Jadon tidbits

This past week Jadon is attempting to say his name. He points to himself and says his name. I think he pronounces it as De-da. Fiona's mom thinks he is saying Je-da. Fiona can't distinguish it from da-da.

For the most part, Jadon is turning out to be really shy. He either cries when someone approaches him or he'll go up to me or Fiona and ask us to pick him up. One way that he'll show that he likes you (or that he is comfortable with you) is he will go up to you, lift his hands up, and say "up." This past Friday we met up with Shirley & Gat for dessert and Jadon took quite a liking to them quickly. Usually he cries or panics until he gets use to other people but he clicked with them in a snap. He was extremely giddy and full of energy. He was so hyper that he ran into a wall. Luckily he was holding onto his milk cup which braced the impact. Boy did I laugh hard.

Jadon is starting to show signs that he might be ready to be potty trained. Before he goes poop, he says "pa-pa" and soon enough there it is. Sometimes before he pees he says "pa-pa" and grabs his crotch. Typically tots learn to potty train at about two years. We'll probably wait until after the twins are born to train Jadon. Fiona's read up that if you train a kid to potty train and then there is a significant change in life (i.e. siblings being born) they tend to regress. So we'll probably wait until after the twins are born to train Jadon.
