My do it. Watch tractors me!

Toddlerhood is definitely happening in our house. Anderson wants to do everything himself. We have to let him climb in his booster seat at the table (I can't even hold the chair to keep it stable), get in the tub himself, climb in the car and into his seat AND let him buckle the straps, put his pants on, etc., etc. He says, "My do it!", "Aesson do it!" or "You do it!" This last phrase is because I ask him, "Do you want to do it or do you want Bobble to?" Ha. Lately he has started putting his patch on himself. He has to pick out his own color & then he runs & hides somewhere while he puts it on. This sounds sweet and helpful. Sometimes (see above) he does a pretty good job, but the times he doesn't can be a bit rough because he refuses to let me help. Love his little heart. And, no matter who puts it on, it lasts about a minute. You know, give or take 60 seconds.

Riding his bike with Dad. There's that moon again! Obsessed.

In an effort to calm the Grumpiness last week when he was sick, we went to McDonald's for ice cream where he had to eat the cone himself. He doesn't really "eat" so he mostly just played with it.Check out the personalized train shirt from GG! He is really, really into trains lately. Anything in the transportation realm, really.

The toddler bed. Once we could no longer ignore the fact that he can climb out, we switched it. He was hilarious & so confused. He kept looking through the slats for the other side. He was very excited and kept saying, "big boy bed!"

*pillowcase was free from inkgarden.com! use code forfree. (I think it works through December) I did pay for shipping, but how cute is it??

He did really well the first night & went to bed after just a few times of us putting him back in bed. Then, in the middle of the night, I hear, "Watch tractors me!" Um, no. It is not even 3am. He looked so cute just standing in the hallway. But, he wasn't so cute when we were still awake 3 hours later. I bought a doorknob cover that day. So far, so good (knock on wood...) with the bed. He does wake up earlier (5:30), and is very loud at the door! He has woken up once or twice each night & is really confused, yelling for me & then just looking kind of lost when I check on him.

Playdate with Jack! I love going to Clare's because Jack has all of these great toys so the boys play & we actually get to talk! Contrary to popular belief, we never actually see each other at work-teaching does not involve a lot of down time-so it's nice to catch up. How stinkin cute is Jack's hair?

I left the water running when I was about to shower and as I got a towel this happened. Diaper, glasses, patch, dump truck....

I love this kid.

And, here is yet another high quality, focused video that does not have my voice really loud in the background.
