Just thought I'd post some of my favorite pictures and stories from the past few months...
We have found a passion for books! Thank goodness the stage of getting ALL of them out only lasted a few weeks! He has his favorites, mostly ones with farm animals and an ISU book where we find Cy on every page. So this leads to my farm animal story. We have been working with him on animals, and he had done a pretty good job of repeating sounds when you say them, and had started to even say them on his own. He is good at cow, lion, sheep, monkey, rooster, and turkey. So we went to church one Sunday and he started getting fidgety, so I pulled out a book and opened it, and automatically he looked at the cow and went "moo" - right in the middle of a prayer! I had no idea he knew the picture-sound association. I quickly turned the page and to my surprise, "Baa!" Andrew quickly hissed for me to change the book!!!
Along with the animal sound theme...we were sitting on the deck a few days ago and he pointed to the house and went "neigh"...I was pretty confused on what he was wanting or trying to say until I saw what he was pointing at - our Swedish horse with our name on it! I give him credit knowing that was a horse!!!
He was struggling with eating anything while sick so when he wanted to eat the pudding by himself, of course we let him!
Ok - so one of his favorite words & foods is Banana. Every morning he sees them on the counter and starts begging. So one morning I just grabbed a half of one and handed it to him - and quickly learned that a toddler can shove a half a banana in his mouth and doesn't understand the concept of bites! But he was happy - he got his banana!
Andrew left his fishing pole out and within 5 minutes we had a new fisherman in the house!
Lately I've been trying to finish numerous projects in the house. One is hanging towel rods where you can actually use them in our upstairs spare bathroom. Andrew and Tyler finished this one day while I was out. Andrew said he was drilling holes and Tyler headed to his bedroom. After a minute he came back with his own little drill (Thanks Legion Santa!) and wanted to help! Andrew said he was so proud that he had the same tool dad did!
