On Austin's birthday, I took the day off to be with him. Last year I took Sydney to school so I could have a special day just with Austin. This year it felt right for Sydney to be home with us too. They miss each other when the other is not around. I took them to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. They ate lunch and played on the playground. They had fun. Then in the evening Lisa, Keith, and Kaitlyn came over to celebrate with us. We had a cookie cake and ice cream. Kaitlyn wasn't feeling too well but she was very excited it was Austin's birthday. Kaitlyn got Austin a lego train set. It is awesome. Austin loves it. He has been playing with it every day. We had so much fun with them.
Then on Sunday, my parents came over and we celebrated Austin's birthday with them. Lauren made Austin an awesome Micky Mouse coconut cake. She makes amazing cakes. They got Austin a piano music toy. He loved it. It has a microphone and he was pretending to DJ. His favorite thing to say is "Everybody dance!" It is really fun. He likes to play music and wants everyone else to dance. They both really like music and dancing.
We have been potty training for over 2 weeks now. Austin is basically potty trained for pee pee at home. Until this weekend he absolutely refused to potty any where other than home. That includes day care. He will not go there at all either. On Friday night we went to Kaitlyn's house and he went potty there on his potty seat. Then on Saturday he went pee pee at Walmart again on his Micky potty seat because he wanted a donuts. We bribe him with what he wants. It is small steps but we are making progress. He still has not gone #2 in a potty yet. I can't wait for that to start happening. He wants a play dough garage truck at Target. We told him he can get it once he poops in the potty. Hopefully it will be soon.
He starts in the preschool room this week at school. In that room, Austin and one other kid are the only ones not potty trained. We are hoping that once he sees everyone else going potty there he will too. I really hate that he pees in his pants at school. I feel bad for him. When he is ready he will do it but it's hard knowing he could be wet at school.
Austin went to the doctors for his 3 year check up. He is now 34 pounds. When the doctor checked his ears he had an ear infection. This was his 4th ear infection since June. We had to see an ENT again. Our last ENT left this area so we needed to find another one. We got an appointment on Tuesday to see him. He highly recommended ear tubes. We really don't like him having surgery but don't like all the ear infections and antibiotics. So we scheduled surgery. Hopefully that will go well.
