First:  My 19 mth old boy is potty training himself!!!!  Lately he has been pulling at his diaper when he needs to go.   Usually he just gets a little in but enjoys sitting on his little potty.  Well this morning, he pulled at his diaper and I put him on.  And he filled the potty with pee!  GOOD BOY! 

Later, we were at a friends house on a play date and he did it again.  I put him on the big potty and he peed and pooped!  He started clapping and was so proud of himself.  My big boy! 

Wouldn't it be great if he was out of diapers by the time the new baby gets here?

Second:  When we were at the playdate, my friend was saying how her daughter was having trouble getting some of her colors.  She and Sam are 2 weeks apart.  Sam decides she is going to help her friend and takes a baby book on colors.

"E, what color is this?" Sam asked pointing to two blue objects.

E said nothing.

"It is blue or azule," Sam explained.  "Azule is spanish for blue."

"E, what color is this?" Sam asked pointing to two red objects.

E said nothing.

"It is red or rojo," Sam explained.  "Rojo is spanish for red."

"E, what color is this?" Sam asked pointing to two green objects.

E said nothing.

"It is green or verde," Sam explained.  "Verde is spanish for green."
I was speechless.  I mean, I work with Sam on lots of things, but there are so many times I am not sure what she is retaining and what goes by the way side.  Then she comes out with stuff like this and I am reminded what a little sponge their little brains are. 

My clever girl!
