Interactions

Brayden is finally getting to the point where he is noticing other kids and wanting to interact with them. We took him to the bowling alley with us last Wednesday because Kelsey had to practice before Myrtle Beach. There was a little girl (almost three) a few lanes down who noticed Brayden and he also saw her. He went up to her to try to kiss her and she ran away crying. She eventually came back and warmed up to him and they chased each other back and forth for most of the rest of the night. The next day I took Brayden to Monkey Joe's to play for a little while and he really had fun in the low bounce house. There were two other kids in this one and one was probably about three and a half. He wanted the little boy to chase him, and he did. They ran around and around and around and fell down quite a bit. But when the little boy got close Brayden wanted to hit him, so I had to hop in a few times and tell him that wasn't ok. Last night we went up to the bakery to see how the prints looked hung on the wall and Brayden was playing with Austin. At one point he tried to give her a hug and their feet got tangled so they both ended up falling. Their heads hit the ground and they were both crying. Pretty pitiful. Then when it was time to go he gave her another hug and a kiss and it was the cutest thing!

Potty Time

About two weeks ago we bought a potty for Brayden and he was very excited to get it... until it was time to sit on it. The first time we put him on, he cried a little and seemed like he was scared, but we had Elmo so he watched that and calmed down and after about 15 minutes he finally peed. The next day we did the same thing and he sat there for 15 - 20 minutes and this time no pee. Same thing on day 3, so we've back off because he's just holding it until he gets off the potty and then pees. But he's still very excited to go to the bathroom and see his potty and watch the Elmo potty DVD so he's getting there - just not quite ready yet.
