Along with all of Tessa's new sentences has come "I don't like that". If we are trying to do something she doesn't like or want us to do at that moments she say that over and over again (aka when I wash her hair). She talks all the time and non-stop, which is great. Her vocabulary is very well developed and it really only takes once and she remembers it.
Potty training is going really well. She is using the pull-up diapers and will pee on the potty 4-5 times a day. At school they have them sit on the potty at diaper-changing times. Most days she pees three of the four times on the potty and recently her diapers have been dry in between (meaning that she is holding it for the next potty break). At home this past weekend, she actually came up to me several times saying she had to go potty and actually went. This is all very exciting. Unfortunately, we cannot get her to poop on the potty. It would be SOOOOOOOO awesome if we could. Changing poopy diapers at this point sucks.
She has totally transitioned to being a big sister fabulously. She really never shows any aggression or anger towards Ellis and doesn't seem to be put off when we pay attention to him. She does get a little upset when Mike tries to spend time with Ellis on the weekends. She really misses him during the week and just wants to spend every minute with him. It's really cute to see her trying to 'cut' in between Ellis and Daddy when he's holding him. Mike had him laying on his chest one day and Tessa actually tried to squeeze her little butt in between the top of Ellis' head and Mike's face. We really hope that Mike will be in Atlanta (with a job) soon.
