Pledge of Allegiance

Just in time for Independence Day, Nicholas has been practicing the Pledge of Allegiance. He basically knows the whole thing, but has not yet recited it from beginning to end in one stretch.

He can quickly and confidently count to 20 and continues to speak more clearly and with larger words.

Nicholas has started letting us know when he's wet so we can change him promptly, and has urinated into a cup while his feet are in the tub, but has not yet urinated in the toilet (though he keeps trying).

Almost time for Pee-Pee on the Potty?

Nicholas, last night for the first time, asked to do pee-pee on the potty on his way into the bath. He stood on the edge of the toilet and squeezed, but had no luck. Tonight, he was able to go (into a cup) only after he got his feet wet in the tub. He also tried sitting on the toilet to do #2.

We think he's going to be toilet trained soon.

Also, Nicholas has become very good at the ladders in the park and can now climb them all at a very fast rate. He's able to go up the ladders and down the slides almost as fast as we can!

His speech is also getting better all the time. His sentences and questions are getting longer and his responses more precise. Every day he amazes us with new responses and questions that we haven't taught him!
