Oh so many changes these days! First and foremost, we have about 2 months left until the second baby arrives! Anna's due date is coming right up. It's amazing how quickly this pregnancy went by (it seems like a blink of an eye) compared with Anders gestation, which felt as slow as molasses. Baby number two certainly doesn't get the same pre-birth perseveration.
Anders is clearly aware of the new baby and as time gets closer we will prepare him even more.
Next on the list of changes, Anders has begun to use the potty! this is a major milestone! He decided on Sunday all on his own, that he had to pee in the toilet and has been doing really well ever since. We bought cute flashy car stickers and also some zoo animals as rewards. So far, so good!
Sleeping has been another major hurdle, and we seem to have landed safely on the other side. He loves his new bed, bedroom set up, and his bedtime routine. All in all, I'd say our boy is growing up.
Finally, there is pre-school. YIKES! As excited as I am about him beginning, I also feel pretty anxious. What if it's too much for him? What if he's too young? What if they won't appreciate him the way I need them to? This one will play out over time. There is open house tomorrow and we'll take it one day at a time. We will make it a slow transition and ease him into it lightly. But at the same time, I am n e r v o u s.
