Favorite thing #4...The candor of little children. We have been on the long of potty training a stubborn 2/almost 3 year old boy. There has been much progress, but two steps forward one step back. He gets ice cream when he poo's on the potty. This is a great incentive to him. Mostly, we don't have too much of a problem with peeing, he's just learning how to aim and I am a poor teacher. This weekend he went in to potty with his daddy and Ryan came out laughing. Ben said "Whoa daddy, you have a GIANT pee-pee!" Now I'm not THAT lucky, but in size comparison, Ben is right. Way to make daddy feel proud!
Favorite thing #5...For real, actual music. Maddie takes violin lessons. Not because we are cruel "this will be good for you someday" type parents, but because she begged us. She does very well, reading the music after a few short months and "wowing" her teacher every week. Last week, she played "Ode To Joy" with her teacher accompanying her on the piano. I almost cried. She has only been playing since May.
(I will make her play it and take a video, but she's not home right now! Also, a 1/8 size violin is not the best sounding instrument. Even her teacher sounds kinda crappy on it. We will move up to a 1/4 size soon, and I hope it stays in tune better! Some of those lessons are hard to sit though :) )
