Since we have been home from the beach, Jackson has experienced a few new things. The first big thing was converting his crib to a toddler bed. He loved getting in and out of the bunk bed Joey slept in at the beach and Joey was about the same age when we moved him. Jack did great the first week, but we have taken a few steps back this week. He gets out and comes to the door crying unless we rock/sing him to sleep. I battle this at nap time as well. Not to mention, the 6 am wake up call where I have to sleep on the floor for him to go back to sleep. Hopefully, he will snap out of it soon!
The next day, Jack made his first visit to the dentist. He cried when the nurses took him back and screamed while they examined him, but he didn't realize that he was actually helping Dr. Marks look at his teeth while he had his mouth wide open. He got a great hygiene score and his teeth looked great!
While we were at the beach, Jack figured out that he could pee outside like his big brother. So, anytime the swim diaper came off, he went right for the rocks or the edge of the deck. But, he wouldn't go on the potty. That has all changed. Last week, after bath time, he was running around without a stitch of clothing. We normally get a diaper on him first thing otherwise he will pee where ever he feels like it. Joey distracted me and I realized I didn't hear Jack. I walk into the bathroom and he is holding the toilet seat up with one hand and peeing on the toilet. I scared him when I walked in and he stopped. I put him on the Elmo seat and he finished his business! He was SO proud of himself. Since then, Jack has been going on the potty every time we put him on!
