Grandad came in from NJ last week and Evan and him had a great week together. Evan and Grandad enjoyed the park, the backyard, walks around the neighborhood, and each other. Grandad also introduced Evan to the couch monster – which Salsa has been dealing with for several years now. Thankfully the couch monster slept for most of the visit – or at least Evan kept telling it to sleep. It was fabulous to see my dad and I know that Evan had a great time because when he woke up after dropping Grandad at O’hare – his first comment was, “Where’d Grandad go?” Thanks Grandad for a great visit!

Evan’s new skill is taking off his clothes and diaper – which has positives and negatives. The positive side: 1. he seems to be moving toward potty training a little more with wanting the diaper off and 2. he knows exactly where to put his clothes and diaper. The clothes go in the hamper and the diaper goes on the changing table. The negative side – 1. he does not always feel the need to go to the potty when he does take the diaper off and 2. sometimes it is behind his bedroom door that he does this and we do not know until we hear him say something like this, “oh no, poop on the blanket.”
Keeping his shorts or pants on seems to help, so no more bedtime with only a diaper.
