Am learning

As I sit here @ my kitchen table and try to teach my 2 year old I can not help but laugh... I'm in serious " teacher" mode and as I review letters , colors and shapes I look over to see that he has stragacially placed caps of markers on all 10 of his fingers!!! He's singing some sort of tune and reciting back to me what each marker's cap color is. am amazed at how fast he's picking up everything !! He can count to 10; although he often skips 4, knows his ABC's and can even pick out the letters in a book!! I can proudly declasre that there are none of my accomplishments in education have made me as fulfilled s the first time Christian actually learned something that I purposely taught him!!! Now spelling that he'll have to go to " real " school for; maybe I'll even attend a class with him or two! An update on the potty training.. w He can aquire a " treat" when he peepees or pooppes on the pottie. And that treat is an M&M.. So I let him run around bottomless and constantly place him on his litle pot and encourage him to let it go!!! Well yesterday he ran upstairs as I was preparing lunch and then ran to me enthustatically declaring "MAMA TREAT"!!! I replied oh good lets go look in the potty ... Well he directed me to his heep of poop on my bedroom floor. As I approached his mess he was clapping and dancing and saying.. " treat treat!!"... UGH!!! " No buba in the P O T T Y!!!!"... His reply " I DID!!".. When did my bedroom floor become the toliet? i tried to explain to him that he can't get the treat because he didn't go in the potty. Completely crushed he retreated to my bed covered his head and cried. Ahhh I of course went down stairs got a him a bowl of M & M's , put a diaper on his butt and told him we'd try again tomorrow!!!
