Summer has flown by. Today is my last 'weekday' with Natalya before she goes off to day care at La Petite. We've spent the day playing and driving Milena to a playdate with Evelyn. 30 minutes is a long way out to her subdivision. Naps in the car were not long enough though.
New words from Natalya? Poo poo and the question "Where papa go?" "I want chu" "I want mok" "I want cup" and, yes, "I wanna fly."
Alexander didn't want me to leave his room last night because he was afraid of monsters. Candy didn't really get him going on the potty, but he seems to like putting stickers on a chart quite a bit. We're moving in the right direction, even though my consistency could be improved. I discovered recently too that Alexander does like when I, the potty, talk to him and ask him for a drink of his really delicious lemonade. His resistance diminshes quickly as he peers into the pot and says "Alright, I will give you some tee tee lemonade." Go figure. Hopefully, his new teachers can really help him master the task. He's wearing real underwear now, though, despite mishaps. We're not turning back.
Milena is ready for kindergarten. Not altogether sure what she'll be wearing. She does not like anything sticking in her underwear these days. No pants? She's still sensitive and cried a lot 2 nights ago because she missed papa when he went to Mississippi. She enjoyed sleeping in bed with me, Nati, and Alexander, though.
