Dylan’s pre-school was closed all week, so he got to spend his days with Auntie Heather and Taliana (M, T, W and F afternoons) and his cousins Jason and Tyler (Thursday)!! Tom came home early on Thursday, too, so that Cindy could leave before rush hour began….I think he had so much fun, it might be a little rocky dropping him off at school again…!
He got to splash around in Taliana’s pool, ride rides at the boardwalk, draw oodles, play doctor, etc. and, on Thursday, he fed ducks and scrambled around the playground with Jason and Tyler.
It’s been a busy and fun week (Taliana and Dylan also had a play date with Cora and Anela on Friday morning) but also a little bit of an exhausting one for all of us! Dylan napped for only 1 hour total all week, and by the end of the week, the fatigue was really beginning to catch up to him. In fact, he was tired enough even today to lay down with me on the couch and he is now peacefully napping!
He has been doing absolutely stellar with the potty…I’d say he’s pretty much completely potty trained now. It’s just a question of whether he’ll regress once the baby is born. I don’t know what kicked it off, but I have a feeling that Taliana’s new 2.5 year old foster sibling may have offered some motivation! We’ve been telling him he’s bigger and older than she is and he can teach her things that he can already do (it just so happens, his initial encounters with her coincided with Father’s Day weekend…). But regardless of what it was that kicked it off, we’re happy…and I think Dylan is also very, very proud of himself!
