My son is growing

I'm now at my brother-in-laws house and I can't sleep. It's now 6:47 am. I will tell you why I am up so early. But I have to give you a good blog as I missed last weeks.  As I said I'm now at my brother-in-laws house with my family, and its awesome. My son is with his uncle Ryan (my wife's brother), his Nana (my wife's mother)  and is 2 cousins (my wife's nieces Olivia and Alexandra). Having family around is awesome.
I am proud to say that my sons potty training is going well. I'm also proud to report that it was a 5 hour drive to Ryan's house and we didn't stop once. Kenny didn't potty until we got to Ryan's. That's over 5 hours of holding his potty and no accidents. Awesome. The funny thing is he is doing adult size pops on the potty. Its amazing how big some of that stuff is that comes out of my kid. Last Thursday Kenneth's school had a mac and cheese party. It was told to us that Kenny had a hearty set of helpings. I have been taking a class and its every Monday and Thursday nights. It seems that Kenny got a lot of potty time practice that night was at class it seems.

I have already told you I'm at my brother-in-laws house. When we stay here we are in a finished basement. It's pretty awesome down there. We have an Amish heart with the fake looking fire going inside. And man does that thing heat up that basement. it's like having project heat again. lol lol lol lol
When we are down there we setup an air mattress for Kenny, and put his bed next to ours. OH my wife and I sleep in a queen size bed down there. We brought his fleece sleeping bag, pj's, and blanket. He was set to be warm. Our bed time routine for Kenny goes like this. If it's bath night then At 7:30 I start his bath. He is washed and out by 7:45 or so. Then he has to go pee pee and, or pop on the potty. Wash his hands and brush his teeth. He is then put in his PJ's. He is given some milk and read 1 or 2 sometimes 4 bedtime stories. Then he lays down, we kiss him, and tell him we love him. Then we turn out the light and close his door. Well here at Ryan's all that was done but no bath tonight. Well Kenny woke up at 3:37 this morning. Not knowing what time it was I got up with hm and took him to the potty. Before I took him to the potty I looked at the VCR clock and saw it was 3:37. In my head i said, kid are you crazy. But I told ok kenny we have to go pee pee on the potty then go back to sleep as it is way to early to get up. So we go to the potty and then go back do the basement. My wife is still sleep mind you. Kenny would lye down. Finally I got him to lie down next to me. He crawled in my arms and tried to sleep. It was awesome. It took him a bit to settle down and try to sleep. After a bit he said daddy I need to go to my bed and sleep. And he crawled into his bed and slowly went to sleep. He is now sleeping soundly and probably will sleep until 8am. While I woke up at 6:30am to go to the potty and have been up ever since. So I decided to do my blog post.
My son and wife Jen, make it all worth it. My wife Jen has given me so much. If I could I would give her, her weight in diamonds and all the massages she could stand. And Kenny is just a pure source of joy. I am truely blessed.

Bedtime

As I haven't been able to keep my promise of a post every Sunday, I feel another post is warranted. Jen and I have been so lucky. Kenny has been sleeping through the night since he was like 3 or 4 months old. Now he is 2 and a half and it seems our luck his running out. Kenny is doing everything he can to annoy me. And I have to say he does it quite well. The bed time routine is this. Every other night I give him a bath. Then we have him brush his teeth and wash his hands. Actually we have him brush his teeth and wash his hands before his bath. After the bath I rap him a towel and carry him to his room. I then get him into his pajamas and his over night diaper. We then give him so mike and read him a story or 2. Once the story his over i kiss and hug him. Tell him good night. I tuck him in and he goes to bed. Well that hasn't been the case lately. Last week Jen had to go out and i put Kenny to bed. He started calling me daddy daddy. I pee peed. Well I changed his diaper. The put him back to bed. 1 min later I hear daddy. So I ignore it. Well this went on and on. I yelled, I threatened to take his lighting McQueen race car away. But he fought me. We yelled at each other and he cried. My trick is to let him cry for a small bit. Then give him a hug and speak softly and say Kenny man I love you, and I need you to go to sleep. Finally he laid down I covered him told him I loved him again and to have sweet dreams. He asked if I would leave the door open. I told him I would leave the door slightly open. He said ok, then told me he loved me and went to sleep. Man that was a rough night. More for me then him. And I know there will be more to come. Hell to be honest he did some of that tonight. Man I'm tired. But do love that crazy kid of mine.

My son and his potty training

Do you remember in one of my post how I said I could swear I can see a new awareness with him about every few months or so. Well I have seen a new awareness. it seems that when my son has to poop he finds a corner to hide in to do his business. Jen and I instructed Kenny that if he has to go potty what is he to do. And he will say tell mom, daddy grandma Cheryl or Nana(Which is Jens mom). He is so amazing. He told me today as I need a napkin. I had given him milk and cookies with a napkin and he says I need one too. How awesome is that. He is 2 and a half.

Yesterday he had his 36 month well visit to the doctor. Now Jen and I love this doctor and clinic. It was called Kids First. Now it part of children's hospital. I was told by Jen (as I was at work and unable to attend) that Kenny gave his doctor a hard time. But when he did start talking he amazed the doctor. She said his vocabulary was very good. i credit his daycare school my wife and myself. All we do his talk and read to Kenny. He is awesome.
