November Update

Ahhh, fall. I have had some trouble uploading pictures, but when I do, it will be of Buddy in his Buzz Lightyear costume. Pretty darn cute! Today was haircut day & he did really well. He needed to keep touching the buzzers - we call them "ticklers." I had to sit with Nina on my lap for her haircut & Will did great all by himself. We're still attempting potty training. Sometimes he does well at going in the toilet, but usually he only goes at bathtime, wearing a diaper the rest of the day. We're going to try something new pretty soon. We've made a sticker chart and when he gets 6 stickers he gets 1 new toy. We've already bought them, they're the die cast "Cars" character cars. It's something he really wants so I hope it will be good motivation. We've tried stickers, food rewards and a schedule, but he's been really resistant lately. Especially to the schedule. Even asking him if he wants to go, or needs to go, or has to go sends him yelling into another room. We'll probably drop it for a few days due to Thanksgiving being this week and then pick it up again. He doesn't know about the "Cars" reward toys, I'm going to let Daddy explain that one.
The weather has been bad, even worse than a normal fall, so we haven't gone outside to play this whole month! One very rainy day, we went to the garage to welcome Daddy home and Will just took off, finding his own socks and getting his coat on & then proceeded to ride his "motorcycle" (his Big Wheel) up and down the wet sidewalks. He was completely soaked but very happy. We've tried to explain we're going to have a new baby, but he doesn't care right now. His world revolves around his movies, his sister and a few friends. Sometimes on his magnetic doodle-pad he draws the family or writes his interpretation of letters & numbers. It's pretty cute when he comes to me with 2 dozen circles drawn everywhere & tell me they're donuts. Or sometimes they're zeroes!
