We Love Cobi

Cobi's spending the day with us while Tita Lena is in Florida. The kids were excited to see him this morning.

Bubbles! By Emma

We played with bubbles today and Emma loved them. She didn't say the word quite as enthusiastically as T did when he first started saying bubbles, but she did say it repeatedly and kept asking for more. :)

Haiya!

Daddy made T "armor" the other day. They then proceeded to have a sword fight. T took Daddy down.




Another T/Daddy interaction - tonight Daddy got called in after dinner but made it home about 5 minutes after T went to bed. Daddy decided to go in to say good night but T said, "leave, Daddy." He did give Daddy a kiss though. Sometimes it's hard to believe he just turned 3.

The Bump

Early last week, we noticed a bump on T's temple. He hadn't hit his head and we hadn't noticed it before. But we dismissed it until I took this picture.


Can you see it? Of course, after the picture, it started to concern me and I had to take him to see the pediatrician. We had been thinking of switching back to T's original doctor who we left when he was around 6 months old due to insurance changes so this gave us an opportunity to see her again. Anyway, that's a different story, but we are going back to her because I was reminded how much I like her.

Back to the bump. She didn't think it was anything. Thought that maybe it was due to asymmetry (the ear on this side is also different) and said we'll just observe it.

Funny - deep down I knew she'd tell me it was fine and that I probably didn't need to take him in, but there's something about needing a doctor to make the diagnosis to really make me feel like it's all ok (yes, Daddy is a doctor and said it was ok but he's a nephrologist :P).

One of the Big Kids

All E wants to do when we hang out with The Posse is be one of the big kids. Sometimes they let her. Like today, when they were watching TV. The look is priceless. She's happy she's included. :)

"Pee pee! Pee pee!"

Potty training has been in full affect for over 2 weeks. It's going well. Much less traumatic than I thought it would go.

I don't know what it was about turning 3 - T was just ready. He still wears a pull up when we go out, when he naps, and when he sleeps at night. But he hasn't had any accidents while we've been out (knock on wood) and he's been waking up dry from his naps. Tonight, about an hour and a half after he went to bed, I heard him screaming in his room, "pee pee!," repeatedly. It seems he was able to wake up from the urge to pee. I'm impressed. Though, I won't be so impressed if it starts to interrupt my sleep -he's not quite capable to properly pulling his pants up and down and we still have a door stopper on his door so he can "escape."

One area we need to work on is using the potty before the last minute. He's successfully held himself until he reaches the bathroom but on several occasions he has gotten wet because he wasn't properly situated before doing his thing.

I can't complain though. I'm one proud mama for the way he's managed to pick up the potty thing. I hope Emma is as easy when the time comes. Keep up the good work!
