The Frog Tent

A couple years ago Auntie Kelly purchased a frog tent for Adam. Yesterday he unearthed it in his room. He asked me to assemble it, so I thought why not! I had been holding onto it for a rainy day, and since we have been stuck in doors for the last few weeks I figured it was an opportune time to take it out.

Well, that was the best idea ever. This thing is about 5 feet x 4 feet. You can fit Adam, me and Jeremy into with room to spare! Goober sleeps in it plays in it and likes to have "mommallows" (marshmallows) in it. So THANK YOU AUNTIE KELLY!

For the love of Oswald

My son never stops. He is either playing talking or running. Except for one hour a day when Oswald comes on Noggin. He actually reminds me to turn the station if we don't have it on!

This my typical 9 am hour...which equal peace and quiet for mommie

The verge of potty training...you think!

Last night Goober took it upon himself to call me into his room at 3 am. The conversation went as such:

Me: Goober are you ok

Goober: Stinky, Icky, Potty, Off! (now repeat this is very aggravated manner)

Me: Your diaper is just find (I do the usual squeeze test)

Goober: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Me: Ok I'll change you (I do so)

Goober: Otay

Then he is asleep before I get out of his door...I guess it is time to try again. =)

The Terrible Twos

I do believe I am now experiencing the TERRIBLE TWOS, only it is in a way that only Goober could decide to do it. As you all know what had the backpack incident last week. Well this time it was the hat/sunglasses issue. It all started yesterday. It was 78 degrees out and sunny. So we put our sunglasses on and a hat to play outside. When it was finally time to go to bed. I got Goober into his PJ's and said for him to take his hat off. NO! This in sued for about 10 minutes until I gave up. He fell asleep instantly.

An our later I tiptoed into his room to remove the glasses and hat. As soon as I touched them he woke up screaming. Not a polite cry, no the type that makes the neighbors call the police because yo are beating your child cry. Back his hat and glasses went on. He woke up 3 times during the night and wanted me to come in and fix his glasses or hat.

At breakfast, well let me just say the hat came off, but the glasses stayed.

Man he is stubborn. I sure don't know where he gets that from? =)

Spring Fever....Goober Style

Adam has spring fever, like the rest of us. He wants to go outside and run and play, unfortunately the weather has not been too cooperative. Today we managed to walk back from dropping the car off to get repairs. That is a 4 block stroll, that took about 45 minutes to accomplish. We then walked to the post office. Apparently this wasn't enough for him! He insisted that I put his backpack on...then a fit ensued at the door until I mentioned nap time. Then he told me, "NO NAP!" I told him yes. "ELMO! ELMO!" I put 2 and 2 together. So down he went with the back pack. The kid never stops amazing me with his stubbornness!

Here he is trying to escape out the door...

Here he is being tucked in, notice the cheese grin. Gotta love that stage!

Here is the final result.....

After the nap what else was there to do, but eat a snack, with the backpack on. DUH!

Lunch with Goober

Today Adam and I were eating lunch and chatting away the best that a 31 year old and a 2 year old can, when this dialogue came up. Now mind you Adam for some reason has started calling his daddy Jeremy...

Adam: Where's Jeremy?

Me: He's at work.

Adam: Oh really!

Just to add to this every word was completely formed. I felt like I was talking to an adult...This kids vocabulary never stops amazing me.
