Videos

Here are some videos. Yes, I know, the first one is sideways but I can't flip it. The first one is Jaimisen on his scooter. He has recently gotten REALLY good at it! The second is Evan and Jaimisen messing around. Evan taught Jaimisen how to "fall like a tree" Haha. Jaimisen has no fear and is full of trust :) The third one is Jaimisen on his new big boy bike!


Birthday

So I know I'm WAY behind on updating this thing and seeing as tomorrow, YES TOMORROW, is Jaimisen's third birthday, I thought now would be a good time. I don't even know where to begin. Jaimisen is growing like a weed; he is 38 inches tall and 35 pounds. I think his biggest accomplishment recently is going potty COMPLETELY by himself. He just gets up, goes into the bathroom, closes and locks the door, and does his thing. The first time he did this, I followed him and told him he needed to unlock the door and his response was "You have to wait one minute. I'm going pee!" Haha! :) He is also playing computer games now. I just go onto the Playhouse Disney website and he navigates by himself. He goes to the TV Show he wants to play on, and he knows which buttons have games. He has also taught himself how to play most of the games. I only showed him how to play one game and when he started navigating the site by himself, I figured he could figure out which games he can and can't play. I have watched him go from not being able to play a game at all to listening to the instructions and watching what happens to learning how to play all on his own. He also likes playing Wii Sports on occassion. He gets frustrated with that easier because he doesn't have the timing down as well. As I sit here writing, Jaimisen is playing on the computer..
Yesterday, for his birthday, I bought him a "big boy bike." It's a 14 inch, neon green, Tony Hawk Climber. My parents bought him a Harley Davidson Helmet and Horn to go with his new bike. He LOVES it. He's had a smaller bike but he hasn't liked to ride it around for very long and I think it's probably because it was too small making it more difficult to ride. He will literally ride his Tony Hawk bike around the court for an hour! It's awesome because I just get to watch and he gets tired out! And he LOVES it! I'll be posting a video soon don't worry.
Jaimisen was supposed to be starting swim lessons tomorrow but they decided he was "too young," which I think is ridiculous, so they won't be letting him do it. Everyone keeps telling me that I should just do it for him. The reason I won't is because I know him, and I know he won't get as much out of it if it's me teaching him. So one of my friends offered to give him private lessons at our house for a really great price, so that's what we will be doing starting in June! I will also be signing Jaimisen up for MyGym Summer Camp. He will go for 3 hours a day, one day a week, for six weeks. He is really looking forward to all that MyGym time.
Finally, Jaimisen starts preschool in August! I don't know what I'm going to do with myself.
I hope that catches everyone up for the most part. Again, I will try to keep it updated better. Jaimisen's birthday party is next weekend so I will update again after that!
