My father came into town today to help us move back to our homestate.  You’d think that pnut actually loved his grandfather or something.  Pnut is all over grandpa like white on rice.  He follows him around and makes him play all of pnuts little games with him.  When grandpa is around, pnut doesn’t want anything to do with his parents.  It is all grandpa, all the time.
Today while trying to finish packing up the house, we kept hearing pnut yell from the backyard for his “pa-pa”.  “pa-pa help me” “pa-pa, are you?” “pa-pa, swing me”.  Pnut has really picked up alot of sentences.  He can communicate alot better in the two months since we last saw grandpa.  He knows numbers 1-13 and half of his shapes.  It is still a little hard for pnut to say his shapes like triangle, rectangle, but he can say star, circle, and square just fine.

Pnut’s blog has been interviewed. If interested in reading the interview click the link below…

Poor, poor pnuts. Last night we let pnut sleep in our bed because we are taking his new friend back from where he came from. So we all piled onto the bed and cuddled up for a cold 8 degree weather night. This morning when pnut woke up he had a 101 degree fever and a nasty little cough. I knew he felt pretty bad when he wanted Daddy to hold him instead of me. So Daddy and Pnut laid on the couch and watched sesame street. I gave him some tylenol to break the fever and a cup of juice since he doesn’t feel like eating. I just sent hubby to the store to get some cough medicine whilst pnut watches Bear in the Big Blue House. I have a feeling today will be a lazy day for the pnut. Which is alright with me because when you are sick it is best to take it easy.

Today pnut tackled finger painting for the first time in almost a year. We haven’t fingerpainted for the simple fact that it is extremely messy but we needed to get messy. Pnut loved it and was oh so proud of his work. We put his art on his bedroom walls for him to admire.

We are making some progress on the pooping in the potty front.  Pnut has now started to pass gas on the potty so we’ve got the right hole down…lol.  Maybe he hasn’t gotten down the whole “feeling” thing of having to go #2 like he has with going pee-pee.  Whenever he pooties, I make a HUGE deal out of it.  We have now designated the potty chart in the bathroom as the poopies and boo-boo chart.  He only gets stickers on that chart when he attempts #2.  I know we will get there eventually.  I have faith.  It just can be very frustrating at times, especially when he takes his underwear off and poops on the floor.
