Poopski!!

So my 3 and a half yr old son has decided after a year of being potty trained to start pooping in his pants. Hes been doing it on and off for a month now. We have tried time outs, taking toys away, putting diapers on him to make him see that its what babys do. He is still doing it. I read that it can be out of laziness, but he goes pee everytime just fine. It could be for attention. Hes always got that!! So I don't know what to do. Hes not pooping alot. Just small amounts at a time about 4-5 times a day. So yesterday I gave him a supository and about 45 mins later he had a huge poop. So far today he hasnt pooped at all. So I guess I will see if he starts doing the same thing again. If so I am going to take him to the doctor becuase maybe its a bowl problem. If anyone has any ideas or has been threw this I would love to hear some solutions..

Karter's Speech Therapy

Today was a very busy day for Karter. He saw his Speech therapist at 9 am. He hasnt seen her in 6 months. Hes imporved alot since than. He uses lots of words and full sentances now. She told me that his speech is fine now our problem now is that hes developed a stutter. We are not sure if its a normal stutter from a 3 yr old. Some kids have a problem getting all there sentance out right away so they repeat a word a few times till they know what they want to say. Example... Mommy why why why is the sky blue? If its a mental problem thats creating the stutter than it would usually be more like this. Mommy wh wh wh why is the sky blue? Karter has the first one but becuase this is happening on a daily bases, a couple times a day his therapist wants to make sure it doesnt progress into something worse. So we go back in March for some more intense testing. My other concern with Karter was his colors. He doesnt remember them. I have been working hard on them for a couple months now and they arnt clicking for him. I can tell him that the apple is red and than tell him a bannana is yellow and ask him what color the apple is and he says " I don't know Mommy, tell me?". I know this isnt a major concern and the therapist told me today that because colors are and inadamite object some kids dont get what we are saying. To them they are seeing the apple or bannana.. not the color. She said that if we can work on comparing the color to the same object so he always associates it with that. He will start to remember. So we are going to work on that. Along with this sutter. She told me to praise him when he works threw it and let him know that he had a smooth sentance. Never tell him what he needs to slow down, or stop talking or correct him. Let him work threw it on his own and praise when he gets it right. She says he will associate the good with the proper speaking. So we have alot to work on... I am hoping that in the next month we have even minimal improvment. We love our boy so much and we know he will work threw this. -x0x0-

Valentines Day!!

So its Valentines day today!! Kurt and I had our date last night. My mum took Karter and we went to dinner at Red Robins (fancy I know!) and saw a movie called Valentines Day! Which was very funny! Even Kurt thought so. It was one of those chick flick comedys that wives have to drag their husbands to see. In the end I think he liked it. On friday Karter has his first valentines party to go to. The kids made little bags for their valentine cards. They decorated cupcakes with candies and played together. It was a good day! Karter and I had to leave the party early to go have lunch with my mum, grandma, sister and her friend and their kids. After that we went back to the party. Lunch was good. I haven't seen my sister since my wedding which was 8 months ago. I wish we were closer! not just in distance but in sisterhood as well. Well hopefully next week brings some excitment!

Big Boy Bike!

So Karter got his first big boy bike for christmas and we decided to go out for a cruz. He loved it and did so well. He knew to stop at stop signs and payed attention to traffic while pulling over to the side of the road. He even had his first wipe out. Nothing to damaging! He was more concerned about his bike than himself. It was great to see him doing so well with no help from his parents. Just more proff that hes getting older and bigger. I am so glad to see how independent he is getting but at the same time just want to take him in a blanket and swaddel him like my little baby! Do you think that feeling will ever change? Am I going to look at him in 25 years and feel the same way? Its true! The young years go by fast so take it in while you can!
