He has all of his canine teeth and they have been the most bothersome so far. I know they hurt, but we need to find another way of handling his frustration. Right now I'm working on "blowing it out." So far, nothing. But, we will find something that will work.
He knows a few more colors now. He knows red, blue, green, and yellow without any help and, with help, he also knows purple and orange (dare I say those two colors together?!?). He loves coloring. So much that he's colored on the walls and furniture! But, what toddler doesn't do that? Luckily he hasn't done it other than that one time.
He still uses his words a decent amount. He loves for me to sing to him... not sure why because it's terrible! He loves it when we sing the mail song from Blue's Clues. He wags his tail and then screams MAIIIIIIL at the end. It is absolutely precious. He also likes to sing "Anna" songs from Frozen. He really doesn't care what song I sing, he just knows them as Anna songs. He sings "Let It Go" and he sings "Dooooooooor!" but that's about it. Every time he watches Frozen, he smiles really big when the songs come on. He also likes to sing "Jingle Bells."
He recognizes Santa Claus, but he calls him "Cheeta." I'm not sure how he worded that one, but it's consistent and has been for a few weeks now. He also likes the Snowman, or "Meeman." Sometimes I'm baffled at how he says things. He really likes the Santa Buddies movies on Netflix and he likes "The Polar Express." He calls it the "Cheeta Train."
Believe it or not, we are actually going to start potty training him. Well, attempt to. I think he's ready. He's been showing signs for a few weeks now. He says "Mama! Poop!" before he poops. One night he looked at Cameron as he was getting him dressed for bed and said "Dada! Diaper!" Cameron asked if he wanted him to take off his diaper and he shook his head yes. As soon as Cameron took off his diaper, he peed everywhere. That was when it really hit me that he is probably ready to sit on the potty. The first time I sat him on the potty, he peed within a minute. I thought, "Man, this will be easy." Yeah, not so much. He doesn't ask to go potty, but when I ask him to sit on the potty, about 80% of the time, he will pee in it. Now, he still has wet diapers in between because I forget to put him on the potty regularly. But at least he is actually peeing in the potty. When Cameron has his time off for Christmas, we are going to work on it as a team. We have training pants ready for him. I'm hoping when he feels himself wet, he will understand that sitting on the potty is something he needs to do. If we fail completely, no big deal. We won't know if we don't try.
Here are some pictures of our big boy. He doesn't take pictures when asked so this is all we were able to get tonight.
