Today was Asia's first day without a bottle! Yeah! And we're starting to potty train her too. She likes to sit on the potty because she sees Zach do it. No success yet, but at least she likes it. And she knows what it's for.
When it comes to the bottle, or "ba ba", she asks for it, but doesn't care if she doesn't really get a bottle. She'll get a sippy cup and she'll be fine. Good girl. I thought it would be harder. She even played with an actual bottle today because there was one in the dishwasher when I was emptying it. She just played with it. She didn't insist on drinking from it. Wow, either really short term memory or she's just not that picky.
Today, we got Zach's first report card. Yes, a report card in preschool! Everything on it was pretty accurate. It was just a list of preschool skills and an answer saying sometimes, yes, no, or not yet. So when it comes to holding a pencil correctly or using scissors, the answer is not yet. It's tough getting him to hold a pencil or scissors correctly because he's left-handed. Both John and I am right-handed, so how do we teach him? Then most of the other things were all sometimes. Sometimes he listens to instructions, sometimes he plays independently, sometimes he plays with other kids. The only things that were a yes were that he expresses his feelings and talks well. That's my Zachy.
