TEN Things Right Now – SILAS

TEN Things Right Now – Silas

1. LOVES his monkey. (There are times that we've "LOST" monkey at nap/bedtime and had wished that we had a spare. We TRY to keep monkey out of the kitchen and bathroom so he doesn't get dirty. Lately, we're TRYING to keep monkey upstairs in the bedroom so we don't have to search for him so often.) We've noticed that Silas waves monkey in the air over his head sometimes when he's trying to fall asleep. Other times, we've noticed that he puts monkey over his eyes to block out the light. He absolutely love, Love, LOVES his monkey blankie. (Technically, it was a baby gift that we received when Sydney was born, but Sydney never grew attached to ANY sort of lovie.) Silas adopted this monkey when he was quite little and LOVES it! We have a picture of Uncle Mike snuggling with the monkey blankie when SYDNEY was very little.
2. Temper tantrums come with age; he's TWO now!
3. Requests to watch Bob the Builder as soon as he wakes up.
4. Started expressing some interest in potty training; wants to wears diapers, but tells us when he has to go POOP (means #1 or #2). Wears Pampers Sz. 5 during the day, Sz. 6 Pampers Extra Protection during the night. Wakes dry in the morning a few times per week. Pees on the toilet before a bath or a shower. Started wanting to go to the bathroom at the library, Target and Sam's Club lately when we are running errands.
5. LOVES to eat strawberries from our garden; he even eats them when they are green! (Little stinker.) We're just starting to get Sun Gold tomatoes now... he's starting to pick green ones... no surprise there! It's hard to wait for them to ripen when you KNOW how yummy they are!
6. Enjoys being OUTSIDE and being a HELPER!
7. Has NO FEAR at the pool.
8. Eats (and likes) almost everything!
9. Points out construction sites and construction equipment whenever we're driving. Announces whenever he sees a Bull-da-BO-zer (bulldozer). Started correcting Mommy when she calls EVERYTHING a "Digger".
10. Almost always smiling and is THE FRIENDLIEST KID you've ever met!!!
