Meet Priscilla the Pug


Xavi did and fell in love...not sure why? Oh, but she's so sweet. Aunt Tsubasa came through with a few pics of the second meeting. Anyway, he wanted to walk the dog and when he did his smile was huge. When we had to leave he cried real tears...cause he CAN fake it when he wants to. Here are the happy moments.

Other news:

Four new teeth are keeping us up at night. Only occasionally, but it's hard when we've slowly gotten used to sleeping at night! This time it's the cuspids or #3s. A little late than the norm, but considering how late the others have been, not surprising. To recap, he has all #s 1, 2, and 4s.

Potty training feels like it's going nowhere, fast. With all I've heard about boys being slower than girls, it makes me want to give up. Recently, I've heard a few mothers say their boys were potty trained by 2.5 though AND we've had some clues that Xavi understands how it's done, so we'll keep trying. One morning he said to his dad, "pee pee now" but when he got close to the bathroom ran away scared and peed in the diaper a few minutes later. Same thing with # 2, went in the bathroom on his own and put his seat on the toilet and said "mami, caca" but ran away scared and did his business behind his rocking chair. Another day he threw me out of the bathroom (but I peeked in, of course), he leaned on the toilet and yelled "PEE PEE", then said "bye, pee pee" and threw tp in the toilet. When I checked his (VERY recently changed) diaper it was wet. We'll take it slow, won't push him if he doesn't want to but keep encouraging him to use the bathroom.

He has a lot of new words and I can't remember any right now - though "NOW" stands out as a more recent development. He communicates very well and is less whiny when he wants something. He usually just asks for it. It helps that he usually wants the same things...milk, pacifier, water, rice, chicken, eggs, blueberries. He's totally a toddler and set in his ways and foods. At least he hasn't decided to only eat beige food or something like that, not yet anyway.

Oh and he does a funky dance when he's happy or wants to impress the ladies, usually 3 and up.

I recommend a mini schnauzer. That's what I'm going to get...I think. As long as it control it's pooping and peeing better than xman.

and what's his fascination with blueberries? weird.
