Climbing out of jail

He was three paces up the wall of his jail today...I thought that would be useful for a bit longer...

 Michael just learned how to snap his fingers. He's loving Kindergarten and started going in-person about a month ago. The remote learning due to the Covid pandemic was interesting. It was fun to watch him engage in class but it's nice that he's able to go in-person now and he likes that much better.

Potty Training????????

So we've had Michael's toilet in the bathroom for a bit now and I've been sitting him on it before his bath just for familiarization. Over the past couple of weeks he started to be getting the idea so I started giving him bubbles in his bath whenever he peed in his toilet. Now, for the past few days, he doesn't want me to hold him on the toilet and he visibly tries to use it so I think, once the words start coming, potty training (knock on wood) shouldn't be too challenging. He's just got to be able to tell us when he needs to go and it's off to the races. I'm excited.

I said no to the fruits snacks but continued offering him the shake at intervals during the ensuing hour long meltdown that followed. When he was done he was done. Came out, asked politely for his shake and we continued with the day as if nothing had happened. I started a chart a few days ago so he can visualize when he loses privileges like nap and bedtime books and playtime in the bath. So far it seems to be helping him put things in perspective and helping me have something to do other than yell at him. I had a note in Google to remind me to start a "Learning Science with Michael" youtube channel on his third birthday. I'm not quite sure he's ready but I'm going to start combing...
