Apparently, my camera has been on strike lately. I haven't been taking mad pictures like usual. I am going to have to work out a deal with my camera. I am sure all talk and no pictures gets boring. Who wants to read a book with no pictures, right?
My precious little baby has turned into a super cute toddler. I loved having a precious little baby, but I am also loving my toddler. Tantrums and all. I have been trying to teach Colter to throw things away for a while now. I finally got him to throw away his diaper. He was so proud, that he pulled it back out of the garbage and had to throw it away again. And again, and again. Later that day, we decided to go bye bye. I was try to get his socks and shoes on and of course, he thought it was more fun to throw his shoes around. I told him to go get his shoe and bring it to me so we could go bye bye and he actually did it. I was so proud.
Colter has really been picking up words, so its really time to start watching what we say. His dad was nice enough to teach him poo poo. Thanks to Dad, every time you go into the bathroom, Colter will announce if for you. He also thinks he is being funny by knocking on the bathroom door and yelling poo poo.
Tips that you need to know.......
Certain words should not be used unless you really intend to do them. Words like sleepy, nite nite and bed, will send him running to the gate on the stairs yelling bye bye. If you do not put him to bed, you will witness a real meltdown. I have never heard of a kid wanting to go to bed. Leave it to mine to be different. Bath and bye bye are also to be used only if you plan on doing them. So please choose your words wisely if you are visiting.
Happy thursday ya'll!

I always like to read your story's about how Colter is changing! They do really pick up alot around his age (it's amazing)!
Colter and Caymen are pretty much the same age. It's so fun to read about what Colter is doing. Caymen also enjoys going bye-bye, baths and going night-night. We have learned not to say those things unless we mean them. Telling a 5 year old is a different story~
Well, you're not alone in the "wanna go to bed department". Taryn has always begged us to go to bed, even now, she asks if she can go to bed. It's quite funny coming from a 12 year old. Anyway, enjoy it because I love it when the kids are in bed. Quiet time for me!
So true!! Do not tell Alec it's bathtime unless you plan on following through! Same with bedtime and "go bye-bye". I think it's hilarious!
And yes, I have decided it's time to start watching the words that come out of my mouth...Didn't realize that'd be such an issue!!
I'm glad he's doing so many fun things. Watching him grow is awesome.
Oh Colter! He is getting so big! I had to chuckle at the throwing away thing! This weekend Micah was into throwing everything away at grandma and Grandpa's! Including things that shouldn't be! OPPS!
We are creating monsters and we don't even know it!! LOL..
To cute on the bed and bath! I can just see him running over to the gate and looking at you like, OK, LETS GO!! LOL
