Anthony is 4.

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Anthony is 4. He goes to swimming lessons. He plays Super Mario Bros. Wii. He got lots of trucks and new firefighter boots for his birthday. Nerf gun, acoustic guitar (ROCK GUITAR), firefighter raincoat… some other stuff. The party was nice. We had big sandwiches and lots of family came. It was a nice time. Anthony has not worn a diaper in months. What a relief. The weather is getting warmer so maybe we will go ride bikes again. He enjoys playing Wii Fit, which tells him he is “obese,” which he seems to love, because he runs around saying “obese” all the time. He is great and very funny.

Anthony zips his own coat!

Very proud!

Anthony can button his own pants!

Well, not really button, but those slidey-clasp type things. He was very proud of himself!

Anthony uses the potty all the time now

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Anthony goes into the bathroom to make peepee and wears underwear almost all of the time now. He has a special potty seat to sit on the big boy potty too. We haven’t started on the wiping yet, I think that will take some work. He washes his hands and closes the lid after he’s done. He is great!

Anthony types his name

He can type it! Now he needs to write the letters by hand.

Anthony spells Anthony

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Anthony can spell his own name now. He knew “ANT” for a while, and if you told him the “ANT” he could do the rest, but now he does the whole thing without any help. Yay!

Big Bike Rider

Anthony got a new bike as a reward for using the potty. He was actually pedaling pretty well!

Poop in the potty!

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Finally! I had to kind of trick him into it, but Anthony made poop in the potty! He was taking a bath and got up crying that he needed a diaper. I told him to sit on the potty while I got up and looked for a diaper. I ran out of the bathroom and pretended to run around looking for one. I listened at the door and I heard him whining that he needed a diaper… and then I heard him making it. Much rejoicing ensued, and then we gave him Big Kula, the big stuffed dog from Ikea that he’s been wanting for months, and plays with every time we go there.

As soon as he got out of the tub he asked for a diaper, but that’s fine, at least he used the potty once.

TAC

Anthony wrote cat all by himself on his Magna Doodle. He wrote it backwards though. I was still pretty impressed. I think this happened on Sunday.
