He had a cold about 3 weeks ago, and the cough has been lingering. He wakes up a couple times at night and we'll give him some water and he'll go right back to sleep. We are so happy that he is a good sleeper and napper.
He's showing an interest in the toilet, and we have a Potty Seat his size, but he doesn't like to sit on it, yet. We have a couple books about going Potty and he likes those a lot, but isn't ready to sit on the potty. We are going to be patient and not push it.
I'm also happy to report that he has been doing great with all dairy products now, and drinks 6 oz of Whole Milk with each meal - 5 oz Cow's Milk, + 1 oz Goat's Milk. We have been transitioning off the Goat's Milk and he'll be 100% Cow's Milk as soon as the last of this carton of Goat's milk is gone. :) YAY!! He likes cheese, too!
