A few of his daily favorites are...
Helping mommy around the house:
Dominic loves to help me unload the silverwear from the dishwasher every day. It is so cute. He also recently started helping me sweep the kitchen floor. Sometimes I have him help me bake bread, etc, by dumping the flour into the bowl to mix. He is a good little helper even at 1!
Brushing his teeth:
In January, we handed Dominic a toothbrush with some training toothpaste after his nightly bath to see what he would do. He took it, put it right in his mouth and started brushing! He knew exactly what to do!
Playing in Ramsey's crate:
Dominic and Ramsey are best buds. They play together all the time and like to get each other into trouble (mostly, Dominic tempts Ramsey with his toys and food and gives it to him and then Ramsey gets in trouble!). Since Ramsey turned two and has been fixed he has calmed down considerably...he rarely barks (unless someone comes to the door, which I am so thankful for!), he is soooooo good with Dominic, he sleeps most of the day and he gets us out of the house on a walk every day, rain or shine! We are so thankful that we still have him!!
His favorite things:
Brushing his teeth and playing in the crate at the same time!
And of course eating!!!
He will eat almost anything you put in front of him. His favorite thing for breakfast is oatmeal (with wheatgerm and a little bit of honey mixed in) and bananas, lunch he has a sandwich or chicken quesadilla, or soup and for dinner he eats what we do. He is such a good little eater!
Annie, Dominic is too cute!!! Ok, so I tried to post this on facebook, but it kept coming up with an error message. So, I decided to post it here instead:
ReplyDeleteHi Annie!
Good to hear from you. I think I'm done having kids. This pregnancy has made me realize that I don't think I want to put my body through this again! It's just a lot, you know? I'm so excited that Dominic is sleeping through the night!!! That's great :) I can tell that you take such good care of him and you're an amazing mom! What a relief! We have friends with a two year old and they still lay down with her every night to get her to go to sleep. I also know of someone who has a five year old daughter and she won't go to sleep until her mom does. So, you have accomplished something HUGE! From now on, your little guy will know how to go to sleep by himself and sleep through the night. That's not to say there won't be phases where he'll be more needy (when he's sick, during big life changes, etc.), but you've created a great foundation for his sleeping from now on. Good job!!!
Ok, I think I'm going to go take a bubble bath - it's been a long day :)
