie.... I know, I should have had more, but it was just a test-run!  Needless to say, by noon we were all out of clean undies!  My plan is to start again after being a little more prepared.

"I Be Nice" - We aren't OVERLY strict on Addie but we do make sure that she keeps manners as often as possible.  It's a daily reminder to "be nice", "use nice words", etc.  When Addison gets in trouble or is sent to her room, before she is allowed away from time-out, we ask "are you going to be nice" and she will reply "yes".  Lately, she will beat us to the chase and will come out of time-out saying "I be nice...I be nice".  I guess it's her way of apologizing but more so her way of not having to sit in time-out too long!

All about Cooper

Gagging Self - Coop loves his hands!  Every time I look at him, it's as though he's gagging himself with his fingers or fist.  I don't know if it comes from teething or not, but at least once a day, he gags/spits up from putting his hands too far in his mouth.

Petting surfaces - Every time we lay Coop down, he will explore whatever surface he is on.  Whether it's our shirt if he's on our chest, the floor/bed if he's laying, or his car seat, he will pass his hands back and forth feeling the texture of whatever fabric he is against.
