What a boy

So I have a boy and boy does he act like a boy. Tayson just loves to play outside. The only thing about how much he loves to play outside that is bad is that he doesn't like to take a time out to come inside and go to the bathroom. Well today he found a solution...








Yup, he dropped his pants and went outside. What a boy!

What a shy little guy!

Yesterday was just BEAUTIFUL and so we spent the majority of our day enjoying the sun shine. Later in the evening, I was inside with Andy and Shaelie and Tayson was still outside riding his bike and playing. He walked into the house and said...

Tayson: Look!
Me: What do you have?
Tayson: A rolly polly! He is a shy little fella! He is sooo shy!
Us trying not to laugh too hard: He is shy huh! Please take him back outside, we don't being bugs in the house.

Tayson then took it back outside. About 5 minutes later he walked back into the house.

Andy: Where is your rolly polly?
Tayson: He's dead!
Andy: He's dead! What happened to him.
Tayson: His head is broken!
Andy: How did his head get broken?
Tayon: I pulled on it!

Well there you go kiddo! No wonder the poor thing was so shy!

No Picking, Mom!

At night we do bathtime and tonight was no different. Tayson's new thing is to give himself rock hair, as he calls it. He spikes his hair in all sorts of weird directions and then says, with rocker hands "rock on." Well tonight I was on bath duty and was sitting in the bathroom watching the kids splash and play. Tayson asked me to close my eyes. Hesitant as to what he would do, I closed my eyes only to have Tayson say, "No picking, no picking!" Yes you read right! That is not a typo! He was trying to say no peeking but picking came out. I thought it was pretty darn cute!

Get me out of here!

So today I had Tayson try and dress himself again...I tell you I am really working on his indepenance. Well he did really good with his pants (he is used to putting these on and off all day thanks to potty time) but the shirt he still struggles with. Well I was watching him and trying with all my might not to assist him while he put on his shirt. He struggled and struggled and finally said in desperation, "Help, mommy help, I can't find my way out! Get me out!" He kept sticking his arms and his head through the same hole at the same time. Well I finally had to cave and help the guy out. (Mind you I was laughing quite hard at this point.) I wouldn't want him to get lost in his own shirt. Good times!

Rasberry Girl

Shaelie's new favorite thing to do is to give kisses, tongue and all. Lucky me huh! It is actually pretty cute! However, sometimes she gives ya a surprise. She will grab your face with both hands and pull you in close (can you sense our excitement...YEA more kisses) and then she gives you a giant rasberry on your cheek or chin. She thinks it's hilarious. She even gives out a giggle. What a funny little girl!

Easily Distracted

I have been trying to get Tayson to be a little more independant since he is getting older. Today I asked him to go and get some underware on after his bath. This is how the conversation happened...
Mom: Tayson, go get some underware on.
Tayson: OK!

5 minutes pass!

Mom: Tayson, what are you doing?
Tayson: Playing!

I walk back to his room, only to find him playing in his birthday suit. Yup, completely nude!

Mom: Where are your underware?
Tayson: I counldn't find any...I tried and tried and tried!

I walk over to his dresser and look in his drawer and yup, there are a ton of underware in the drawer. He oviously didn't look very hard. He must have walked into his room, saw a toy and plopped his bare bum down to play. He is such a guy...easily distracted!
