Bishop has been very fun lately! He is talking a lot these days, which makes things very fun (and easier)!! He is very curious and is asking questions, mainly about where people are... "where mommy go"? "Where Papa go"? "bye bye?" It's so fun to hear him talking more and more.
He absolutely loves his teacher, Courtney and he asks about her all the time. He usually brings her up at mealtime and he usually asks if she's going to come over...."Courtney come over?"
Bishop has also starting using his imagination....as he's been talking about "froggies in the wa-wa"...although Froggies could be misinterpreted by someone else as a bad word! :)
Bishop's new favorite activity is playing in the "wa-wa" at the sink. He can pull a chair over and get up to turn the water on. He makes a mess, but is so happy and he is content for quite awhile, playing by himself. I can't believe he can pull a chair over to the sink--he has to get it through a doorway and the chairs are HEAVY!!!
This past weekend he really got into cooking/baking. We had the oven off and he was making us lunch!

Another highlight the past couple of weeks has been that Bishop has been going potty on the "big potty" at school more often....he even went poopy on the potty one day last week! He was so proud and excited...he got up and gave Courtney a high five--she said he was SO proud and it was the cutest thing. It was the first thing he told me when he got home that night...... "I go poopy on the potty"!
So....this past weekend we decided to try an "underwear" day where Bishop got to wear underwear all day and try going on the potty. He wasn't as excited to go at home and when he started refusing to try we decided not to push it anymore. We would ask and then 1 minute later he would go in his underwear.....but he would immediately run to the bathroom, so at least he knows where to go when he's wet! :) I had thought it was early and with the baby coming, I didn't want to push anything, but I also didn't want to hold him back, if he was interested and wanted to go.
Unfortunately, Bishop got a little stomach bug in the middle of the night, Wednesday night. He woke up around 11:30...crying and screaming and he had thrown up in his bed. We got up and I comforted him and we hung out and he did get sick a few more times......when he was finally ready to relax and go back to bed, I slept with him on the floor, next to his crib for awhile and then put him back in his crib. He was fine the next day and has been completely fine ever since. We are so thankful it was just a one time incident. It was so hard to see him get sick--and he was scared and upset, as he didn't really understand what was going on.
We are so excited for Bishop to be a big brother. He loves babies, although I am nervous about not being able to give him the attention I have been used to giving him. I know it's a very normal and healthy thing for all of us to go through and don't get me wrong, Bishop doesn't get EVERYTHING he asks for, but it will be different that he's not my "baby" anymore and I won't always be able to get him what he asks for right away.
