Micah moved up to a new class in daycare a few weeks ago. The main prerequisites for the "Toddler" class were: Walking, drinking from a cup, and introduction to the potty. Now Micah practices going to the potty at least 5 times a day at school. He is also required to wear pull-ups--which costs more AND you get fewer pull-ups in each box! What sense does that make?!
I forgot to mention in the previous blog that at his 18 month appointment, Micah is now in the 25th percentile for weight (25 lbs.) and in the 50th percentile for height (~32 in. long). He is still very particular about his food, but he is getting a "little" better (and I use that word very lightly.)
Micah LOVES bubbles, "bub-bas!" as he calls it. His favorite toys are block puzzles, the activity barn, and his books. Micah learned how to climb over the ottoman last weekend, so this is a new activity he does over and over again. He likes to dance, and Dewayne taught him a two-step that he does whenever he is climbing the stairs. The problem is that he does the two-step jig after climbing each individual step which makes for a very LONG trip up the stairs! Finally, as soon as we get upstairs from the basement, Micah stomps directly to the refrigerator and yells, "Mik! Mik!" (Milk.) He is also aware that the panty contains yummy food, so whenever we open the pantry door, you can hear Micah yell, "Peeees!" (Please.)
His temper tantrums have slightly changed recently. For the past few months, the tantrums consisted of falling to the floor and bumping his head, followed by kicking his legs and rolling side-to- side. I guess he quickly realized that dropping his head on the hardwood floor wasn't a good idea, so then he altered his tantrum by taking his time to gently lie down before kicking his legs and screaming. Lately, he just found it easier to lay down on his stomach and do the reverse army crawl when he's not getting his way. It's actually quite humorous...I should get some video of this for future blackmail...
...When asked, "Where is Micah's hair?"
I think it's safe to say that Micah is not shy of the camera!

Micah can drink from a "big boy" cup!
