Kate is growing and changing so quickly, right before our eyes. She's kind and compassionate, but stern in her ways. She has an ever widening vocabulary, but simply REFUSES to learn shapes. We'll look through her shape book and she'll identify the object, for example, a toy box, but won't call it a rectangle. She won't even SAY THE WORD "rectangle". She simply tells me "No shapes". She also refuses to admit the number "4 and 5" exist. When she counts anything she starts with "1,2,3" omits "4 and 5", jumping right to "6" then on to "7,8,9,10"!. It's kinda funny but pretty frustrating at the same time.
Ashton is working on potty training, doing fairly well with #1 but not so good with #2. He did wear underpants the entire week last week, but became constipated over the week as a result of not going #2. Funny thing though, when Paul noticed today Ashton was getting ready to go #2 while they were in the middle of nowhere at our neighborhood playground, Paul gave him the ok to "cop a squat" and go. But, for some random reason, Paul directed him to the tennis courts where Ashton proceeded to do his business. Right in the middle of taking care of the deed (I guess, I was not there) someone came through walking their dog. Paul did clean the mess up and dispose of it properly, but, the tennis courts? REALLY?!? But I guess when you have to go, you have to go! Ashton, if you ever read this, please believe, we really are doing the best we can. Honest!
