Sean woke up this morning and for some reason thought that Kenny was going to cut the grass (I know he wants to ride the "tractor"). I told him that Daddy was working, then he said, "are you ready to play with me" and I laughed because my eyes were barely open and I hadn't had my coffee, yet. He knows already that I love coffee, so he said, "when you finish" and kept checking my coffee mug to see if I was done. We played with his toys and then we made a get well card for his cousin Megan. I did the writing and Sean cut out paper and glued them, put stickers on it and drew a circle. We dropped this off in Megan's mailbox.
We came home and put the big boy underwear on and then we started to make cookies. I let Sean turn on the mixer and then, use the cookie cutter. He had the most fun eating the dough. We're making baseball cookies so that I can practice the icing. I want to bring cookies for his last t-ball game. While we were doing this, I heard, "mommy, I'm peeing". We ran to the potty, but it was too late. I told him that if he uses the potty that Handy Manny will call him. He smiled and then told me matter of factly that "Handy Manny is busy in his repair shop". I just stood there mystified...he is so clever!! I told him that Manny would make time to call him. We're having one of Kenny's friends call as Handy Manny.
After his nap, we went outside to play in the sprinkler. He had so much fun!! He is liking the water better this summer. We had a few more accidents and no luck on the potty. I'm beginning to think he is too clever for this! He gave me the third degree about Handy Manny calling him. Sean: where are the tools? Me: they'll be napping when Manny calls you. Sean: where's Mrs. Portillo? (character from the show) Me: she's at her bakery. Sean: I want to go to the repair shop. Me: it's too far away for us to go, baby.
I think that he is so independent that he will potty when he is ready and when it's own his terms.
