Miscellaneous

Just some random observations about Collin:

With all of the medicine we have had to take in the last month, I hope he has not turned into a hypochondriac. Anytime anyone coughs, sneezes or blows their nose, he says they need medicine. If he scratches himself, he needs medicine and a band aid. solves everything.

He has picked up saying "oh my gosh" when he drops something or if it's difficult to work (like opening a door knob). I am not sure where he learned this from. We don't think either one of us use that phrase or use it that much....but I am certainly going to pay more attention.

Now that it's really cold out, he is wearing long sleeves during the day and at night. He does not like long sleeves or anything on his fore arms....especially the right arm. Most of the, he pushes up the sleeve of the right arm even after I adjust the sleeve by pulling it back down for him. This is the same with his PJs. When he wakes in the morning, one of the first things he does is push at least one sleeve up.

If he really wants something, his voice goes up as he is asking for it. Frequently, he is also shaking his head up and down as if to say "please say yes".

He loves to play in the bubbles in the kitchen sink that are there for hand washing. This might be the ONLY time he does not push his sleeves up when needed. We went through 2 shirts yesterday because the arms were soaking wet. Yes, I know....don't let him do it......but it was entertainment on a very cold day today.

He is still potty trained during the day. W are too scared to try at night.....or when we know we will be running lots of errands. Sounds messy to me.
