SHARING? What’s that?
Wow. What happened to summer? It’s over! Here comes fall. And so much has changed. Talk. Talk. Talk. Everyone is talking in the Alban house hold. Jack says EVERYTHING. And I mean EVERYTHING. He is now repeating cuss words, so we have to watch what we say. He is also getting some 3-4 word sentences out, “Mommy watch cars please”, “Mommy chocolate milk please” “I pee”, “Toashie- NICE!”. Sharing and fighting have started to become a regular occurrence in our house. Apparently, every toy in the house is Jacks. Especially Lightening McQueen and any other cars. Well, except for the purple and pink ones. We work on sharing, but its so hard. Jack will intentionally push Sophie and she falls over. She cries. Time out for Jack. Or… she will bite back. Even better. Then he cries too. At least she has developed a method to protect herself I suppose. Good thing kisses and Cars band aids can easily fix boo boos. J
This weekend we picked up some pumpkins. I thought this would be SO FUN. Which it was… for about 5 minutes. Then all of the pumpkins were Jacks and Sophie wasn’t allowed to touch them. Which didn’t last long before she ran up and grabbed run and ran off. Well then Jack is crying and grabbing it back. Pushing. Biting. Screaming. Crying. Happy fall everyone! J
Sophie, 15 mths
Sophie says no, mommy, daddy, pappy, papa, mimi, kiki, up, down, ee ee, go, baba, nah nah, nana (banana), moooo e (More), gink (drink), car, cat, doggie, two, Ack (Jack), cow, wa wa (water), bus, tree. Who would have thought a 15 mth could say SO MUCH? After so much silence from Jack I was not ready for this explosion! And its SO FUN! Sophie is exploading! She still nurses here and there, and will ask for it. I didn’t know this was going to happen, but we are going with the flow. She usually nurses at 5am, and back to bed. Sometimes when I get home from work. I recently started telling her “No” in the middle of the night and she seems to go back to sleep (or I put her in her own bed and she falls asleep). Sophie does GREAT at bedtime. Bath, bottle, cuddles, bed. Little crying and down anywhere from 830-9 sleeping most of the night in her own bed. She is walking and running and chasing brother. She wants to be just like bubby. If he has a banana, she wants a banana. If its in the peel, hers needs to be in the peel. If his is out, hers is out.
Jack, 2.5 years
Wow. I was so worried about Jack talking and this summer it took off. He repeats and tries to say everything we do. Last time I blogged I could count the number of words. I couldn’t even begin to try to count the words anymore. He assigns a name to everyone, and people even have things (Buddy’s car, Mimi’s car). He knows what kinds of cars everyone has… and will point them out on the road. He knows all colors and counts to ten. (One, two, three, four, five, fifteen, eight, nine, ten!). And we can never count to three… its always ten. I am so proud of him! He is doing so well. He points out every bus and truck and motorcycle and “race car”. He loves cars and lightening McQueen. He has attempted the potty hear and there. We are getting there and he doesn’t like the poop in his diaper… So it must be getting closer. We still notice he has a hard time with groups or attention. He doesn’t like class settings, teachers or the fire man at the festival this weekend. Class makes him afraid. He doesn’t like the “birthday song” either…. Too much attention. I hope he grows out of it. J
Things are going well. Busy parents, busy kids. Last night we went to feed the ducks and Jack ran the whole way home. I swear I don’t know where this kid gets his energy. And of course… baby sister was following and trying to run too. She did pretty good for a 1 year old. J
