Sunday Stories

In potty news, I got a small potty seat that goes on top of the big toilet. I really like it, and mommy likes that I can't get up and down so easy - I was really starting to get into the naked roaming with the other potty. I love sitting on the potty, and ask to do it often. We haven't had another poop miracle (due to circumstances beyond my control), but Mommy's hoping it won't be long.

Today was my first day in the toddler class at church. I rocked it out. Mommy's evaluation is that I'm ready to be in there, but I'm not ready to be alone in there. I'm the youngest kid, and due to my unfettered play at home, I need a little guidance as to how do things at certain times. It is genius, pure genius, that Mrs. Liles gives us our snack during lesson time. I was very quiet during the lesson :)

Today in church, I also learned to play "ring around the rosie" (yes, nothing like a good rhyme about the bubonic plague to get me interested). I LOVED it. especially the falling down part, which I caught onto right away. Tonight, I played with Mommy and Daddy. They weren't so thrilled - 3 people doesn't make a good ring around the rosie circle, particularly when 2 of the people are way taller. They tried other ways, but I wasn't having any of it - they had to be standing and holding hands. Plus, Mommy's tired and uncoordinated. Hmph. But we had a good time. I even started "singing" along, and saying something close to pocket. (which I already knew) Mommy would like to point out my musical genius that I knew when to take pauses in the song, etc...

The other thing I learned today (other than sharing is NOT so much fun, especially with 3 yr old boys) was the song "I'm in the Lord's Army". It's great - you get to march and do hand motions and all sorts of active things. Again, I relished this. Mommy did not. She was very tired by the end of the 1st service... I was revved and ready to go.

Mommy taught me the itsy bitsy spider. It's okay, but I prefer crooning with the ABC's.

On the way home from church, we had to wait for the train. I said "choo choo" very distinctly, and Mommy threw a big party in the car for me. She figures encouragement can't hurt when it comes to learning to communicate.

My last bit of news for now is that I'm finally cutting a tooth - it's been threatening for awhile, but Mommy can actually see it now. Good times... well, not really, but the end result will be good times (that would be the having of the teeth)
