He Tried It!

Tonight during our bath time JJ said that he had to go poop. I asked him if he wanted to sit on the toilet, he thought a moment and then said Yes! He sat on the toilet and tried, but no result. Oh well, it was still monumental.

What a Performer

Jim said that JJ what's hilarious at school today. He stood up in the middle of the entire group and was singing that alligator song as loud as he possibly could. Better yet he was singing it word by word. After that he then began singing the hats song as the entire audience was dying laughing. Jim, Reese, and all the other kids were enjoying the performance. JJ is such a little performer.

Today we went to the library. JJ and Reese had picked out new library bags so we wanted to try them out. JJ was trying to put books in his bag while Reese left hers on the floor as she chased older girls around the library.

Amazing

Both kids amaze me more and more everyday. Reese has started to get in and off the bike by herself without being shown, she continues to say more and more things each week, she has 3 molars, and her constant smile brightens up my day. JJ has been talking up a storm. Everyday I've been hearing new words and he's continuing to surprise me with how smart he is as he puts these new words into sentences. Today he asked me to turn on Einstein's. I turned it on and chose one that we watched this past weekend. As it came on and he heard the music he shouted out, "soup, soup, soup" all to the beat of the music. He knew just by hearing the music that this episode was about bringing soup to Rocket's grandma. Not ti mention that he new the words to music along with the beat. Amazing!!!!
