Statement of the Morning

Little guy wakes up from a dead sleep stretches his arms and proclaims "I BIG ENOUGH!" Then he repeats, "I big enough just like Daddy!". Then he proceeds to fall right back to sleep. 

A Change in Routine

My little guy is all about routine. He likes things a certain way. We aren't on a tight schedule or anything like that but he just has his particulars. For instance, when we leave daycare each day he goes to the water fountain and fills up, then off to the bowl of suckers behind the counter ( for the last 10 months he always picks the same flavor... ALWAYS), the he takes a ride on the little push Merri-go-round they have at daycare (he only likes to go around once and always puts it back in the same spot when he finishes), then we go to the car. He rarely eats his suckers but when he does he hands me the paper wrapper.

So yesterday I pick him up at daycare and we skip the fountain...no biggie.... he goes to the candy bowl and picks out two totally new flavors and hands me one. "This is for you Mommy!" I am just in shock that he picked out two different flavors. My whole console in my car is filled with suckers that are the exact same flavor. The truly amazing part is that he ate the sucker he got. I figured he would try it and say "OOOOh Yucky!" They keep you on your toes.

Baby

This morning while getting my son ready for daycare he tells me, "We need baby!" He then points out "Mommy I need baby sisser!". I ask him if he knows what a baby sister is. "Baby sisser is girl baby." So he tells me again " Mommy I need baby sisser." Daddy comes in the room and says are you sure you want a sister and not a brother? "I want baby sisser, no need brover!"

I guess he is more ready to have an addition to the family than I am. LOL

The Sun

My son goes to bed by the Sun and as he likes to say "I wake up with the Sun!" Lately he is very curious about the Sun. He is constantly asking if the Sun is out or if it is going Night Night. Today in the car it was overcast but still bright out. 

Son: "I want to give the Sun a hug!" 

Mommy: "Why does the Sun need a hug?"

Son: "The sun is very sad!"

Mommy: "Why is the Sun sad?"

Son: "He is hiding behind the clouds!"

Mommy: "What made him unhappy?"

Son: "He crying like a baby! He need a hug to make him happy again!"

Then he went on to talk about something else. Just one of those cute little conversations.

Snakes In the Carpet

A week or so ago at daycare a bunch of kids were pulling up the circle time carpet rug (you know the rugs with all the letters and pictures on them). Well the teacher got tired of them picking up the rug and told them "Watch out for the snakes under the rug!". I bet you can imagine all of the fun I have had with this one. Every where we go my son tells me "Mommy, Look out snake!". The other night we were sitting in the living room on the couch and with his feet in the air he says to me "Snakes in our rug Mommy!". Then about 11:30pm he wakes up and walks down the hall to find me. In his half asleep manner he says to me "Mommy, lip hurts snake bit it. Still in mouth, get it out!" So I pretend to remove a snake from his mouth and give him a kiss on the forehead. We go back to his room and after telling me Thank you! he immediately falls back to sleep. So now he sees snakes everywhere and dreams that they bite him. Remind me to thank the teacher. On the up side he doesn't pick up the carpet in our living room.

Gym Party

To get my son to go stay at our gym's daycare we told him from the beginning that he was going to a gym party. We figured if we told him it was a party he would want to go and wouldn't be as unsure of it. It worked beautifully. In the last 3-4 months I would say he has been @ 4 times. So we don't bring him often, usually my hubby watches him while I am at the gym. Today hubby had to work late so it was time for a trip to the gym party. He usually gets really excited and he really likes it. Today he tells me "I no want go to gym party! There are zombies at the gym party!" Me: "There are what at the gym party?" Son: " Zombies Mommy, There are zombies at the gym party!" LOL...As soon as we got there and he saw there was a cartoon on the big TV he took of running to go have fun at the gym party. So I guess the zombies didn't stick around.

I know if you read my other blog it is pretty much the same post, but bear with me.
