Bragging......

I have to brag a little bit on Johnny. I bought a Dora activity book yesterday just thinking that he would color and put stickers in it. I tried some of the activities just for fun and he was able to do them all by himself!!! One of them was 3 pictures lined up on the left side of the paper and the same 3 pictures or "shadows" of the pictures were in a different order on the right side of the page and you were supposed to draw a line b/w the pictures that matched. He did it on his own after watching me do it once!!!
The other activity was 4 shapes on a page and it would say "Find the triangle and color it blue" and he would go through all the crayons, find the right color, and then choose the right shape and color in it a little! I didnt' even have to re-read directions so he could remember what shape he was looking for....he could do both steps on his own. The shapes included a pentagon and hexagon, too.  We did both of the activities several times and he loved it.  Very proud mommy! : )

Just Being a Boy....

Johnny has already caught on at 2 1/2 years old that saying poop is apparently hilarious!  He says it in the most random places and sticks it in songs and just laughs and laughs at himself.  Last night he had a chocolate chip cookie and had chocolate on his hands.  He put out his hand and said, "Looks like poop!  Smells like flowers!!"  I started laughing hysterically and he did, too!  I'm still laughing today : )  No idea where in the world he got that from.  Pretty sure that's not anything that Paul & I ever say!  And the boy humor begins.....
