Big boy

I couldn't think of a creative title, so there you go. Michael has gotten so big lately and is doing some pretty cool things.

1- He is 1/2 way potty trained. Kinda self imposed, but he will only go #1 on the toilet. 2 weeks straight of dry diapers (even at night). But refuses to go #2 on the toilet. Kinda backwards of what I would like. Any suggestions? Tried all kind of bribes and rewards, but no go.

2- He knows almost all of his lower and uppercase letters thanks to a wonderful DVD recommended by his genius baby friend. Meet the Letters, you can buy it from Amazon.com. It claims to be able to teach your toddler the alphabet in 2 weeks (if you child will actually sit through the DVD once a day)!

3- He knows most of his shapes, can count to 10, and we are working on colors (poor color blind kid, maybe we should have bought Meet the Colors first!)

4. Has discovered potty talk and likes to talk about eating "poo poo sandwiches"
5. Likes to pee standing up in the tub. He will use every muscle he has to squeeze out any last drop that is in there.

I've got to pick up that amazing DVD. Claire isn't learning much from her Princess Sing-a-long DVD, except how to be a little primadonna and I don't think she needs to watch anything to figure out how to do that.

nice-peeing in the tub! Alex also does that. It is so crazy how fast they grow up!

I dont have experience with the potty training yet, but my girlfriend would recognize her daughters poop face and I think she would also tell her sometimes when she had to go, and would make her sit on the toilet until she pooped. she couldn't get up and after a few times of that, maybe a week she went on her own!
