Elmo and Independence

The night before Bryson turned two he decided to let mom know what a big boy he is and that he would be doing more stuff on his own. He did this by taking care of his now favorite toy Elmo. He got this for his first Christmas from grandma but really hasn't paid it much attention. The last couple of weeks though it has become the favorite toy.

To the point Elmo is suppose to come with us every were. Luckily here we convinced him Elmo want to stay to watch over the kitties. So he left him inside and gave him a "bye-bye elmoo" and we were able to get going.

However the night before Elmo had to be carried upstairs for bed time. And after a bath Bryson let mommy know that he would handle things and show Elmo what the routine is for bed time. So first thing was potty time. He put him on it and even got his box he uses as a table and put his mickey mouse clubhouse he plays with on it. This way Elmo would be entertained while using the little monster toilet!After potty time Elmo got taken to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He got one of his toothbrushes and acted like he put toothpaste on it and proceeded to brush Elmo's teeth. Notice he is telling Elmo "ahhh" so he can get his tongue really good. Then he put Elmo down in front of the rocker got his blanket and lovie and climbed in it to read some books. After 5-6 books he decided it was time to go to bed and asked to be put in his bed and that was it went right to sleep!

Think mommy is going to miss that quiet time of getting to read to B as he goes to sleep but the little man is showing his maturity! luckily B wanted mom to read to him again the next night. Man they sure grow up fast!
