Jett: Superheroes, Words, Woofs, Potty Training & Da Bones

Superheroes
Jett is in that awesome stage where his whole world revolves around being a superhero. He is always dressed wearing a superhero shirt, cape, mask or all of the above. To top it off, he's got some awesome light up Spiderman shoes his super cool mom gave him. Because of my new hobby/business, I go to Hobby Lobby a lot, like, a whole lot, and they always remember him there because he's the kid with the cape. There is something about little kids dressing up that makes me smile. Because they don't do it just the week of Halloween, they do it all year round and only that age group can get away with it. And to top it off, they just don't care what anyone else thinks. It always makes me smile.

Words
Since Jett got his tonsils out 4 months ago, his speech has blown us away! He is talking more and more every day and is tailing Cruise as far as expressive language. His receptive language is amazing, so Dave and I have to watch what we say in front of him. We've actually started speaking in Spanish so they won't know what we're talking about. It's helpful. It is so much fun to listen to the two boys talk to each other. They both know what the other one is saying and they have conversations and play together so well! It is absolutely incredible!

Woofs
Jett calls all dogs "Woof"s. He loves Lucy and all other doggies. He has to have her sleep in his room now days. He sings to her every night and it is adorable: "Baby woof. Baby woof. Baby woof."

This poor dog puts up with so much.

Potty Training
I have tried potty training this kid one too many times that I think I've given up. I'm just gonna wait until he decides he's going to go potty on his own. I tried the technique I used with Cruise, but Jett would just keep a little bit of pee in so he could pee every minute to get another candy. Then I did stickers and that worked for a day, and then he didn't care any more. I swear, that kid is so hard to motivate! But the good news is, is that lately he's been wanting to wear his underwear, so I'm just going to do the hands-off approach (since he obviously knows HOW to go potty in the toilet) and just let him work it out. Yep. I'm done.

Da Bones
Jett has a slightly unhealthy obsession with the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. We literally go at least twice a week. He will even ask to call "Papa" if I tell him we can't go that day:
Jett: "Caw Papa?"
Me: You want to call grandpa?
Jett: Uh huh!
Me: Ok. (dials and calls Papa)
Jett: Hi Papa! Wanna see da bones?

He really doesn't spend that much time actually looking at the dinosaurs, but he really loves it. Then we always have to go to the Farm Country afterwards and ride the pony and the wagon ride. Cruise's routine there is pretend to make the milk, buy a carton of milk, ride a pony, ride the wagon ride, go home. So Jett has adopted this routine as well.

Jett is such a joy to have around. He's my little buddy during the day when Cruise is gone. He is so easy going and loves to give loves and kisses. There's just nobody like my Jett-man!
