I couldn't let the month go by without recording several of the really cute things Sammy's been doing lately.
Although I still suspect he's slightly behind in the speaking category, he's quickly catching on about being funny.
Last week he was listening to Yo Gabba Gabba (a TV show on Nick Jr.). I really am not a fan of the show, but he seems to like it so we leave it on. They play the quirkiest songs on there and most of the time I'm not even paying any attention to them. As was the case was last week.... A song came on called "Inside Voice, Outside Voice" where they repeated the verse Inside voice, very quietly, indicating voices should be low inside. Great idea.
Within several minutes after the song was over, I hear Sammy singing a song...but instead of singing in his usual somewhat quiet voice - he's literally yelling it at the top of his lungs INSIDE VOICE is Quiiiiiet ... INSIDE VOICE is Quiiiiiet!!
LMAO - me thinks somehow he missed the message! And then the more he sings the song and the more we laugh , the louder he sings it. Too funny!!
This past week his actions have been more funny than his attempt at humoring us...
Whenever he's being disciplined, we attempt to put on our "serious face". LOL - Now every parent knows this is the tilted eyebrows and scrunched lips look to show YOU MEAN BUSINESS. Oh...but not to Sammy.
When he's been told no and put on time-out, we usually have to give him the "look" to keep him in place on the couch. Unfortunately when you give him the "look" he begins to bust out in giggles and returns one comical look back to you on what you must look like to him. (funny enough to make him laugh hysterically...LOL). So yeah... we know we're fucked when it comes to disciplining this child. The girls are no help either - they give in to laughter quicker than Sam and I do. It doesn't help..LOL.
Now lately I've been trying to get him to pee or poopy on the potty before we send him off to daycare. He will be 3 next month - so he needs to get on the ball! This morning, however, he had diarrhea (poor guy). I heard a very wet BM sound coming from the other room. I knew what was going on.
He pottied in his pull-up. When I offerred to get him new pants he said he was going to go on the potty. Yay! He raced off to the bathroom in record time. After he bang on the bathroom door chasing Sarah out, who just got in there herself, he quickly shed his 'ewwww-yucky' pull-up and sat on the potty. Since it was less than normal poop he kept saying "Dat Not poop...Dat Pee!" LOL - he was confused that the liquid wasn't pee. I tried to correct him and help him understand. Nope buddy - that's poop, but he would just keep correcting me instead.."No NOT poop -Pee!" Ok. Not arguing with a 2 year old.
So when he was finished with the potty he decided to go back to playin out in the formal living room with his trains. Without pants. I figured it probably couldn't hurt him to run naked for a few minutes till I finished packing our lunches. (Which is what I was doing when I heard the first sounds of diarrhea errupt)
I was in the kitchen when I heard him say "ewwwwww" Of course, my response is 'Uh-oh' Then I hear "...not pee THAT's POOP!"
Great.. :/
He left a squirt on the carpet. I went out and got him to the potty to finish his progress. By the time I got back out to the living room, the dog LICKED up the poop squirt. Ugh!!!
Now I can't tell where it was... Guess its time to get the carpets cleaned.
