Summertime is almost over. Josh loves water play... Grandma has a little pool and water/sand table that he spends lots of time with.
He is now hitting those "terrible twos". NO is a common word, and the throwing of the fit when he doesn't get his way.. we LOVE that. But, he is starting to learn that it still doesn't get him what he wants. I am easy for some things, but I don't want a nasty spoiled child.
Overall though, he is a pretty happy child. LOVES his grandpa and brother more than anyone else. Likes Sprout TV and will ask for it even when he is half asleep.
He still has a bottle at nap and bedtime and will try to get it at other times, but we try to hold fast to that rule. Of course when it's hot as heck and he is not drinking a lot from the cup we sometimes give in and let him have it in a bottle because we know that he will drink more that way. I know that there are some that say he should be off it by now... and to them I say... phooey! He will give it up sometime.
Potty training has been talked about but I really don't feel that he is ready yet. Maybe before he turns 3.. maybe not. Others sometimes forget that he is still a few months behind. Now that he is doing so well, they stop thinking about the delay, but we know it's still there.
He is talking up a storm and I thought he was beyond his age, but then I see some that are around his age that are talking so much more or better and I realize too that he is still behind a bit. BUT he has come such a long way since his birth that we are proud of every little thing, every milestone. Who would have thought a few years ago that he would be where he is today.
I think the only issue we really have is that he has to have Miralax nightly. Otherwise he has really painful BM's. I think that's a small one compared to others. He eats pretty well but he is definitely a carb lover. Loves his pasta... mac and cheese, ravioli, you name it if it's pasta he will eat it. The rest depends on his mood. And bananas. We of course have to limit those as we have enough issues with constipation!
So there you have it. Our latest update. I will TRY to be a bit better. I have been really slacking lately. Until then....

Josh I wish we were closer so you and Jay could play in the water together. I think Mom should take a video when she can so we can see you talking away. *heart* So proud of you little man. Dianna it's easy for others to forget about the delay when things start to progress but like you said we know it's there. Don't you worry about it he's doing just fine. I love reading about him!!!
Syd loves her carbs too! I'm sure that kid would only eat white food 24/7 if I let her.
I know how you feel about the delay, Dianna! People want you to move on and get over when they hit too but we see the difference and we can't ignore it. Syd still has her bottles and I'm not even worrying about it anymore. She won't drink as much from a cup as she will the bottle. I'm so glad we had that talk when I was considering doing it before.
I agree with Ana...we need some video! :D
He is doing wonderful! And youre right, who would have known a few years ago, just how well he is doing. God love him.
Dont know how that got messed up...typo..sorry
