It was nice to see Da Da pull-up in the driveway this morning. I have a feeling that even though it couldn't be helped, that Da Da leaving set us back a bit in the ever so needed consistency. Jonathan is showing his terrible 2s "teeth" the last few days. He is testing us OFTEN and not complying to simple requests. He was so sweet the first few days. I read somewhere today (because I scour behavior websites) that it takes 21 day to create a habit.
We always follow-up discipline with an "I love you" and he hugs and says it back. I think much of what he says is mimicking us. I also know some of this might be that he is frustrated with us because we don't understand all the words he says. He's silly and sweet and then a second later he's demanding and stubborn. I guess he's a typical 2 year old.
We think he may be getting bored with his toys. We were only able to stuff a few items in the car when we picked him up last Saturday. He has so many things at Sherry's that we hope to go pick-up in a week or so. We went to Target and bought him two new toys tonight. He is playing great with Da Da while I type this update. I hear Thank You! You're Welcome.
It's close to 5:30 PM so Daddy needs to go make the little monkey dinner.
Wow did he put it away tonight. He had Mac-and-Cheese, sliced carrots, and green beans from the garden (again). He ate it all and said MORE, Da Da reminded him how to ask. He then said in his sweetest little voice Moooore please.
After dinner we played and played until Linda and Neil (our favorite neighbors) stopped by so Neil could meet Jonathan. Linda had brought Jonathan a bear earlier in the week that Jonathan just loves. She told him it was Bo Bo the Bear and he has been putting Bo Bo to sleep and tip toeing out of his room daily. He was so cute with them and very sweet and shy. By the time they left he was jumping and yelling GOOD BYE.
7:30 and we brushed, PJ'd, and it was off to bed. When we put him to bed we always say goodnight, I love you. When he is crying we don't get a response, tonight he smiled and didn't say a word. Also, he didn't cry at all.
We love this boy!
