William loves his big sister so much and basically wants to do everything she does. Below are some pictures of our little monkey trying to be like his big sister.
Lily has the best ideas when it comes to riding the swings.
If Lily has important things to draw or write, so does William (although he is definitely right-handed).
Showing William the proper technique when it comes to oral hygiene.
If Lily is touching the snake then it must be okay. Daddy seems to think otherwise.
So, our biggest news of our ultra-fab weekend is that William went poo-poo on the potty!!! We are by no means in the process of potty training, but William has been telling us lately that he needs to go
before he actually goes poo-poo. So, purely for the practice of understanding what the potty is all about, I have been putting him on the potty when he tells me. We had only done this about three times when he actually went! I could not have been more surprised! I still don't plan on actually potty training any time soon, but we will definitely continue this practice while it lasts just to get him used to the concept so that it will be easier when he's actually ready for the real deal. My favorite part of William practicing on the potty is his "make a try" face - cracks me up! I can only guess that William's understanding of the potty concept has something to do with having a big sister as an example. Yet another reason why siblings are great!
William does in fact have his own interests separate from Lily. One of the biggest examples of this is trains. Lily was never really into trains. Even though we had them around when she was younger as well, she just never really got into them. However, William LOVES trains. We are very fortunate to have a train store 5 minutes from us that allows the kids to play on about 6 train tables set up around the room for free. I never really went to this store that much in the past because Lily was usually done with it in about 5 minutes. William, on the other hand, can easily spend an hour here with no complaints. We went here several times this summer while Lily was in camp, and now we plan on using it more with Lily being in school all day. It is especially great during the very hot summer days and the cold days of winter since it is an indoor, climate-controlled space.
