The Best Things About Sven (at 1 week)

1. His birth was awesome!  Story to come.
2. He has one pointy elf ear
3. and an inny belly button!
4. Sometimes he smiles in his sleep.  I know it's just gas but he looks really sweet.
5. He loves to cuddle and so do I.
6. He's warm
7. and he smells nice.
8. He likes to be carried in the sling, which is nice since we have been out and about a lot.
9. He really freaks out the cat.  It's hilarious.
10. He brings out a sweet side of Carl (who loves to gently touch his head),
11. Soren (who prayed last night that the baby would learn to read and write someday),
12. and his dad (who jumps up to walk him around whenever he fusses).
13. He is nursing well.  After a slow start, it is such a pleasure to see him chowing down.  I like it when he falls asleep and drools a little milk.  Awwww.
14. He has been really hardy from the get-go.  My mom commented over and over again on what a healthy baby he was and she's a nurse.  She would know.
15. He's so tiny!  I love his tiny feet,
16. his tiny hands,
17. and his tiny voice.
18. I like the faces he makes.  It's cute when he purses his lips and the pirate face makes me laugh.  (Of course, when we try to take a picture, he makes a hideous angry face.)
19. He has blonde hair, just like I hoped he would.
20. He's mine.  I love that.

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.

February 10 - 16

* I thoroughly enjoyed reading Skyward. * Soren beat Megaman 1 without dying. * Carl was swamped with art homework.  His teacher assigned him 5 mini-paintings, 30 gradients, and 1 shading. * Sven finished reading the Frog and Toad  treasury. * Leif talked a lot about wanting to make a friend. * Richard got to listen to lots and lots of read-a-louds.
