Brennan is becoming quite the negotiator! Like most parents of toddlers, we frequently use "First/Then" or "If/Then" strategies and incentives for positive behavior. At times, Brennan likes to negotiate the terms of these tactics. For example, instead of being able to watch one show, he asks "How about two shows?" or we ask him to eat a particular number of bites of his food, he'll respond "How about ___ bites?" Sometimes this plan backfires for him because he suggests a higher number!
In other news, he's able to count to 30 independently. He has been able to verbally spell his name for awhile and is now able to verbally spell Gavin's name.
Gavin has found his fists and is more talkative and smiley every day! He sleeps 10-11 hours at night and takes several cat naps (20 minutes-1 hour) throughout the day. We're still working on him drinking from a bottle. He doesn't enjoy it, but will drink...eventually...sometimes.
