Play time & Bath time

I haven’t been good at posting pics lately, so I thought I’d just post a few of some random happenings around our house. Seems like we’ve been keeping busy lately. Our days off seem to get filled with a playdate or some other event. This particular day, Will wanted to help with the yard. Believe me Will, if daddy could let you mow it – he would!

Lately, Will has been a bit of a handful. He’s officially hit the tantrums associated with the terrible twos. He’s been doing this for a few months now. It is hard. No one really prepares you for these things and no one prepares you for figuring out disciplining. We’re at a point where we can’t just excuse him for being too young to know – we have to start doing something. So, we’re trying time out. He’s been in at least once a day since we started! Oh boy. His most annoying new trick is saying No…repeatedly. When he doesn’t want to do something or doesn’t like what’s happening he starts yelling…No, no, no, no, no, no!!! Ugh. Mommy and daddy are not a fan of this. Neither are we a fan of him throwing or hitting when he’s upset. That is one that lands him in the time out chair frequently. It is hard because he’s also at a really, really fun age! He’s learning at a ridiculous pace. His verbal skills have come such a long way and he can communicate really well with us. That is so fun. He is starting to learn to count, learning colors, and shapes a bit. So cute to hear him sing songs. He tries the abc and twinkle twinkle song a lot. He also plays really well with us. His favorite thing is to play chase. We have to chase him, of course. He frequently says…Get me! So cute! He also doesn’t like to be alone right now. He used to play really well in his play area but now he needs someone right there with him at all times. Not sure why. He frequently is saying Mommy sit down! Or Daddy sit down! When he falls down, Kevin has taught him to say “Safe!”. Hilarious! He seems to like baseball and if he isn’t really hurt, he’ll do it. He plays hard and he seems to go non-stop. Wears me out watching him. Wish I had that energy. He plays with cars all the time. He’s such a boy. Cars, trains, trucks, etc. I thought he would love this spray toy for the yard, but he wasn’t too sure about doing it on his own. Kevin had to help him get wet. Eventually he warmed up a bit but seemed to need Kevin holding him to enjoy it. Silly boy.

I hadn’t done a bath pic in awhile, so here one is! He’s growing up so stinking fast. He actually has a lot of bath toys, but seems to love playing with the boat the most. Sweet boy saying Cheese! Love him to pieces!
