About John Christian
I'd like to note that today was a much better day with John Christian & yesterday wasn't so bad either. He went all day without one time out or peeing on anything other than the potty! :) I have made it a point to give him some extra attention by reading extra books during the day & even playing trains. He was a pretty sweet big brother today & helped me out a little with stuff around the house! I am very proud of him. I guess it just goes to show that a little attention goes a long way. I don't think he means to get into trouble (well, most of the time). I just think he needs to have constant supervision, extra special attention, & something to keep his hands busy at all times! That's probably every kid, but as a mom I am going to try and do a little better myself. It's worth it to have a happier kid!!
I hope he sleeps all night tonight in his own bed or at least more than he has! He was asleep by 8:30 tonight & took a nap today. Both were without one ounce of complaint!! His only new thing is that Molly now must sleep in his room b/c he says he doesn't want to get lonely! Plus, since I couldn't convince him that monsters aren't real the second best thing was to explain that monsters are scared of dogs & that Molly eats monsters to protect him because he is her best friend. So far that explanation has satisfied him. Now, I just have to convince Molly to stay in his room b/c she prefers to sleep on Zach's dirty pile of clothes!! :)
Funny Stuff!
I forgot to note that John Christian had a hard time blowing up balloons to decorate for Charlie's birthday party. Instead, he figured out all by himself that he could fill them up with water!!! Lucky for me cousin Faith & Lillian enjoyed running in the kitchen to tell me before there was too big of a mess!
Zach tried to teach John Christian something the other day. We forgot what it was, but John Christian quickly informed him, "Dad, I don't think that's appropriate for me!"
A few weeks back when we were at my grandmother's Charlie reached for an old Mickey Mouse jack in the box toy that had metal springs coming out of the clothe. John Christian immediately got up & took the toy from Charlie. He said, "No, Charles! That toy is dangerous!!"
Finally, when he gets frustrated with Charlie (which is 99% of the time) he refers to him as "Charles" or "Charles William". We almost never call him either of those names & it is really funny to hear John Christian refer to him by using his whole name.
Zach came home from work the other night & said he wanted to get something to drink which isn't surprising in this 90 degree plus heat. Hearing Zach say he was thirsty prompted John Christian to say, "Oh, you need a cold beer! I'll go get us one!"
