French-dipped goldfish, Sharing & Sleeping!

Not a whole lot to update on today! Gibson discovered that he loves goldfish dipped in french dressing. he's so weird sometimes! ;-) We were eating at TaMolly's a few nights ago and he thought my left-over french dressing was ketchup. He decided to dip his goldfish in and got a big surprise. But he loved it! He sat there and ate his goldfish and french dressing like it was going out of style. I thought I'd press my luck and see if he'd eat a bite of lettuce with french dressing. We were hoping for "no whammies" but no such luck! He wouldn't touch it! That kid can smell a green veggie a mile away.

We've been working with Gibson on sharing. Like most two year olds, he's not real big on it. However, he did decide to share his animal cracker with cousin Payden. One step at a time! :-)

Then after sharing with Payden, he thought the high chair tray needed to be cleaned. If only his "need for cleanliness" would last! I'm sure in a few years, I'll have to beg and plead for him to clean anything!

An update on bedtime! We've been doing the "Supernanny" routine of tucking him in and leaving the room. Almost immeadiately he gets up and comes to the door. Then, we put him back in the bed, tell him "good nite" and leave the room. Once again, he's at the door. The third time, we tuck him back in bed but say nothing to him. This has stopped the screaming fits that were happening at bedtime a few short weeks ago. It usually takes anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes to get him to stay in the bed. Eventually, he stays in the bed and tucks himself in. This picture shows the results of his own "tuck in the bed" routine.

That's about it for now! Gibson's birthday party is next Saturday. Pray that is doesn't rain and that we don't get kicked out of where we're having the party.

Have a good weekend!
