Weekly Glance...

Weekly Glance (Monday, September 29th - October 5th, 2008)

• Continued to wake up early but will lay back down & fall asleep if Daddy goes in and lays on the floor - he won't do it if Mommy tries
• This week was hit or miss if he would go to bed right away or need his back rubbed
• Some meals he wouldn't want to have anything to do with eating, other meals he couldn't get enough
• Had a good week at school
• Played outside and on Wednesday played in puddles and got his pants soaked!
• Hung out with Daddy Tuesday night as Mommy was at her 3rd tour stop - went down for bed without a peep

• Loves to color
• Loves to play with his flash cards
• Likes to practice swimming during bath time
• Has a bit of a diaper rash again
• A new routine Alexander is starting - after work/school, Alexander will go into the bathroom and beg until we come in. He wants his tooth brush and he wants us to brush our teeth too. So we sit on the floor and we brush our teeth and then we show him how to clean off his brush. Hey - if it gets him to brush his teeth every day, I'll do it
• New words this week: Happy, Me, Ball
• New sounds/actions: Makes a helicopter sound/hand movement as well as a fire truck (siren) noise/hand movement; also puts his hand up to his nose for an elephant
• Saturday was family day where we went shopping & out to lunch
• Ate bread w/oil, pizza but more importantly broccoli and liked it
• He was in a fairly good mood despite only an hour nap on Saturday
• First Trip to the Aquarium - loved the penquins & the turtle
