School's been going good, I have classes Monday-Friday but I don't go until 7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I get home at 6pm on Wednesdays, so that allows me to have a little more time at home during the week, which has been really nice.
Silas is doing good, we're working on potty training but not much luck so far. He's completely potty trained at day care, but he just won't do it at home. It's kinda nice since we're not going through as many diapers. They have kid-size toilets at day care, so I think it's easier for him to do it there than it is at home with the seat on the normal sized one. I was joking with Colleen that we should just get a kid sized toilet installed in our bathroom at home and maybe that will help. He can also now reach the light switch in his room so getting him to bed has been a bit of a struggle lately, as he's always getting out of bed and turning his light and either playing with toys or reading books. He loves to help us cook, as you can tell from the photo below. Today we made cookies and he was so excited about them. When I asked him what he wanted for lunch he said, "Um...cookies?" We had dinner at our friend's Adam and Kelli's house tonight and brought some cookies with us and he just couldn't wait to eat some after dinner. He's quite the showoff, too, which I know Tim can attest to. He'll say "Watch this Unka Tim", then do some strange acrobat move then fall down. You would think he's starved for attention. We were playing in his room the other day and he was standing up on his bed then jumping down to the floor and he would say "Watch this, daddy, super jump!" It was pretty funny. Melanie gave us their trampoline, which has been awesome and allows him to do all sorts of fun tricks. Anyways, here are a few photos.
Here he is helping me make pizza one night for dinner.
The above photo was taken about 5 seconds before he attempted attack Colleen with the stick he has in his hands.
I got home from school Friday night and he and Colleen had made this cool track for his cars. He was so excited to show me that he wouldn't go to bed until I got home and saw it.
Hope everyone is doing well. If anyone's planning on coming for Thanksgiving and needs a hotel room, let me know. I've got the sweet connection.
