You met your baby brother today at the hospital. You were scared to be there since you hate hospitals. You saw him but didn’t know what to do. You gave him a kiss but wasn’t really paying him much attention. We’ll see how you will interact with him when we go home.

Going back to bed
About a week ago, I had a long talk with you when you came to our bed in the middle of the night. Normally we are sleepy and gave up long ago putting you back in your bed, cuz you would cry bloody murder. But after that talk, the next 2 nights you went back to your bed without any fuss. Then there was 2-3 nights when you wouldn’t go back. Then tonight, you went back. Slow change?

Independent
You go to the bathroom by yourself 100% (for pee). You put most of your shoes on without help (except strappy sandals). You can brush your teeth alone. You want to help us cook, set the table, put groceries away, do the laundry and load the dishwasher. You eat by yourself (has been doing that for years).

Cough Fix, Again
So, you’ve been coughing almost since we got back from Florida.
I’d say the peak was a couple days ago. Hopefully it is going down.We’re trying Nasanex based on the ENT’s (Zack?) suggestion.
You had it Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday so far. Should take at least a week. -
Completely potty trained
You decided not to wear pull ups anymore, put your underwear on and had no accidents even going to the pool. You asked to get out of the pool and pee 3 times, you were totally in control. We consider you now officially potty trained.

I spy
I guess you learned the game ‘I spy’ at school. While changing your underwear (that you pooped in at McD) you said ‘I spy with my little eye, something yellow’. It was my shirt. Then you said ‘I spy with my little eye, something green’. It was the ceiling.
