All Things Supercinski

Our little guy has had a lot of changes in his world lately ever since “our baby came out”. Josiah loves Annalise, and it is so sweet to watch him dote on her. He loves to talk with her, bring her toys, and read to her. He also loves it that she needs to be fed and put down for naps, because he gets to watch a movie/PBS while I am occupied. I would say that he has adjusted well, but it’s been rough at times for our sensitive little guy. This picture is when he wanted to be “wrapped up” in Annalise’s swaddling blanket:

He also started learning how to use the potty a few weeks ago. I finally bit the bullet and did it since he kept telling me when he was going pee-pee. (I will continue to use our potty terms, so bear with me.) I have been dreading this task since I was in college and worked in the two-year-old class at a daycare.

We stayed home for five whole days the first week, and things have definitely clicked since then. He hasn’t had an accident in a whole week. Of course, he is still in a diaper during naptime and bedtime, and continues to make his poo-poos in his diaper during those times, but he is making progress. He actually started telling me when he needs to go “make pee-pees” and does a great job of going. His rewards have been homemade lollipops and stickers, and the occasional bowl of ice cream after dinner. I am so proud of him!

He shocked us Saturday morning by appearing in our bedroom at 6 a.m. We had not moved him out of his crib yet, and he managed to scale the side and climb out. He has successfully slept in the “big brother bed” ever since, though not without some fun learning times, but that’s another post. And now Annalise has a bed of her own, too!

Otherwise, he is doing great. He still enjoys reading books, playing at the park, lining up cars, blocks, and other random objects, and playing. He is a lot of fun and pretty hilarious most of the time. He also loves to sing and is often singing songs while he plays. I love this about him, and it is even more fun now that he can actually sing the words to song. So here is a compilation of some of his favorite tunes–several of the other songs he sang and bits of these are edited out since he didn’t have pants on during potty learning weeks (also why we have so few pictures in this post), but you get the idea.
