Sven's First Birthday

It has been one wonderful year since Sven first came to our family. This is what we did to celebrate:

1. I sang the "Happy, Happy Birthday" song to him all day long.

2. He had a strawberry smoothie with cheerios for breakfast. What could be better than that?

3. Maybe the very sweet pancakes we made in Kindergarten, which Sven enjoyed immensely.

4. I dug out my bin of 12 month clothing and put Sven in a new outfit. I was looking for the onesie from Carl's first birthday but I couldn't find it. Which is ok, because Sven got one of his own later.

5. We went to McDonald's for lunch with our neighbors. Carl and Sven played I-drop-it-you-pick-it-up with the happy meal toy for quite a while.

6. I tried to get a picture of my three boys all together but they were too wiggly.

7. Sven's Nan sent him an amazon gift card so I enjoyed browsing for board books during his nap.

8. I made chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Sven's cupcake didn't have much frosting but he still loved it. Scott made a video of the happy event.

9. Scott opened Sven's presents and Sven played with the wrapping paper. My favorite thing that he got: new shoes! He also got a birthday shirt which we changed him into straight away. He looks so big!

Happy Birthday, Pumpkin!

Our Potty Training Journey

February 2010 GOAL: My initial goal was to introduce Soren to the toilet and make it a fun place to sit. I have to admit that I also hoped that we would have some fortunate "accidents" that would lead to potty training success. STRATEGY: My plan was to sit Soren on the toilet once a day and read him a couple of stories. If he peed, I was planning to give him a candy. THE BAD NEWS: The candy totally backfired. The one time that he peed on the toilet, I gave him a candy and he had a full-on tantrum begging for more. If I ever told him "When you pee on the potty, you can have a candy", he would begin screaming for the treat and be unable to focus on the toilet training. THE GOOD NEWS: Soren was not afraid of sitting on the big toilet. He actually really enjoyed it (when I was reading stories and not pimping rewards) and started asking to sit there any time his butt was bare. J June 2010 GOAL: My goal was to potty train Soren within the month of June

Cake for Breakfast!

I was getting dressed when it suddenly got very quiet out in the living room. Soren had been contentedly babbling a moment ago and now it was silent. I'm sure you can imagine me, rushing half-panted down the hall, hoping nothing horrible had happened. At our last visit, my pediatrician filled my mind with horror stories of infant death; now gruesome scenes were flipping through my mind like a slide show on speed. Or like the scary tunnel in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". Expecting a disaster, I was relieved when this was what I saw in the living room: The night before, I'd left a slice of left-over cake on the arm chair. We'd had company and Soren had been in bed. When I'd forgotten it at the end of the evening, it had been far from my son's greedy grasp. But this morning, when it was still left behind, it was within easy baby reach and too unusual for him not to explore. No wonder he was so quiet! He'd been experimenting with an unk

Milestone: New Syllable

This feels like such a silly thing to report about but it's got me tickled pink. Today Soren learned, what I feel, is the most important of all the English syllables: "ma". And it's about time. After months and months of hearing nothing but "da da da da" all day long, it's a refreshing change. I'm pretty sure that "da da" and "ma ma" don't correlate to anything in his mind yet. Still, he's that much closer to calling me his "mama" and I can't say the approximations don't warm my heart.
