Drew Updates

Drew is just over two and half, he will be three in April. Drew can identify all colors, numbers 1-10 and count to 20 and sometimes beyond. He can recognize all letters and knows the alphabet, he has known his letters and numbers since about 21 months. We are "working" on potty training. Ken and I believe they will get it when they are ready so we don't push very hard. He definetly knows what the potty is for and usually goes when we put him on it. If he is nudie and needs to pee he will tell us and sit on the potty. He has been sleeping in a big boy bed for a couple of months now. One day the crib went out and the toddler bed came in and that was that. He rolled out of bed a couple of times, besides that it has been smooth sailing. Drew still LOVES his sippy, we are working on less sipppy at least less sippy with milk and juicy water (4 parts water-1 part juice). For the most part Drew is a decent eater except for at dinner time. We are trying to make dinner time more relaxing and limit all the fluids to help Drew eat better. Dinner gets stressful when Drew won't eat. Fortunately Drew continues to be huge so not getting enough food is not a problem. Drew still comes to work with me two or three days a week. Drew is certainly ready to stop coming to work with me I just haven't gotten around to finding an alternative. He is on the waiting list where Calvin goes and has been on the list for almost a year. I am really hoping that somthing opens up by the beginning of the summer or by the new school year so he can be in an official pre-school. If I can't get him in with Calvin I need to find and alternative for the few hours that I work a week.
