Drum

Jasper went through a maraca phase a few weeks ago at around 7 months old and now towards his eighth month he is in a drum phase. He first saw a drum at one of our music classes and he crawled right to it and started drumming. He sat and drummed and then he stood and drummed over and over. When we got home I pulled out our little drum and he seems to really love it though it is not nearly as cool as the large gathering drum we have at music class.

We've also made the switch to underwear. He still wears a diaper at naps and nighttime. I also keep him in diapers for outings but when he is at home we try to have him in training pants. Since we started earnestly offering the potty to him at around 5 months old, it has been a few months now since he has pooped in his diapers but I had to laugh because the very first day that I put him in underwear was also a day that I fed him yogurt for the first time. Sure enough, he is off in the family room wearing his underwear and moments later I hear him drumming in a puddle of diarrhea!
