Jonathan's potty training has been going amazingly well. He used to make funny noises or point to his tushy when he had to go, but now he says "Mamma, pee pee!" or "Daddy, Kahki!" to go. Also, he used to tell us that he needs to pee pee after some had already leaked out and he just finished the job in the bathroom. Now he tells us before he does anything and even waits for us at the toilet if we are busy. I am so grateful that I only have one set of diapers to change now... HOWEVER... As enamoured as Sylvie is with Jonathan, he seems to be jealous of her... or maybe he feels neglected and is in need of more attention. Sylvie puts everything in her mouth and lately, Jonathan's been taking Sylvie's blocks/toys/books and putting it in his mouth too so they are both sitting there with something in their mouths. And Sylvie is working on her "pincer" grasp and is trying to feed herself, but occassionally drops her food on the floor. So, during breakfast this morning, when Sylvie dropped her food, Yoni threw his toast on the floor. It's been a challenge telling him that it's ok for Sylvie to do it because she is "just a baby", but I don't think he gets it, or maybe is starting to resent it...so I've been telling Sylvie that "it's not ok to throw food on the floor". I was worried that he would want to start wearing diapers again too, but the potty issue has only been improving, to my relief. Here's a video of Sylvie feeding herself (it takes both hands) and of Yoni wearing Sylvie's bib (his preferred bib now, of course). Boy are they loud eaters!
