Anthony Hoffman

Anthony made peepee in the potty! It was amazing. He sat there for probably a full hour and then we heard the tinkling. He is currently wearing maroon underpants and is very happy. Yay!

Tonight in the bathtub we were playing with some letters, and I put up “C A T” and Anthony sounded it all out. He knows “cat” though so that wasn’t such a big deal. What was a big deal, though, was that I dropped the C and put up a B and he sounded it out – BAT. That’s not a word we’ve done before, so he genuinely sounded it out himself. Yay!

Last night at dinner Anthony asked for a crouton. This happens from time to time and we always say “you can have a crouton if you eat some salad.” This never works and we end up just giving him a crouton. But last night it DID work, and Anthony ate several pieces of lettuce. Mom and I were astounded. This is the first vegetable besides cucumbers and pickles that Anthony has eaten that hasn’t been baby food.

Anthony: “Daddy, what you doing?”

Daddy: “I’m working, buddy.”

Anthony: “You gotta work, get more money, buy more cookies?”

Daddy: “Yeah, pretty much.”
