Just want to update on my pottying pro! Nicholas is doing awesome with the potty! Yesterday Kaki came to visit and I decided to venture out for the first time. We went to the library and sat for storytime. Nicholas went potty there at the library and kept his pants dry the rest of the time, even when we went to lunch afterwards! Today was a real test as we met his friend Eli at the Burger King playground. I thought for sure there would be difficulties as he'd have to stop playing to come potty, he'd get stuck up in a tunnel when he needed to go, or he'd get mad when I'd try and make him go. But he did great! He came and told me 3 times while he was playing that he had to go!! He's a superstar!
I've also discovered that Nolan is quite picky when it comes to pacifiers. He has a certain kind of nipple that he prefers--the NUK kind, and he sure gets upset if you offer him another kind. I'm adding to my to do list to stock up on that brand as these many others that I have are worthless for him. He's also taken to a certain soft blankie as his lovie. It is so adorable! When he's awake and in the swing or the car seat, he loves to put it over his face and suck on the silky part. He literally does a little sigh of relief when you give the blankie to him. And then when he's sleeping since he is swaddled and can't use his hands to cuddle with it, I just lay it to the side of his head and he rubs the side of his face into it and nuzzles up close, again sighing with comfort. It is the cutest thing! Thankfully, this blankie is a lot nicer to look at than "Puppy" and holds up well in the wash. I'm sure it'll be sticking around for a while--we'll have to come up with a good name for it!
