georgie has started to talk to us. my favorite story so far might just be from yesterday. the kids and i were driving home from shopping and george was crying "all done! all done! all done!" the whole way home. i accused jason of teaching him to do that whenever we were shopping.
his favorite and clearest words are:
jack
dog
rough
dada
mwah (kisses)
hi (with his hand phone held up to his ear)
hello
bye bye (with both hands waving)
he also knows:
car
cup
more
milk
all done
mama
emma
night night
up
please
thank you
cat
he loves to play with emma. especially blocks. but a close second would be to pull all the books off the shelf (like he is doing right now.)

night training
during family reunion emma woke up one morning with her first ever dry pull up. she had two or three in the month since then, but nothing regularly. i decided its time to try out some night training.
this week i have been waking her up before we go to bed (usually around 10 or 1030) to potty then putting her back in bed. she doesnt actually wake up, i just hold her up and she acts like a little puddle of a girl. she had one dry night. so the last two days i decided to add a second night time potty break- 2 am, and last night 4am. the 2 am morning was the first all night in panties, and she peed as soon as she woke up in the morning. last night i opted for 4 because it was after 11 when i woke her to potty the first time.
it worked out pretty perfect because she came to our room at 345 because she wanted to sleep with her daddy (aw!) so i was already awake to take her to the potty. she came in again at 5 and went again, and has stayed dry all morning! she was quite excited to be rewarded with hot chocolate at breakfast for staying dry all night long, and i am looking forward to trying again tonight! (fyi, pull ups are about 35 cents a piece. we cut our use in half because she doesnt nap anymore, and the few days she does, she stays in panties. but thats still 10$ a month on pull ups that i dont have to spend anymore!)

getting dressed
i love watching emma choose her clothes and get herself dressed in the morning. she chooses panties for the pictures on them (today they are flowers, and pink) and a top and bottom based on weather or not they "are a match". she turns the shirt around several times, then pulls it on her head, pulling pulling to get it over her bump of a nose. them one arm goes in and the other goes in. same routine with her bottoms, today a skirt with sewn in shorts. several turns to get the front in the front and the back in the back, then one leg in, and then the other, and she stands up knees together to pull it up. some days there is a snap or a button that i need to do for her, but because it is summer, that doesnt happen much lately.
i love watching her little brain figure out all the different movements her body needs to make to get into her clothes the right way. i love that she takes after her daddy and always put her clothes on in the same order every time: panties, top, bottom.
its like watching moon plants bloom, watching her learn.
