Tonka Trucks

I used to feed bad that my kid had all these plastic trucks.

I remember fondly playing with my big steel trucks, and felt like he was missing out. My brother agreed and bought him a nice big steel Tonka truck

All was well and good, until this morning, when my little guy decided he wanted the truck downstairs.

Being big and heavy it threw him off balance while he went down the stairs.

Being steel, well lets say his head isn't, and I don't think you need to guess who won that battle.

Maybe plastic Tonka trucks are ok.

Markers

Littleman started playing with markers today.

He doesn't have the strength to close them, and that just wasn't acceptable.

He decided the best solution was to place the cap, and hammer it in place. Kind of odd, but at least the markers are closed.

He's Got a Cold

He's 22 months old very smart and has a cold.

What this means is lots of snot, but he can blow his own nose, which is VERY convenient.

Unfortunately he likes to use 4-8 sheets of tissue each and every time. I think I'm gonna go broke.

Up and Open

He doesn't quite understand up or open.

He'll say up to be picked up, and up to be put down.

He'll say open to open something, or open to close something.

I think he sees up and open as toggle "vertical status" or "product coverage".

It's kinda funnty

He's made of snot

He's sick, and snotty.

I've seen snotty kids before, but this is ridiculous.

He's just drenched, unlike other toddlers he will blow his nose if you hold it up, I'm going through a box or more a day.

There is just too much snot!!!!

Happy

Todays word was happy.

We went to the mall, he wanted a happy face balloon. We regularly get the foil balloons from the dollar store, he thinks they're hilarious.

He also got some happy face stickers from the Walmart Greeter, he loves stickers.

He was a smiling guy all day, makes ME happy too.

Cut popsicles

He's decided he likes popsicles.
He also thinks that on the stick is somehow unacceptable.

Now when he wants a popsicle he says pop, and signs popsicle, then says "cut". Meaning he wants it cut up into sections and thrown in a bowl. He loves to eat them this way, which is fine, but his hands are a rainbow of food colouring. Looks a little funny, but toddlers often do.
