So Big!

May 21, 2007 · 6 comments

Matt, it turns out, has grown quite a bit since Christmas.  The bike we got Santa brought him is decidedly too small for him.  So, we got him a new one!bike1.jpg Pretty slick, eh??

bike2.jpgSuch concentration !!bike3.jpg Excuse me, but how BIG does he look????!!

So he’s doing really well riding it – impressive for only a couple days of having it! He’s been practicing on his Big Wheel, but I’m still impressed at how well he’s doing on the bike!  😀

Now, if anyone could PLEASE tell me how to get him to go back to his underwear, it would be GREATLY appreciated!  It seems like he’s holding on to diapers like some sort of security blanket.  Honestly, if there were no more diapers in the house, he would be FINE. But since his brother has to wear them still (trust me, I am encouraging an early potty training for him!), they are still around and he grabs onto them like a freaking life preserver!  Do I get mad, disappointed, ignore it, force the issue, what??  I tried to tell him he can’t ride his bike without wearing his big boy underwear, but I feel horribly guilty about that.  I’m just not sure what to do.  And along the same lines, while I love Preston, it would certainly be nice to have him sleep in his own bed longer than a few hours every night!  Any ideas out there????

I\'m sure you\'ve tried this…but explain that the diapers are for Pres not for him. Are there any things of his that Pres isn\'t allowed to have? Put it to him in those terms. Also, and sometimes I forget too, you are the boss of him and just don\'t let him have the diapers- don\'t give him the choice!! Easier said than done though, you heard me complain about all the same things last year at this time- THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!
