Kodie's Birthday

After work, I have to run to the library to grab some of the dvds that I requested yesterday. We have movies at home, so we had no problem last night having something to watch. He seemed mostly disinterested in television though. Probably because he isn’t used to not watching his regular shows. Soon enough though, we’ll have dvds of his shows  and he will be none the wiser! I rented a few movies for myself for the weekend, and I plan on checking out a book for myself too.

We’re having cake and ice cream tonight for Kodie’s birthday. She’ll be having doggy ice cream though. I can’t believe she’s 4! It’s insane that I’ve had her for almost 4 years. I can’t even remember what life was like without her. Emerson loves her so much too.  I was always so worried about that when I was pregnant, but it’s fine. My sister and nephew are going to come over to help celebrate too. She’ll be so excited. She loves when we have visitors.

Emerson had an OT and Speech therapy session today. The OT sent me a really great report back. I’m waiting for an update from the speech therapist. The OT said that the kids in his room were acting up a lot today, but Em handled it very well. They asked what I wanted them to work on. I like that they ask for my input. I asked them to work on some better directives. Words like stop, go, slow down, etc. I also explained that he is starting soccer in a few weeks, so that’ll probably aide in him taking direction. I think preparing him for that beforehand will be a nice additive though. We’ll see how that goes.

Potty training went well yesterday. He peed all day on the potty at daycare. He did pee his pants once on the playground, and when he was on the potty peeing, he peed on his teacher’s shoe. Whoops! He hasn’t quite got the hang of keeping it inside of the toilet yet. I know he’ll get there. He pooped his pants though. I didn’t even care. I was just glad to hear that he pooped. He peed twice for me at home last night. I also bought more underwear, so I can hopefully do laundry less than I am now. We can easily blow through 3 pair a day! He’s doing so well though and I’m so proud of him. I know we have a long road ahead of us, but I think consistency is key here. The daycare staff is doing a great job during the day, and I’m handling it at night. I just need to make sure we follow through perfectly over the weekend. It becomes difficult when we’re out and about. I’ll just have constantly ask him if he has to pee when we’re out. I haven’t bought diapers yet. I hope I only have to buy one pack and that’s it. I do still put one on him at night and then in the morning for his morning poop, but that’s it. Daycare is only using one a day as well, so we should be alright for a while. Not spending that money is great.

Alright, I am going to wrap this up. I have nothing new to report. I’m not that exciting. LOL

Have a super day!
