HI fans. I'm a busy man these days and have a lot to say. I wanted to give a brief overview of my fave's in case you haven't been in touch lately.10. I LOVE Thomas the Train, more than any other character, TV show, toy or food. You can convince me to do almost anything if a Thomas train is involved. In fact, most things in life have a Thomas twist: going to Barnes and Nobles means playing with the train table there and behaving well at the dentist earned me a new Skarloey train.
9. Speaking of the dentist, I went for the first time and was incredibly polite. I told mommy I got new teeth...which really just meant they cleaned them up so they are now shiny white again.
8. I often tell my mommy "you look pretty mommy" even when she just wakes up in the morning with messy hair and sloppy PJs.
7. I also say "yes sir" and "yes boss" as daddy says that to me as a joke. Now I repeat it often.
6. Yes, I'm at that stage that I'm repeating everything that is said. I'm quite smart, I received my report card from school and they say that I'm cognitively advanced. I guess doing all those 30-piece puzzles as a two year old and playing games on the iPad has helped.
5. My regular routine is still around daycare and neighborhood play. I hang with the same small crew from daycare and I'm in an older class now. I still love Circle Time but now we have jobs; my favorite is being snack helper.
4. Weekends and some weeknights I hang with neighbors Brady and Charlie. I still love going to "play park" every weekend morning with them. Now Brady and I walk rather than ride in the stroller. I still see Cousins Nick and Sophie a lot. Sophie is a big helper and keeps me occupied when mommy and daddy are working the grill, something that doesn't come naturally for my parents.
3. I still play with the potty; sit on it sometimes, even pee'd once and pooped another time but it isn't a habit yet.
2. While I know I need to start being a professional potty person, mommy and daddy still think of me as a baby even though I'm sooooo big. I don't use my binky at school anymore, just at home before nap and bed. I drink with a big boy cup and can even use adult utensils.
1. Last but certainly not least I'm looking for a summer filled with adventures. Mommy and daddy love to take me to fun kiddie places. Last week's adventure was at the Beardsley Zoo. While I did roar at the lions and bears, I seemed most amused by the water fountain and table umbrellas. I will post soon my most recent adventure in Cleveland to meet baby Cousin Scarlett and see Elliott. Stay tuned for those..and lots of beach stories, too.
