History of the J Man

Chris only gets to see Jonah for a couple hours a day during the week because he leaves so early in the morning then we try and get Jonah to bed by 8:00.  So they concentrate on playing together on the weekends, especially ones like this one when I had a errands to run for a few hours. 

Here’s a video of what they were up to while I was gone.  Jonah calls these “houses” but I used to always call them forts.  This is exactly why we need a new house with a family room and a separate living room.  So he can use the family room couch cushions for this and not take up our living room. 

They obviously had a good time while I was gone.  In case you can’t tell exactly what Jonah is saying for his name it’s “Big Boy Jonah D….!”  We’ve gotten him to add his last name but that “Big Boy” part seems to be sticking.

On an unrelated note, he’s still doing a great job with potty training.  We haven’t had any accidents while he’s in his underpants.  He will go and pee in his potty on his own when he has to go.  We’ve even been out in pull-ups a few times and he’ll wait and use the bathroom there instead of going in his pull ups.  He still asks for a diaper when he has to go #2 but I’m not pushing that to change because I figure it will happen on it’s own.  He did get away with a diaper for longer while I was out on Sunday though by telling Daddy he still had “more poops.”  That works with Daddy but this morning he tried to pull it with me too and I put underwear on him and told him if he still had more he could do it in the potty.  So far so good.  We have Thomas undies for Hanukkah and Christmas too, just to keep the momentum going.
