outside in THE LIVING ROOM!!!!

We're visiting Poppy & Nana right now & they have skylights in their roof. Yesterday Burley woke up from his nap & was cuddling with me on the couch. All of sudden he looked up & noticed the skylights & started shouting, "there's outside in THE LIVING ROOM!!! Mommy, Mommy, look, outside in THE LIVING ROOM! TREES IN THE LIVING ROOM! WHOA! MOMMY! WHOA!" We all thought it was hilarious! It was the cutest thing! Plus, I didn't even know he could say "living room" or knew what it was. =)

Burley's Going Potty!!!

Saturday I found an old potty & decided to clean it off & set it in the bathroom just for future use. Well, Burley went into the bathroom with me & asked to go potty! How crazy is that?!? He sat down & peed. On the spot. He woke up from his nap dry & went to the potty. He stayed dry all evening & kept telling me he had to pee pee. He only wore one diaper all day! WOOHOO!

Yesterday didn't go quite as smoothly b/c of church, but once we were home he used the potty again. He went right before bed last night & then as soon as he woke up this morning. I just hope this keeps going. I'm not actively trying to potty train him yet, I just take him in there when he asks & when I'm going. If this doesn't work out, I won't have hurt feelings because he's not really old enough to be trained anyways. But, if it does work out, WOOHOO! haha.

Burley's Vocabulary

Betsy and I found a list that she had made of all of the words that Hattie said when she was 18 months old. She only included words that she would randomly say on her own (not just repeating something once). It was really cute to read & remember when she was that age, so I decided to write down Burley's words.
It was harder than I thought! He says 92 words, 25 two, three & four word sentences (Who is it? Whatcha doin? Here you go! things like that), and sings 8 songs (The best ones are Twinkle, Twinkle & the ABC's). I basically followed him around with the paper & wrote down what he said. =) It'll be fun to look back on when he's speaking in full sentences and remember how little he was!

I'm bored... so I'm doing those dumb quizzes
