You got your wings!

So tonight, as soon as Daddy got home from work, you asked Daddy for your wings back. He handed you your wings and you accepted them and put them in your pocket and said, "Thank you, Daddy. I put dem in my pocket."

You are beyond adorable!

Wings?

Last night, while you were taking a bath, you were lying on your belly with your head out of the water sloshing back and forth when you announced, "I can't get up."
Mommy: you can't get up?
You: No.
M: Why not?
Y: I don't have my wings.
M: Wings? I didn't know you had wings.
Y: Yeah, I lost dem.
M: Where did they go?
Y: Daddy take dem.
M: Well, we will ask Daddy for them when he gets home (he was at a soccer game). I didn't know you had wings.
Y: Yeth, Mommy, member? At [mumble something I can't understand].
M: At where? Take your binky out so I can understand you.
Y: [Blop goes the binky]. Member at Grantie Sue's?
M: Grantie Sue's?
Y: Yeth, when I would fly over Bobby and Rilyn?
M: [with a shocked look on my face because it can't really be that you remember me holding you flying over Bobby and Rilyn, and counters and couches, etc at Grantie Sue's when you were only 1 year old]
Yes, I remember when I would fly you over Bobby and Rilyn at Grantie Sue's.
Y: Yeah...and I had wings when I fly over Bobby and Riyln and tings at Grantie Sue's.
M: Oh, well we will definitely need to get those back.
Y: Yes, we will.
M: So, in the meantime, can you use your legs to get out of the bathtub?
Y: [enthusiastically] Oh...yeth, I can.
M: Whew!

Several times, when I would pick you up from Grantie Sue's after work, I would hold you in my arms in a Superman hold and "fly" you around Grantie Sue's. You loved it. And, apparently, at 2 1/2, you still remember it from when you were only one. You are amazing!

I love you too, Mommy!

Tonight was the first time you said, "I love you too, Mommy!

We were at the Aguiar's for Thanksgiving. We had to change your diaper so we went to a back room. I sat on the floor and said, "Lay down right here and let's change your diaper."
Then you walked over and I said, "Hi Kyle."
You said, "Hi Mommy."
I said, "I love you."
Then you said, "I love you too, Mommy."

Melted my heart on the spot.

Story Telling

Your vocabulary is growing like crazy and sometimes you get into what I call "story-telling mode" where you tell a story about something so that you can use as many words as possible. They don't always make sense, but they are SO cute. You'll string phrases together like "Oni come downtair and eh eh den I went bang and eh eh go outtide eh eh watch dye-do twain." The eh eh's are where you are inserting words that you don't know yet. That's very cute too.

Tonight you were in a story-telling mood while you and I were reading books before bedtime. We were in your room and you were reading the truck book very enthusiastically, picking out all the trucks and relating many of them to Bob, the builder.

One of your stories was to tell me about the bulldozer on your wall. You said, "Daddy paint my bulldozer and a made me happy!" You are so adorable!

I texted this to Daddy as he's at a soccer game. You are going to make his night!

Potty Training

Today was definitely a momentous occasion! You peed in the potty for the first time! Yep, you're going to LOVE this post when you're older! On the advice of Ms. Tracy, your "schoolhouse" teacher, I started having you sit on the potty as part of your bath time routine. Up until that point, I had simply asked if you wanted to sit on the potty before bath - to which you would say no and then pee in the tub the second I would place you in it. It's a game, you think it's hysterical! Tonight was only the second time...and you did it! You peed in the potty! Way to go, Kyle! :) We called Daddy upstairs to show him and you beamed with pride!

You are so polite!

So, in the last couple of days you have started saying, "Tank you, Mommy," and "Tank you, Daddy," whenever we give you something you ask for! It's SO cute!

Words, words, and more words!

I can't believe how fast your vocabulary is growing! This morning we played PBS Kids Online. We played one of your favorite games, find Spud (from Bob the Builder). We've played it a dozen times, but this time, you pointed out and named each of the things that were stuck to Lofty or Rolly. You named daisies, rocks, water, peas, sunflowers, dirt, leaves, flowers (lilypads), and trees. Then, you were able to match them up with the correct path using more than one of the things to match the path. Up until today, you always matched the correct path as soon as you found one of the things, but then you would stop looking as soon as you found one. The harder levels contain one thing in a couple of different paths so that you have to match up all three things. And today, you were a pro at it! I've said it a thousand times...you amaze me!
