Seth is another month older. What to report. Well, this month seems like it has gotten a lot smoother than last. Seth is sweeter to Logan and enjoys holding him, talking to him, getting toys out for him, and playing with him. Sometimes, he even shows his stories. He likes telling Logan how much he loves him. So sweet.
Also, potty training is big. Seth is doing pretty well. He is dry most days, though some days he has more trouble than others. He no longer wants to use little potty or even the insert that goes on the toilet. He has to be a big boy, just like us. Whenever he has an accident, he strips himself and puts on new underwear all by himself. I’m lucky if he even tells me. Or as often as not, he just runs around without anything on bottom. I think he was actually like that when the UPS guy came by this week. Whoops.
And Seth isn’t quite done with naps. He still takes one or two a week. But it is starting to affect his night time sleep, so I’m not sure. We’ll see.
Seth has started running around and running off everywhere. It’s like he’s little again. One minute he is with you and the next he is off. I can not keep up with him. He even ran across the street this month without me along and it scared me half to death. I’m going to have to keep a tighter leash on him (metaphorically, of course).
Seth is the most well-behaved kid in nursery, according to his teachers (or at least so Katsu says). He loves nursery and tells me when he sees nursery kids that they “go to his school”. He is very excited to go to Andrew’s preschool next year.
Seth is a little violent boy. He is always beating up on Andrew. Time outs have been pretty ineffective on him, and we have been focusing more on “cool down” times and natural consequences. But boy, that boys loves to throw and hit! Only to Andrew, though, thank heavens.
Seth has also been throwing some tantrums lately. The other day, I was near the Nature Center, so I drove him there, but he thought we were going to the Science Center and threw a HUGE fit. HUGE. HUGE! We ended up just leaving and he slept in the car. He also threw a huge fit today because he wouldn’t pick up, but I think he was just feeling kind of sick, too, and he ended up falling asleep on the couch without eating dinner.
The most likely way to see Seth – sitting at the bookshelf with a pile of books surrounding him, looking through picture books. He loves book.
Fun Things Seth Did This Month
- Another movie at the History Museum – This time it was Dinosaur. We tried to get the kids to look around the museum, too, but Seth just kept running away from us.
- Lots of days at the park – it has been a super mild winter, so we try to take advantage of every good day and walk over to the park in the double stroller.
- Celebrating Setsubun and throwing jelly beans at goblin Daddy. Seth thought this was fascinating and fun.
- Watching the Super Bowl with Daddy and eating leftover jelly beans. Seth loves to watch sports with Katsu and always asks if there is football or baseball or something on the TV.
- Voting with Mom.
- Watching a really awesome Anansi puppet show at the library. Seth loved sitting next to Andrew the whole time and watching the show and laughing his head off.
- Watching airplanes at the airport when we took Katsu there. Seth sure missed his dad while he was gone.
- Valentine’s Day – Katsu was gone, but we started the day with a box of chocolates each (Seth was SO excited for weeks before for the chocolate), we had heart-shaped sandwiches for lunch, and had fun looking through Andrew’s valentines.
- Magic House – poor Seth – his very favorite part is the giant slide that he goes down with Andrew. This time, the guy at the top asked for his age and Seth said 2.5 and he wasn’t allowed to go. He was crying the whole way down the stairs and was heartbroken. The poor boy. I think he had fun with the rest of the night, though.
- Jambalaya for Mardi Gras.
- Making cheese with Mom.
- Baby story time at the library. Seth is a little old, but he still enjoys it.
Funny Things Seth has Said:
Seth to Andrew: Do you love me? Am I your friend?
Andrew: Well, you're not my friend right now, but almost. You will be my friend this week. You will be my friend on Valentine's Day.
Seth: Well, do you love me a little?
Andrew: You will be my friend soon.
