Jed has been "bottomless" for the past week, practicing his use of the potty. He quickly alerts us, "pee pee is coming", so as to prompt us to direct him to his little toilet. The achievement of his potty-use is rewarded in increments of M&Ms, depending on quantity, style points, coloration, and sound affects. Actually, he gets 1 or two M&Ms, depending on the level of his plea.
Peter is now nearly walking, but he refuses to allow cameras to capture his new talent. But before his first ever step, he was climbing. Climbing our slide, then going down the slide on his stomach, climbing chair backs, climbing the stairs, and climbing on to table. His climbing does not cease.
A new summer evening tradition is forming after our supper. We take a "leisurely" 30min walk down and around the creek trail near our home. The primary goal is to get as much energy out of Jed as possible before story and bedtime arrive. Last week he pushed Peter in the stroller nearly the entire duration, while jogging. I think we're going to need a longer route soon.
