Connor's Potty Training

Connor pooped in the potty today at approximately 8:05. He then proceeded to tell his daddy by pointing at his booty in the hallway. He celebrated with a rice crispy treat. I have taken pictures (of Connor, not his accomplishment) and will be posting.

Adoption Day!

Kevin and Logan are celebrating their adoption day today! After first playing the Wii, Kevin and Logan headed off to Krispy Kreme for a healthy lunch that makes every mother cringe. They continued on to Dave and Busters in Cleveland and then went to Bob Evans (Logan's pick.)

Kevin said that he wasn't sure who was more excited about the games. Logan won a huge stuffed dog (which has sparked several feuds between him and Connor) and got Connor a neat cup with a twisty straw.

We finished the evening together as a family. Connor chanted "Hulk on!" until the Avengers started. . and we all hung out.

Logan went to school the next day and told his friends and teacher that he got to stay home, eat donuts, and play video games.

Overall, both boys says the day was a success.

My sick day

Last week (Thursday) I got really sick. I ended up staying at home in bed with the flu, my head spinning on Friday. Logan got home and found me. He asked if it was okay if he checked up on me every thirty minutes. He went and made me a get well card and then asked where he could put it so I could see it right when I woke up. He came back every thirty minutes until 9:00 when he said he was done for the night and asked if there was anything else I needed.

It so nice to experience his nurturing side. It gives me hope that Kevin and I are doing something right and that Logan will grow into a wonderful husband and father!

Connor

Connor has been adding words to his vocabulary like crazy. Here are a few of his favorites:

Lalala - Butterfly
Too Hot! - Bon Fire
Appa Joots - Apple Juice

He is still talking in sounds. Here is a story that he told Kevin about Friday night.

It went like this:

Ababababa too hot! (The bon fire was too hot!) A poop a wawa. (I pooped on the wagon.) Anana Bach Bach Apapa Bach Bach Abooboo (Grandma Tam and Grandpa Tom and Elliot were there.) Connor opens mouth and points repeatedly (I put marshmallows in my checks and ate them.)

Connor is also becoming just like Kevin. He sits in his play room and goes through all of the action figures that are down there. His favorites are Cyclops, Magneto, and Batman. He calls all heros Ironman but refers to his toys as his "Dadas."

Elliot was holding a toy that Connor wanted and he was insisting he needed it. My mom gave it to him but asked him to go get another for Boo Boo. Connor left and actually came back holding his prized Magneto and gave it to Boo Boo. He said, "Anana Bach Bach, A dada, A BooBoo?" (this meaning, Grandma, Can I give Magneto to Elliot?"

Elliot

Elliot began rolling over at the beginning of last week. He was making his way from back to front, and getting stuck. He is now able to roll from front to back as well - but doesn't do it nearly as often.

Elliot has also been refusing his bottle. He has gone for nine hours without eating because he hates it! He screams when he sees it and thrashes around. He would rather sleep than take from the bottle.

So - we tried cereal this week. He doesn't get it with me because he is happy nursing. Jill is going to try it though and see how he does. I gave him his first few bites yesterday and he just looked confused.

Elliot has also decided that he loves Kevin this week. He has been smiling like crazy at him when he walks in the room with a look that says, "Here I am! Over here, Over here! Come get me!" It's really sweet!
