Big week for Joe…Joe is consistently making buckets now. He does it in the laundry basket, but also on his little mini hoop. He’s so close to walking, we went swimming at Uncle Paul’s on Friday and he almost walked after that. Uncle Paul said it counted because he saw it. That was after Joe’s first excursion in the crabby floaty (even though we said we wouldn’t do it again, he loved it). He wanted to go down and down the slide. Speaking of, he will now go down the slide on our playset by himself. It’s about 4-5 ft high. He can’t climb up by himself yet, but i give that 3 weeks. Last Joe update, he started giving kisses this week. Open mouth variety, just like Izzy did when she started. This has reminded Izzy of that, and so she couples those types of kisses with just straight on licks. It’s gross.
To the Izzy portion of today’s segment, both she and Joe really like the electric piano Noni and Baba brought us because no one uses it at their house. They have figured out how to make it play songs. Yesterday, Izzy did that and was then dancing with Anna. Anna taught Izzy a dance move around shaking her booty, which we call hiney, and Izzy thought it was hilarious. In reality, Anna basically taught our almost 3 year old how to twerk. Then Izzy made me do the “hiney dance” with her too. We still aren’t potty trained yet, but on Izzy’s “birthday message” on our board that Anna will change out, she made us put her goal of “pooping on the potty in year 3”. Maybe one day….
