20-months

Nathan is now 20-months old. What does that mean? Well, in just 4 short months, we will be parents of a 2-year old. Seriously once you pass that newborn adjustment phase, time goes into lightning speed. So what is it like to be 20-months old? Well life according to Nathan goes something like this: question everything, exert independence, be stubborn, apologize for mistakes, enjoy life. Nathan has taken to exerting his independence whenever possible. He loves to try to climb into the car, fasten the straps on the carseat, climb into his highchair, undress and the list goes on. While he is not exactly successful at each task, he does not want help unless asked. Translation: you must be VERY patient, as any of the above tasks can take several minutes before help is requested. Nathan has started showing more interest in his potty, often asking to go sit on it, but as of yet he has not gone. He can tell you when he is going number 2, but still no connection between using the potty. Still, the prospect of him being potty trained is becoming more of a reality.
