another phrase

A new phrase Alex has been using, "kinda like me"

37 Week Apt

On Tuesday I was 1 centimeter dilated and 50% effaced. Dr. Kirollos doesn't think I will make it to my due date. He did a quick ultrasound and baby girl is 6 lbs. 2 oz. Fluid levels are on the low end of normal but he wasn't concerned.

Final preparations are under way for the arrival of baby girl.

Potty Training

The potty train is back on track with help from Miss Terrie! We started potty training again last Monday but this time we had success. Once Alex figured out which muscles to use to release the pee he has been doing very good at peeing in the toilet. He doesn't initiate taking himself to the bathroom but when reminded he will go.

We are still working on pooping.

Yay for not having to buy diapers for a few weeks!

Papa's nose

An email from Shirley

Don was just leaning into the car to get Alex out of his car seat, and Alex said, "What have you got there, Papa?". Then without missing a beat, pointed to his nose and said, "A big nose?" We all, me in particular burst out laughing. 

Dialogue

Dialogue Alex had while playing with one of his cars today.
