Big Boy

I've noticed Justin's really been maturing lately. He's asking more intelligent questions and understanding more of the answers. He's been voluntarily using the potty quite a bit, even getting upset when his Daddy tells him to just go in his diaper (because Tom doesn't feel like taking him). He had stopped using the potty for a while, so whatever prompted him to start again came solely from him. He's been very into having stories read to him the past few weeks. That is a big change for him. I could read little books to Leanna when she was a tiny baby, and she would look at the pictures and then eat the book. Justin could never be bothered with it. Not even to eat them. But all the sudden he loves books. And sometimes he will read you a story too. I love that-you find out the most interesting things about how they see their world. For example Justin was reading a highlights magazine with a picture of a boy and girl. He looked at the picture and told me sadly, "Girl can't kick." Gee, who does he have in mind there?!
