Acting like a two year old (in a good way!!!)

Today, Jonah was virtually potty trained. He came home from school early, after lunch (since I brought in cupcakes to celebrate). He immediately said that he wanted to go poop on the potty, and he did just that. Then, the rest of the day, he asked to use the potty every time he went pee. His diaper stayed dry all day!!!

He decided at bedtime that he wanted to read ME the stories, so he picked the books, and one by one went page by page, repeating almost verbatim what he had heard us read. He read the "Are you My Mother" book and at the end said, "I know who you are, you are my mommy and I love you very much!" (this is how it ends), and then turned to me and said the same thing.

Singing!

Jonah has been singing A LOT lately!
He often takes out his play guitar and sings while strumming. So far, we've heard all these songs in their entirety:
-Rainbow Connection
-Somewhere over the Rainbow
- I've been working on the Railroad
- Ba Ba Black Sheep
-Alphabet Song

He also tries his best to get the words from all the different songs he hears on the stereo/CDs. It's hysterical to watch!

Funny things

-We were at Jill's the other day and Jonah looked at their red pillows in the living room and said, "We have pillows like this at home".

- Now when Jonah hears a quiet song, he says, "This is a sleepy song".

- Tonight at the dinner table, Jonah looked surprisingly at his fingers and said, "You have a toenail on your finger!"

 

Poopy on the Potty (or "the brown one")

Last night while in the bathtub, Jonah says, "there's a tube in your tushy". I asked if he had to poop and he said yes so I put him on the potty and he sat and made on there! He was all excited to flush it down the big toilet afterward.
Tonight, as I was changing his diaper before bedtime, he said he wanted to go poopy again on the potty so I took him on it. He made a pee but not a poop. He got off the toilet and looked inside. He said, "Where's the brown one?" I explained to him that only pee pee came out and it's yellow, not brown. He seemed surprised. He kept saying that there was a whole in his penis. I explained it's where the pee comes out. Fascinated.

The Alphabet Song

Jonah surprised me yesterday after returning home from "school". We were just playing in his room and out of nowhere he starts singing the entire alphabet song- from A to "now I know my ABCs..." I couldn't believe it! The best was his reaction to how excited I got. He just kept giggling. Have to catch it on tape now!

More Funny Jonah-isms

Jonah helped me make a wreath tonight. I went to the store and got the supplies and then came home with them. He looked at the bag and said, "A present?" I showed him what it was and how he could help me make it. He just kept exclaiming, "It is beautiful!" He got so excited being able to help place the leaves and berries into the wreath. "Jonah is helping Mommy" he'd say.

When I put him down to bed tonight, I said, "Bed time for Bonzo!" Jonah replied, "I love you, Bonzo!"

The Daddy Report: yesterday we went to visit Perrin, Jack, and Juliet. Jonah got to play with all new toys. He found a toy that consists of a spiral tube with a funnel at the top. He hauled the toy over to me and said "Where's the ball for this?"

They have a Kettler tricycle, just like ours. He pointed to it and said "they have that".

At lunch today (and previously), he said, "This tastes good, it's delicious!"
