Wordless Wednesday: Reading

Rainy Days

What do you do when your parents are off for four days and it rains every single day?

You get out every single toy you have...
And what do you do when all the toys are out?

You play in the toy box!

Austin, at 22 months...

You like to randomly tell us "hi!"

You started calling me "mom." Not mommy or mama. Just Mom.

You started asking to "help" with things -- laundry, dishes, dinner, etc.

You randomly put your hand to your mouth and clear your throat.You say "whelp" if we ask you what Pa says

You pronounce your name "Tin-tin!"

You get excited about brushing your teeth until it's time to actually do it.

You claim that every baby is "sad" and "cr-eye-ing."You had your first busted lip.

You say "sure" after you say you don't want to do something...Just to make sure we know you're positive.

You like to "try it" everything yourselfYou try to repeat everything we say.

You started announcing when you go #2, but you deny it as soon as we ask.

You're turning into a little boy way too fast!

We love you!

Imagination At Work

Austin has really started to play with a purpose these days. He no longer plays with things just to pacify himself or just to make noise. A few nights ago we came home to find his latest creation (with Nana's help, of course)....."Sheds." A boy with this many trucks definitely needs sheds!
He spends a lot of time pushing his trucks in and out of each slot so they can take "a nap" after a hard day of work. They even snore once they're safely in their place!No shed is complete without a place for your animals and beautiful landscaping. You'll notice that even the chickens (and a duck) have a place of their own.Next to his shed is the garage where he keeps his work and recreational vehicles -- his mail truck, race car and driver, and four wheeler. It's so neat to see his little imagination at work. I can't wait to see where it takes us next!
