8/26/05

This morning, I asked Trevor, "do you know who loves you?" At first, he said, "I don't know." Then I told him to think really hard and take a guess. He finally said that Mommy, Daddy, and Devin love him. We talked about how lucky he was to have us to love him. Then I asked, "does anyone else love you?" And he said, "Granpa!" Then he said, "Granma Roth (Roff) loves me."

Then the applesauce stole his attention. It was cute.

8/16/05

Trevor followed me into the bathroom this morning. When I told him that I just needed to get dressed, he said, "Good, then you can open the d (breath) oor, and then you can get me a sn (breath) ack."

The way he said it was pretty funny.

I got him a poptart, and I learned an important lesson. The icing on a poptart fresh from the toaster is blistering hot. Don't touch it.

8/8/05...Noodle Pop

There's a show on the Disney Channel called the Doodle Bops. Guess what Trevor calls it? Yep...Noodle Pops. Mo is his favorite Noodle Pop.

Devin is awfully cute, too.

He doesn't say the darndest things, yet, but he often does the darndest things! Just now, he crawled into the kitchen, opened one of the cabinets that doesn't have a kid lock, got out a bowl with a handle, and started crawling out of the kitchen. Bang, scrape, bang, scrape, bang, scrape, bang, scrape. (I probably should have gone to get him after the first bang, scrape, but what the heck?)

He makes me laugh.

Little Devin can pull himself easily now, so we moved his crib mattress down a level. That has not stopped him from standing up at night, or when he's done with his naps. He stands at the end of the bed, though, rather than the side. This way, he can yell at us out the door.

I'm a what?

This morning, Trevor said, I'm a (insert gobbledygook here). I said "you're a what?" He repeated himself.

Then, I finally understood. His Huge Grin helped. "I'm excited!"

OH, lightbulb moment for Mommy!

"What are you excited about?" I asked

"I'm excited about going to MOTOROLA!" he replied.

Then we talked about seeing his friend Anthony. Anthony was "cwimbing" yesterday "with his feet."

Good Daddy

I brought home McDonald's the other day, and I asked Daddy to help me carry it in. When he walked in with the Happy Meals, Trevor said, "you're a good daddy!"

Maybe someday, you will tell us what you meant...

Trevor used to call horses "Feels". Maybe someday, he will tell us why.

Last night, he looked for his "Pluto" (or "Pwuto") in the refrigerator, then requested his Pluto before he went to sleep. He was a little desperate. He woke up this morning asking for his Pluto, too. We don't quite know what a Pluto is. We thought it might be a little toy we got from McDonald's. Eventually, he seemed content with that. But, I don't think that's what he really wanted. So, maybe someday, we'll find out what "Pluto" was.

Sharing is not easy...

Trevor has a great imagination. He'll drink tea dispensed from my teapot (thumb) in his imaginary cup. Sometimes it's hot chocolate, other times it's coffee.

The other day in the car, he was asking about the teletubbies. "Where's Lala?" he asked. So, we pretended Lala was in our pockets, and we handed the imaginary toys to Trevor. We got through Po, Dipsy, and Tinky Winky, too. Then, I offered an imaginary toy teletubbie to Devin. Trevor objected, "NOOO!"

You know that sharing isn't easy when a kid can't even share an imaginary toy.

Air Conditioner

We have a portable air cleaner in the kitchen. Trevor calls it the air conditioner. Its exhaust creates a pleasant little breeze.

Lately, Trevor has decided that he can use the "air conditioner" to "wash his hands" and other things that get dirty. Maybe this is from hand air dryers in public restrooms. I'm pretty sure it's not something he learned at daycare. Guess we'll never know.

Independence Day

I just remembered...Trevor said the fireworks were "loudly."
