Our little helper...

Our little Sean is the best little helper! Whether he is putting away wash clothes or toys, dusting or unfolding laundry, he does the best he can at all times! Tonight we had him help us decorate the Christmas tree, and he loved every minute of it! There is one perfect section where he placed all of the ornaments that he could, multiple ones on one branch! Just precious! What an exciting and amazing Christmas this year. He is noticing everything and loves to see all the lights and decorations. I wish for this month to last long enough so we can enjoy all the beautiful things and the magic of the season! Life just gets better and better!

Crayons

We had Braeden and Emma over this weekend for a little sleepover. Oh what fun it was! Graham, Sean, and I went out on Saturday to stock up on the good stuff. We got new coloring books and crayons for all three. Well, we bought Braeden and Emma's coloring things separately and Sean's was a package deal with the big fat crayons. I should have known that he would've wanted the "normal" crayons I got for his cousins. He tried to get theirs the whole time, not enjoying his big fat ones at all! What a bad mom! Of course the cousins didn't want to share their brand new, pointy, beautiful crayons with a crazy 1 1/2 year old who might eat them and/or break them for fun! Needless to say, I bought him some "normal" crayons today. It was so fun to see his expression of disbelief! He kept handing them to Graham and saying "Emma," and we had the joy of telling him that they were his! He played and played with them; colored, sorted, lined them up, pushed them on the floor, boxed them up, dumped them out, etc. Loads and loads of entertainment. Who would've thought!

The F Word...

It has happened. The F Word yelled loud and proud out in public. We know it wasn't used in vein. We think that it is a name for something; a big truck, a star, something that is stuck. Right now we are hoping that the people at Best Buy forgive our foul-mouthed son! How embarrassing! We couldn't help but laugh under our breath at this. He is so innocent!

PS: He has also gone peepee in the potty 3 times! Most of it made it into the potty, too!

Potty Training?

Two nights ago, Sean went potty on the potty!! Well, not really in the potty, more like all around it with a little in it. He sits on his fun potty before he gets into the tub...we got lucky and made a huge deal out of it. I am hoping it will happen again soon, so we can start encouraging it. So much excitement over a little pee. Life has changed.

"Eat Food"

Last night I was upstairs cleaning up after dinner and Graham had Sean downstairs playing with him. Well, I hear "something" dropping into the dogs' food dish. Thinking it was just toys, I ignored it for a minute. It kept happening, so I went to check it out. There was Sean feeding Gus (who NEVER misses a meal or extra snack). He was taking a handful of food from the closet and walking to the food dish, repeatedly. Gus, tail waging and all, lapped up every morsel. I asked him what he was doing, and he said "Eat Food." Way too cute!

Doots and Itches

Well, Sean had to say goodbye to the "doots and itches" today (spooks and witches). Again, cracks us up! My mom has these figurines out on the driveway and every morning and afternoon he kisses them and talks to them. I am so glad Christmas is coming so that he will have more fun to see/do. I feel sad for him since all the "doots and itches" are getting put away for the year. Poor buddy.

Dancing

I love watching "Dancing with the Stars," and what makes it even better is that my son loves to dance when they are dancing on tv! Cracks me up! He has a blast, we even clap when the song is over. A great way to wear him out before bed, or at least try to wear him out.
