We have started potty training. I wasn’t ready at all, but Elijah started showing a lot of interest in it. He can successfully do both things where going to the potty is concerned and is doing very well over-all. I wanted to keep this transition laid back and pressure free and that seems to have been just what Elijah needed. He is already using the adult toliet and his pull-ups are staying almost dry during the day. So, we will be saying farewell to the pull-ups after our trip (we are driving) to Oklahoma at the end of this month. Elijah has totally amazed us with this process and we are both very grateful for that. :) We still have a way to go but are are the right track.
Talking on the phone now has become something he enjoys doing. He actually will/can carry on an understandable conversation when he talks to someone. This comes in very handy when Byron is traveling.
Byron and I have always been surprised by Elijah’s vocabulary, but in the last couple of weeks, it has taken off. In fact, his teacher called this week to tell us that she is blown away by how his vocabulary has expanded lately. We love calls like that!
He has always been somewhat independent when it comes to doing things but it has now turned to being very independent when he does EVERYTHING! Which is good and bad, it just depends on the situation.
Elijah now enjoys singing all by himself. Some of his favorite songs to sing are “Jesus Loves Me”, “You are My Sunshine”, and “Twinkle, Twinkle.”
We love you Elijah and are so proud of you!!
