22 Month Milestones

Christopher Alton was officially 22 months old yesterday (June 10th). Just in the last few days, he's had a few small but very important milestones. He has been talking pretty good since he was 18 months old, and by the time he was 20 months he was really repeating everything. Well, just recently he has started forming short sentences and putting multiple words together. No longer is it just "milk"- it's "I please milk". He's really starting to communicate what he wants. Of course, I have to remind him often that we don't whine, we use words=)
The other important milestone is that he went poopy in the potty! Now, I'm sure many do not care to know or read about this- but it's a BIG deal! Kids really struggle with it. He has had his little singing potty for a few months, and he loves to sit and read on it, and occasionally pees, but we haven't pushed it and I don't think he "gets" it yet. But, tonight he made his little face and I snatched him up and we ran up to sit on the potty. And, he did it! Daddy and Carson ran up and we all did somewhat of a potty dance=) I'm hoping with all the singing and excitement he'll want to do it more!
