I need to do a post on Parker and all the things I love about his 26 month old self. He's developing into such a big boy, and I want to document some of the my favorite things so I don't forget!
- He loooooves his dad. If dad's not home he'll be talking about him, asking about him, playing with his things until he gets home. And when dad does get home, forget about mom- it's dad dad dad until bedtime.
- He's smart- Parker catches onto things so quickly. He picks up things so fast, and he loves to learn new things.
- He can be extremely stubborn. If he doesn't want to do it- good luck.
- He talks NONSTOP. for real. you think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not. From the moment he wakes up to the moment his head lies down for bed, he's talking. It's exhausting. But cute. His recent phrases are, "My try?" if he wants to try something. If we're playing a game, he will say "pretend" and then go on and tell me what he wants to pretend to be. "Going mom?" to ask where we're going. And if I don't answer right away he will get louder and louder. He occasionally says things like "dang it!" if something doesn't go right. we think it's hilarious.
- My mom recently made him a super- man cape, which he wears all the time and runs thru the house yelling, "Super man!" and says he's flying. '
- If you ask him a question and he doesn't know the answer or he can't remember he'll say, "ummm" while he's trying to think about it.
- He loves his blanky. When he wakes up in the morning and comes in our bed, he brings his blanky and just strokes it while he lays next to us. He says, "it's soft"
- He will basically try any foods- there is nothing he won't eat except salad. He gags on the lettuce leaves. (hopefully he'll outgrow that!)
- He always tells us he needs money to buy a "ball hoop" - we're guessing he's thinking of a big basketball hoop- and apparently he thinks he should have one.
- we recently got 2 kittens, and had to get rid of them because Parker is horribly allergic! so sad. I need to post a picture of him with the kittens.
- He loves water, being naky and he loves cooking with mom. If I'm in the kitchen cooking, he'll come in, push a chair up to the counter while saying, "What 'er you making mom?" it's adorable. He loves to help me cook anything.
