And today I went with Nicholas and Celia to the Consignment Shoppe. I have a credit there from bringing leftover clothes from our rummage sale. So I picked up some paint and finger paint paper and bought it with some credit.
So we came home and they had finger painting time. They seemed to like it. Nicholas tasted the red and blue paint before he painted with it. He likes to taste things (p.s. when we had tacos last night he ate a little portion of raw onions and kept asking for more).
Celia kept quite clean really for finger paint, but Nicholas was a mess. . . .
Celia really did have fun. lol Don't let the picture fool you!
Also tonight we stripped them naked before bath time. I was finishing cleaning up the kitchen from dinner and Nicholas and Celia were giggling and chasing each other around the house (its so cute when they do that). Nicholas came up to me and kind of grabbed the business end and was saying jibberish. I said "Do you need the potty? The potty is by Daddy". He walked away and about 15 seconds later I started walking to the bathroom to get the bath going. I walk in and Nicholas is standing by the toilet saying "uh oh! uh oh!" I could tell he was trying to poop so I put him on the toilet and he pooped right in the potty! He was so happy with himself too. We had to show Daddy and call Grandma and tell her the good news. All evening when I would say "Wow Nicholas. You went poo poo in the potty" he would smile and nod so proudly.
During naked time this last week he peed one time in their bedroom on the floor and he came out and said "uh oh" and showed me where the pee pee was. So, who knows? Maybe he will have some potty training signs sometime sooner than I think? I think it was amazing that he came to me to say he had to poop (but I didn't understand him - or believe him) and he went to the toilet and knew he was going to go. Pretty cool I think. I spared you a picture. I thought about it though. ha ha

Shoot! I was hoping to see poopy in the potty!! Sounds like he might be on his way, or at least showing some interest! Looks like you guys had a fun day today too!!
ReplyDeleteCool sand and finger painting! We did some coloring today with markers and made a mess. And what great news about N going #2 in the toilet! Unlike Ashley though, I'm glad you spared us the photo. *L*
ReplyDeleteWow, he sounds like he might be getting ready to be potty trained! Which is cool because most people say girls are easier. That is really amazing, my two wouldn't even care if they peed on the floor (I don't think). Cute art pieces, they really went to town! You are a brave mama for painting right on the table and not strapped in - lol. I love the purple sand!
ReplyDeleteFinger paints! You are so brave:)
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have those two potty trained SO fast!
It is so neat to see the differences in them with the finger paint-- Nicholas has it all over his face, but meticulous Celia is pretty clean. I need to try this w/ L&D. Did you find that the paint stained?
ReplyDeleteLove the purple sand and the potty stuff is so awesome!! ;)
I thought for sure we'd have a poop picture! Finger painting pictures would go very well in my office (by the way!)
ReplyDeleteThey look just like Summer and Chase when they eat! Summer doesn't even need to be wiped after, usually. Chase needs to be hosed down. Must be a boy/girl thing!! *lol That's super cheap on the colored sand! Our bags were $6.99 at the beginning of the summer!!
