Potty training and speech

I am over the moon to say that Hayden is 50% potty trained. He will go up to the potty standing up like a big boy and pee if he has to go he'll just stand over the potty and go! I am beyond glad that potty training has been so easy because PT was one of the things that completely scared me to death. I didn't think I would be able to do it at all or that my child would be one of those children that took forever to train.
But so far so good. I will be making changes: bye bye disposable diapers! Not when we go out and not when he goes to bed. I'm all cloth, all the time. Yay!!! Hayden will be transferred slowly (slow being the key term here) into big boy underwear to drive home that he has to pee in the potty most of the time now, expect when he is napping or going places he'll be strapped in cloth.

For the last few days, Hayden has been a talking machine- surprising us so much with his extending vocabulary. He now is trying out two word sentences here and there and may a 3 word phase. Two days ago, the hubby went to my Mom's to drop off something, Hayden was with him. When it was time to go Hayden promptly told Daddy "I stay!" Daddy's eyes widened then he tried to tell him he needed to go to help him check the mail. "I stay here!" is all my toddler had to say as everyone in the room looked at one another. Go figure he loves Grandma's house! Yesterday he told Daddy "lay down" so he could race cars on his stomach. And he loves saying "got it" when playing ball. He will even babble on conversational like and then laugh, coo "ooo" before tumbling over in laughter. Speech I have so much fun with because it is amazing to me how much they pick simply by listening and you communicating with a toddler.
