big boy bryce

Bryce has finally conquered the potty after a not so fun month or two :) He has no problem now and really enjoys picking out his undies for the morning. he is enjoying his prize in this picture...a pack of smarties. He caught on quick to how the prizes are distributed and decided to ask to go potty maybe a few more times than really necessary . He quickly emptied the prize bag full of cars, flashcards, and books...we decided to give him stickers for a potty chart now, which he loves just as much...and we love that we're not shopping in the target dollar bin every week to fill up the prize bag!

"Go Yankee Bryce!"

One of Bryce's favorite movies is "Everyone's hero" in which a boy nicknames himself Yankee Irving since he is such a big NY Yankees fan. Going about our routine one day we heard Bryce shouting "go Yankee Bryce, Go Yankee Bryce!" while running laps around the dining room table. Now he often refers to himself as just that and loves to wear his NY Yankees hat. After a fun filled night being Yankee Bryce and playing outside he decided to come in for a cookie and a bit of a rest!

Spelling

Bryce just learned how to spell his name and has been doing a great job. We have been working on teaching him how to spell his middle name, Jonathan, but that might take a bit longer :) Dad also taught him one of his jokes that goes something like this..."What's on your shirt mama?...and when I look at my shirt he shouts, "boop, got your nose". The joke would be great if he really got your nose instead of poking you in the eye!

Caramel apple

Bryce was happy to find out that dessert this night was caramel apples that Aunt katie and uncle Damian brought from the amish market. He proceeded to pick the caramel off and just eat the apple...he really enjoyed the apple though!

gummy worms!

aunt katie, Uncle Damian, and cousin Samuel came for dinner last night. Bryce was thrilled when Aunt Katie showed him the gummy worms they brought for him. He got to enjoy a few as a special treat this day!
