Christmas Tree Shopping
BB didn't get to participate in Christmas tree shopping last year, so I was excited to see what he'd do when we went this year. The answer? Not much. He was kinda skeptical of the situation.Once we got the tree up, however, he was excited - oooing and ahhing every time he sees it!
Someone is Teaching BB Stuff
Last night, during an impromptu dance party, I learned that BB knows Ring Around the Rosie. He had to have learned it at Child Care, which is great, but kinda sad, too. I was so surprised/excited when he fell down on his own, but then I was a teensy tiny bit sad. Shouldn't I be the one to teach him that? I know I can't teach him everything, but it's kinda weird knowing that he already knows things I don't know he knows.(This is probably the most non-sensical post I've ever written.)
What's Up?
We have a very ornery son. He's a goofball. A funny, happy, energetic goofball. I'm pretty sure he takes after his dad in that sense.
He likes to read:
and play in dirt:

He's in that awkward clothes stage where 18-months clothes are small and 24-month clothes are big. He's starting to like to wrestle and purposefully fall off the bed or couch. Yesterday, while wrestling, he licked my nose. Not sure why he did it, but it cracked me up, so he kept doing it. He likes to make people laugh.
He's starting to watch some cartoons in the morning. Right now it's just Timmy Time and Special Agent Oso. We watch them with him while we're getting ready in the morning and ask him to find things on screen, like a ball or bike or dog.
Billy still loves books, but he's starting to like toys. He got some fun new-to-him things this weekend that he loves - especially trucks, which joined us for dinner the other night.
He can get moody if he doesn't get his way - or when he's getting dropped off at Child Care in the morning - but so far it's very manageable, normal toddler stuff.
He's had a very exciting fall. He's fed a deer and some goats, met some llamas, rode a pony, met a bunch of relatives and ate candy corn for the first time. He's also developed a liking of Elmo, who he calls Melmo.
He also has a lot of stuff on tap - Thanksgiving at the lake, Christmas, snow, Santa. It's going to be a pretty great winter!
