Colin, has also reached a HUGE milestone. He is COMPLETELY potty trained! We've been working on it, stickers, treats, candy, prizes.... and he's made huge growth since Hawaii. But I would say, that last week was the first week he was able to initiate pottying for several consecutive days. Oh, the things that get a mom excited - potty training is a prison of sorts. You're trapped in your own home, or when you do have to go to public places, it's a darting in and out practice. I called it efficiency, but really it was fear of the pee.
Another huge development Colin's made, is he started reading. And no, not by memory. He's able to read all c-v-c words, and I really don't know where this skill came from, since I don't read with him and push him to read like a Mensa boy... but hey, I don't mind this sudden brilliance. Is there a down side to this? Yes. He was able to decipher Joe and me talking in 'code' and sounded out 'z-o-o' when Joe and I were tossing the idea around.
Such big moments, and it may not be graduating, or proms, or weddings, but they are certainly on their way to growing up quick! Not babies anymore... that's for sure.
