Big Boy Underpants!!!

Big update from the Todd house is that Jeremiah is spending more of his days in big boy underpants than not! His drawer now includes a collection of Disney movie characters, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Handy Manny underoos!! We've been making minor progress on all of this for a while but he seems to have gotten it. We do still have accidents but it feels like we're getting there!!

This past weekend we partook of some local fun. On Saturday, Jeremiah helped me make bread with zuchinni we bought at the local farmers market. He's a pretty good kitchen helper. Late that afternoon we all enjoy taking a dip at the local pool. It has a small slide that Jeremiah loved.

On Sunday, we met our friends Jane and Eric for an informal picnic at park about 45 minutes from here, a middle point for us. Jeremiah played on the slide and kicked his ball around.

Other recent highlights include:

- Jeremiah inquiring why his name has so many letters! However, he knows them all and can put them in order on our fridge, thanks for an extra "e" made by Krista.

- We've been having some issues with non-sense words and name calling. We're predicting that this may be something he picked up at daycare, but we're working to remind him that we don't talk nonsense and we certainly don't call names, even when the name is a nonsense word.

- Jeremiah informed us that firetrucks throw candy, during a discussion of what they are for. We clarified that they indeed do but they also are primarily used for putting out fires!

- He's been enjoying playing with his farm toys more often, making regular trips between rooms to get grain.
