Lately, Jonas (and Xander) are learning to restrain themselves from using “potty talk” at the table. We’ve been whittling it down to maybe one incidence a meal time (MUCH better than it was) after a visit to the Time Out Step for every infraction. Oh my goodness…the things that become the center of your energy and attention as a parent sometimes are so laughable. Anyway…Jonas has been the ring leader for pushing the boundaries with words like “Pooh Bear”, “Pookie” (like the little pig character in the Sandra Boynton books), and “P the Letter”. Little stinker.
In other news, he is totally into sight words and word families and LOVES and can read, with minimal assistance, the books in the Dick and Jane series. I’m so excited for him as he enters this next phase in his love of books!!!
Here are a few of his latest one-liners:
“I bet I will grow even taller than a skeletal system.”
“Mommy, the sun is close to Venus.”
“Mommy, I wonder how our Christmas tree decorations are doing under the house.”
