Physical Training

Recently I've had to take Aiden with me when I go to physical train. I don't get to work out much because he demands my attention. Check him out grabbing the ropes even though it was my turn. At 1st glance those ropes don't look like much but this is a serious workout. I hear it was voted best cardio in Men's Health Magazine.

Potty Training 202

I didn't think that AJ was ready to use the potty. Yes he tells me when he poops and squeezes his diaper when wet but he screams and kicks when I put him on the potty seat. I've read that boys take longer and are usually ready by age 3.
Training requires patience and energy. It's beginning to pay off. After weeks of sitting on the potty with no results, today he pooped and peed in the potty. Like I said before, both parents must be consistent to ensure success. I recently got more details from his dad and started to use his technique. It is making a difference.

Potty Training 101

Aiden's dad started potty training him months ago. I found out after the fact. Originally I decided to begin training after he turned 2 and during the summer when I had 1 less brouzin in day care. I reasoned that I needed less distractions in order to focus on AJ. Well I had to start early since his dad was doing it. Aiden will only be successful when both parents commit to consistent and regular training.

Dr Visit Update

AJ went to the doctor for his 24 month well visit on June 3rd. He still has a heart murmur but still in good health.

30 pounds 2 ounces

The doctor confirmed my concern that he drinks way too much milk so it is time to cut back (easier said than done). If this persists, he may become over weight and malnourished.
Dr Hirsch was slightly concerned about his speech because he should be speaking in 3 word sentences. She asked that he return in 6 months instead of 12 months. I, however, am not worried. Anyone who knows AJ, knows that he loves to talk....not in sentences but paragraphs. I will admit that it was hard to understand him in the past but he gets better every day. Lately he asked, "Where did the cat go?" and he told the cat to, "Get out his bed".

Apology

I apologize for not posting to this blog for over 30 days. My life was temporarily consumed with stress, disappointments, and constant schedule changes. Those days are dwindling so stay tuned for upcoming posts.
