The pee-pee excuse, building blocks, and sneaking watermelon.

Today Kai did not take his nap. He has gotten good at climbing out of his crib with the excuse of having to go "pee-pee" often. Yesterday, he earned the Thomas train friend "Percy" as he urinated 3 separate times in the potty while standing. Of course, he got it all over the place, but the majority was in the pot. So I couldn't help but reward him, which he was ecstatic to add Percy to his train collection.

I am certain he learned to pee standing from his favorite bathroom book (which makes "flushing" sounds when a button is depressed) and undoubtedly from watching daddy (well, certainly not from me!) Either way, I am impressed because I've been too busy to seriously potty train him, and Kai is doing a good job of teaching himself. And to add, he's been putting on his own diapers and pants.


Greg informed me that Kai also had a favorite spot to pee. I was like, huh? He had seen Kai for the second time now "water" the plants outdoors between the porch and the trampoline. Seems like we have a nature boy here taking after daddy!

...and he likes to freak me out when he points his penis at me and says " pee Mommy! pee pee Mommy!" as I fear getting rained on.


Caught in the act! Kai attempts to eat half a watermelon himself.

"UH!..."

Greg showed me these blocks given to Kai from Tigo class. He thinks that this indicates Kai is well organized, I'm thinking there may be another engineer in the family.

Not only potty training self but learned how to be a photographer!

April 12, Saturday

I've been too preoccupied to potty train Kai. However I've noticed that he has not only been stating that he peed or pooped after the fact, but he's been taking off his diapers and would then sit on the toilet.

Tonight, we were so proud of him! Initially it was a false alarm to sit himself on the potty. So I drew him a bath and he willingly got in (he asks for bubble baths every night also!), within minutes of being in the tub he insisted in getting on the potty. I thought he was playing around and to my surprise- sure enough there was a lot of pee in the pot! I complimented him and clapped my hands and his smile stretched from ear to ear. I called daddy to help reinforce his training. So here's a picture of Kai taking a close look of his results! haha.

After his bath, Kai refused to let me dress him. He must have ran around the house for at least a half hour butt-naked. In this picture, he is trying to persuade daddy to let him in his office.

You're probably wondering what the heck am I doing? Kai got hold of my camera and knew not just how to turn it on and snap pictures BUT he knew how to review the pictures taken also. Now that sorta freaks me out. He is only two and must be a fast learner or he has seen me with my camera a million time to be able to operate it from observation.

Oh and another thing today- I was cooking lunch when I heard the microwave turn on- I opened it to find a metal whisk in it! My gut reaction was to remove it, but in the process I burnt my hand. Kai ran off to his designated corner for his time-out session. What's next on his agenda? I'm not sure, but I am certain I will probably get hurt from it (joking).

What are you up to?
