Charles is doing much better since he moved up. He doesn’t give his little cry of protest when I tell him that it’s time to visit his little friends. Last week he actually replied by asking if he was going to “have fun?” when he got there. Coincidentally I’ve also been taking him in later than normal because of morning meetings and whatnot.
He was a bit of a problem yesterday, though, as he managed to wet himself as we were going out to the car. He had a diaper on that wasn’t really wet yet still Charles managed to soak his pants. I’m not sure how he managed it. He’s a clever one, that boy.
Charles is babbling much more than he used to. Previously he would babble now and then but over the last few weeks he started babbling frequently. He tries to explain stuff to me but he doesn’t get many actual words in the stream. But he does seem to be trying to use words to describe the real world.
Charles is learning how to put clothes on. He’s good at taking them off but not so good at putting them on. He does put his arms up to go in to the sleaves for me now which is a step forward. He’s also good about picking his feet up for diapers and pants.
Not much progress on the potty front. I discuss this with Charles every time I change him, but he just smiles and says “no” and “potty? no”. He has been starting to request new diapers, sometimes when he has made just a single wet. I tell him that he can wait and if he doesn’t like it, he can use the potty. That tends to damp his complaints, although Mom just changes his diaper. She’s so weak.
