Favorites

My favorite things about B right now...

(Look - he has no neck! He looks like a turtle. With huge head.)

-I love that he is ticklish on his neck. It was the only way I could keep him awake for feedings when he was a newborn.

-He always stands up in the bathtub for me when I need to clean his bum - every time, no fail. So endearing, although I'm not sure why.

-When I'm in the bathroom and have the door locked, he shouts through the door, "What you doin, Mama?" over and over agin.

-If I don't understand him and ask him what he is talking about, he responds with "What you talking about, Willis?". It's hilarious.

-He loves throwing away things in the trash for me when I ask. And throws away tiny things he finds on the floor, like food. I'm not sure how long this is going to last, but I like it.

-If he wets through his diaper and p.j.'s, he will start yelling from his bedroom, "I'm all wet! I'm soaked!" until we go fix the problem.

- He sings/chants No more monkeys jumping on the bed when he jumps on beds or couches. See evidence here. And yes, that is me lounging very un-lady like in the backround.

-He has been great about taking naps lately. Thank goodness, because I need those naps just as much as he does these days.

-He gets on the ground and informs me he is doing push-ups, "like Daddy". He actually does semi-girl push-ups, too.

(B "fixing" his bike with his fake tools. He just started doing this one day.)

I had to write this list because he has an equally long list in the terrible twos department. Seriously - this kid has been a breeze ever since the minute he was born and then he turned two. I know he could be worse, but it has been trying me! At least the good/bad list of things he does is equal, so the good can weigh out the bad.

(As for the lack of posts lately: Our computer at home has oficially crashed. It's dead this time. That means no internet for me until Dave gets home from school at night, and usually that is a crazy time for me - dinner, cleaning dinner, bath time, bed time...you get the picture.)

So cute! I especially like the "What you talking about Willis" one :)

Oh man, I thought I was the only one that said that to my kids. Jack is too young to know what I'm talking about. Good times, good times.

I love it. Who taught him about Willis? and I love that he yells, "I'm Soaked," like some kind of comedian trying to get his point across in as many different ways as possible.
