Static Hair

Target and GREEN!!!

You dressed yourself and picked out your own clothes the other day. ALL GREEN! Wow.

We headed to target and road the train and grabbed lunch. All in all, keeping out of the house for the painters and having a good time.

Little Pieces

Here are some little pieces of what has been going on lately

- you are doing things "all by myself" from putting on clothes to getting in your car seat. I love that you want to learn these skills. You can do so much more than people give you credit for.

- you actually pooped in the potty this week! Only once but it was a big milestone. Sitting in tub sometimes you will tell me "I have poo poo coming out my tushie" so at that point we move to the potty. You grunt like an old man why I try to keep you sitting still on the pot with a few stories.

- Last night as you were on the pot during bath time i started in on a story and you said "Mama I can't hear you down here, I am trying to poo poo" and I DIED! you wanted quite! So i obliged.

- You love to try to tell stories. Mama I want to read you a book "Once upon a time" "The End"

- Every single time I get you in or out of the car seat you talk about the chest strap buckle I fixed about a month and a half ago. "You fixed this for me Mama!" yes honey I did. We have this conversation about 4 times MINIMUM a day.

- You have gotten back on the "Will you be my best friend" question kick. I tell you "Always" now you have started to say the same.

- This is my favorite toy ever! adding Favorite to anything is another extreme you are now talking about. It is so sweet.

- You talk about times Mommy was frustrated with things and how it is bad when Roscoe pee peed in the house. I wish Roscoe would learn so quickly.

- You love pirates! From Captain Hook to the pirate book we got you for Easter, everything is Ahoy! and Mateys away! or Walk the Plank!

- Eating habits have increased. You eat almost everything I put in front of you. I get some veg in your diet now which I LOVE. Even if the raw carrots are dipped in ketchup.

- You are going to start napping at school this week. Increasing your time there so when the baby arrives you will have more time to yourself and we can balance our chaos for a while a tad better.

- You are getting the concept of baby. At least what we are talking about. You have met a few, tickled a few toes and when we ask you what noise babies make you give out a "WAHHHHH" cry face. You ask Ash to "Come out Soon" and when we went to the doctor you told everyone you wanted your baby brother to come out soon and we were there to see when we could come out. You hug my belly and sometimes kiss it. You felt him move the other day and giggled with excitement. It was so sweet. The car seat is in the car and we talk about who is going to sit there etc. I hope that your adjustment will be easy for you. I don't care how hard you make it on us. I just want to make sure you still feel as loved as you are and as special as you make everyday.
