Ben's milestones (March 2006)

You wore underwear to bed last night. I put your diaper on you, and you said “this hurts, March 29, 2006
I don’t want to wear diapers anymore.” So I put underwear on you. You did good, no
accidents and you got up to pee once when you came to mommy’s bed in the middle
of the night.

I love you at this age. You are so funny and fun to be with. You are always wanting to March 30, 2006
Substitute songs with “funny words.” You want to tell jokes all the time and make
Everyone laugh. You have such a great sense of humor – I hope it continues.



Spanish – count, animalsYou learned to swim. You love the water

Ben's milestones (February 2006)

Today is February 23, 2006, You are 3 years and 8 months:

You are having issues with discipline. You don’t listen or behave. I think that is mommy and daddy’s fault. We aren’t real consistent with our discipline. You are a good kid. You are really sweet. I don’t think you get enough attention and I think you are starved for attention. We’re going to work on that. Mommy and Daddy have had a lot going on, but we’re going to work on that.
Mommy is going to take you to see a counselor, Chris Poulson. I think you need to talk to someone. You’ve been having some issues lately – and I think it would help you.
You love William. William just got out of the hospital and you were so worried about him the day he was in the hospital (Feb. 17, 2006) – your teacher at school said you cried all day and she had to hold you b/c you were so upset and so worried about William.
Your drink of choice is STILL chocolate and strawberry milk.
You are potty trained during the day but not at night.
You know your ABC’s, the sounds of the letters, you can recognize your ABC’s by site out of order, you can count to 20, you know some colors in Spanish, you know your name in sign language, you know your address, you can recognize letters at the beginnings of words
Anytime William is unhappy you come over and start singing to him. If he’s crying, you think it’s your job to make him happy. You love him so much. I think it’s so wonderful the bond that you have with him. It’s amazing that no matter how upset he is, you can always make him laugh, through your silliness.
