I’m a bit behind in posting, but here’s Monday’s activities with “Uncle Dude” (a.k.a. Timothy.
Tim, Lance and I rode our bikes to meet Brian at the Boy Scout museum.
Lance wants to go camping.
We raced pinewood derby cars with Lance at the end to tell us who won. The cars were going so fast that it scared him so Daddy sat with him.
We let Lance try out a car for himself.
Then we rode stationary bikes to make our go carts race on the x-box game. Lance decided that dune buggies are better.
And finally there’s the laser rifle range. All the guys turned out to be crack shots – though some of the moving targets scared Lance. However, we all ended up having a great time.
He loves to feed himself cheerios, splash in the bath, try out everything within reach, watch food cooking and play with Daddy. He flirts with anyone who smiles at him and likes to hold on to something and stand up. He’s a busy little boy, examining things and experimenting with sounds, textures and taste. He goes to bed without complaining and usually wakes up and graces his “rescuer” with a big smile.
Here’s a sample of his playtime – he makes all kinds of noises and can be pretty loud, just for the fun of hearing himself.
We sure do have a lot of fun with this little guy. Thank you God for bringing him into our lives – what a blessing!
Well folks, it’s working – Lance pooped in the potty today!
I know, I know, not the most pleasant subject for a blog post, but some have been curious if infant potty training really works. I heard about the method when he was six months old and tried it out. Now, at 7 1/2 months he is well on his way to being a “big boy”! We just got the potty seat this week specifically for this type of accomplishment (I used to sit him backwards on the seat).
