Much to Ryan's chagrin, we did not leave the house today. Well... we went out to the yard. Does that count? No... okay. We cleaned some today- mostly our bedroom which is always a disaster. But just like that, it will and can get messed up again. We did manage to make the bed though! I don't really know what we did this morning to be honest. I made pancakes.... uh... Ryan made a "fan page" for me on Facebook for my photography... uh... hmm. Yah... not much.
After his nap, Ben colored in his highchair and played with play-dough for like 2 hours. I know it sounds horrible or rather that we're horrible parents- but I kept trying to get him out and he didn't want to! He wanted to play with the play-dough! Plus we were cooking and he likes to hang out in the kitchen with us while we do that. He likes to show us all the things he creates with his play-dough like "pancakes" and "flowers". He says "look Mommy! A flower!" or "look Mommy! A 'pider!" He could have probably played with it all night, I actually had to take it away from him to feed him and he didn't like that.
After dinner we took him out to the driveway and played in the water. I mostly sprayed him and Ryan and that was good enough. Tomorrow we go to the pool with some friends, I heard there's a slide! So that should be fun. We plan on hopefully going to the Zoo on Friday too.
On the side... I can't get over just how smart our little guy is. He's learning his colors really well. He sings the alphabet in his muddled way all the time, oh and "Happy Birthday to ___ (fill in the blank)" too. He counts a lot, even if it's not in chronological order all the time. Once he gets past 5 or 6 he mixes numbers up and stuff- but he knows them! Tonight, when I asked Ryan what time it was- Ben was on my lap and got in my face to answer me "two tweddy" or something to that affect. But he knew what I was asking! He almost always answers "ya" to everything. Even when he throws stuff and he knows he's not supposed to and I ask if that was nice. And lately... in order for us to give him something or in the case of this week, go "swimmin'" he says to me "Mommy, I wanna be nice... I be nice." Ha ha! So cute. If he's in time out in his bedroom he'll say "All finished" when he feels like he's learned his lesson. It's hard not to let him just be finished! Ryan sent me a picture yesterday while I was at the dentist of Ben stacking books on top of another to make a tower. Ryan kept saying "This kid's a genius!" Well, of course we think he is. Maybe he'll grow up to make lots of money so he can support us. :) He already has $40.20 in his piggy bank... so hey! Anything is possible! (I swear the house looks messier than it really was...).jpg)
He's definitely becoming a handful... very 2 years old. Love the tantrums. Mmm-hmm, sure do. (can you sense the sarcasm in my tone?) He fortunately knows my "looks" when he has pushed me too far, but he's also becoming smart about figuring out how to change the subject or something... kinda like his dad. Hmmm... interesting! He also is starting to tell on people, like Ally (the dog) for one! "Mommy, Ally's kicking me..." "Mommy Ally hittin' me". He is so fun though. He plays really well for the most part but gets bored pretty easy if he's not doing something to keep his mind going. (Hence the 2 hour stint in the high chair today!) He watches a lot... and you can see the little wheels turning in his head. He's very observant that little one. I just love him to pieces!
Okay, it's past my bedtime... even for vacation. Night all!
