Hubby T: Do the Eagles score touchdowns?
Baby B: Yes!
Hubby T: Yes! Do the Redskins score touchdowns?
Baby B: Yes!
Hubby T: No! Do the Cowboys score touchdowns?
Baby B: Yes!
Hubby T: No! Do the Giants score touchdowns?
Baby B: Yes!
Hubby T: Only when they are playing the Redskins or Cowboys.
(No offense to all our Redskins, Cowboys or Giants fans out there...and no, there's no need to retaliate by commenting on the validity of the idea of Eagles scoring touchdowns this season *deep sigh* we know.)
So glad I have a sports loving husband around to teach our son a completely non-biased view of the sports world...And now for some random updates on what life with our 20 month old is like!
As of this morning I decreed that we are no longer making toast or pb&j sandwiches for Baby B, at least for now, because all he does is use his finger to lick off the peanut butter and then refuses to eat the bread. Not cool kiddo, not cool...also not cool? Refusing to eat any of the food I made for his lunch and then wanting to eat mine. But that's okay, mommys don't need to eat right?!
Favorite books - the list keeps growing!! As of today his favorite books include Curious George & the Hot Air Balloon (going back to the library tomorrow, thank goodness!), Pinkalicious, Love You Forever, Do Princesses Really Kiss Frogs, and Clifford the Big Red Dog and the Grouchy Neighbors. This might seem like a lot of books to be his favorites, so it might not seem that daunting a concept to be asked to read them over and over...but just ask Hubby T how many times he read Pinkalicious before bed last night. Good thing we have grandparents lined up to babysit in the next few weeks:) Oh, and his other favorites books? Anything with tabs!
And just in case you looked at this picture and thought, oh how sweet, they're sitting there together reading so peacefully...think again. This picture was take 2. Take 1 was not so pretty...
*Another deep sigh* Yes, I have a couple of pushers on my hands, and grabbers. It can be so infuriating to tell Baby B, "Baby D is playing with that right now. Wait until he's done and then you can have a turn." and then watch him turn around and grab what he wants. He doesn't always do this, and I think I've said it enough times that he's starting to grasp the concept of his turn/my turn, but it's definitely not an easy road. I may need to pick up some parenting books to read up on how to handle these issues soon.
Cheerios are still one of his favorite foods...and this is what happens when you open the pantry to put groceries away and stop paying attention to Baby B -
Slinkys are super fun (if I can convince both of them to share) -
And despite my deep sighs, I'm still having a blast with these two. I mean, come on, who could stay frustrated with this face for long?
Okay, time to go bake some Trader Joe's Pumpkin Bread to fill the lunch-deprived stomach of this happy mama:) Baby B has been working hard on saying the alphabet and numbers...I'll try and get some of it on film to post soon!!
