So I am officially nesting (not the part I am braggin about)! But anyways - since I have been back in Beijing (story of trip to come soon) I have been in a cleaning/organizing frenzy. I unloaded my suitcases the day after we got home (record for me as usually it takes at least a minimum of a week to do this), got all Cash's winter clothes put away, got out all the baby stuff, and organized my closet and our other big closet with all our storage items - feels great to be organized!
Today, as I was doing the biggest closet Cash came in and grabbed my hand. He dragged me into the bathroom and pointed at the toilet. At first I was a bit confused, thinking he had thrown another something into it - but after looking and seeing nothing I then realized - he said "pee pee". What? I said to myself - this is a joke - i am NOT even trying to potty train right now - I figure he isn't even 2 yet, and it is much easier in China to just have him in diapers then try, so was going to wait til we get home in the fall to try anything. However, I obliged him and let him get up and sit on the toilet. To my shock - he actually went - he then said "poop" and preceded to pop one out! Total shock, and total elation to for me - maybe he is going to just potty train himself without much coaching! I am not sure if it will happen again any time soon - but a fun mommy moment!
Anyways - he is SO MUCH fun and I just want to document a few of my other favorite things he is saying/doing:
He has started answering in the affirmative now when he wants to say yes: He actually just says "uh huh" and it is so cute and fun that I know he actually does like or want something!
He LOVES when his daddy comes home and jumps up and down and gets SO excited! He always wants to go outside with him!
He says "beijing" when you ask where we live!
When he sees airplanes he says "airplanes, arizona"!
When I say grammy he says "grammy's, otterpops!" (he loved those at my moms)
He love his VAN shoes Aunt Emma gave him and says "new shoes" and then points at the laces and says "butterflies"! He likes to try tying them too!
When we ask him what the baby's name will be he says "Cooper"! This is because Linds baby is named Cooper and I talk about him and we saw him in Utah - he won't say any other name!
He likes to give the baby kisses on my belly and say baby!
He LOVES to help clean and is a fun little sidekick to have when doing chores.....most the time!
He likes to wear his sunglasses here and the people go NUTS over him! He even wore them the entire time we were getting sushi inside the restaurant - the waitresses kept coming over just to look at him!
He is the best little travel buddy and did great on our 40 hour excursion home even when I wanted to scream for a LOT of it - always happy and excited about life!
He loves to ask for Muchi and Sam - 2 of his favorite people, and whenever we pass a school and I say "school" he starts to wave and says "muchi, school; muchi, school" and looking for her!
He gives me lots of kisses and makes me so happy each day - and I can only hope the next child is as great and happy as he is! He has a lot to live up to!

Wow! That is so impressive! Go Cashee! So you're back in China now huh? Maybe I can get a hold of you on the phone now :)
So talented! Its so much fun when they can start talking and you feel like you FINALLY know what they want. Fun to see you guys, even though we were all totally sick afterwards!
Glad you got back ok. Sounds like you wlil be there until the fall sometime. When is the baby due?

wow-- on the toilet already? and a first child? that is impressive. emery has two older sisters to look at and she hasn't even considered going yet!
so, i think i missed something-- are you moving back to the US soon or not?
I am jealous!! Halle is three and still won't use the toilet on her own. I laughed when I read the part about otter pops at Grammy's. It was great seeing both of you!
