The Pledge of Allegiance

Myles started a new day care in August. They follow a curriculum like most daycares - there's only 1 difference - they actually DO the curriculum. He has amazed me in all that he has learned. He can identify letters Aa-Ii and tell you the sounds of each letter. It's unbelievable to me that a 2 year old knows this. He also can recite the pledge of allegiance. It's precious - he can hardly say some of the big words but I'm going to post it. Check it out - it's only about 20 seconds long.

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for... a forgiving Lord, healthy children, family, friends... the list could go on and on! We spent Thanksgiving with my family in Ruston. Jason, Jada, Jalyn,and new baby Jase were there. Shane and Jamie came in from Texas, Sam was here from Arkansas and so were Scott and Emily. (These are Francis children.) Shane and Jamie have a 3 year old, Chloe, who loves to play with Sydney and Myles. The feeling is mutual. They played all day yesterday and today.

Friday the girls went to Canton and left children with the Daddy's. They went to the movie and played while we shopped! We had a really good time together.

I can't believe that the week is coming to an end and we will go back to work on Monday. 3 more weeks until Christmas!!!

Potty Training

We are trying to conquer the task of potty training! We started several months ago with #1. We have accomplished this and are attempting #2. Myles has other thoughts on this issue!

He loves Thomas the Train. We've told him for the past 2 weeks if he will poop on the potty he can pick out a new train. This hasn't encouraged him. One day earlier in the week we decided we would go ahead and buy the train. We set the new train on his bookshelf in his room so he could see it everyday but he can't open it until he holds up his end of the deal. The first few nights he was ok with this. He dropped his pants and sat on the potty several times for atleast 10 minutes. One time his legs fell asleep and he wasn't happy! It's been 4 days now and the train is still in the box!

He told me earlier today "Mommy, tee tee just keeps coming out!" He doesn't understand. I'll post some funny pics of him tomorrow. Wish us luck!
