Trapped!

As I am writing this blog I am currently locked in my basement. Tommy must have turned the lock and then shut the door! Don;t worry Tommy is locked in here with me. Thankfully it is a finished basement with a bathroom. I tried picking the lock but apparently I am not "thief minded". Of course now that we can't get out Tommy really wants to go upstairs! Thankfully I had the phone with me so Mike is hopefully on his way home to free us. Never a dull moment with kids.

I've been telling you all....

for years that I didn't have an accent and this proves it!

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Well trained

I was on the phone with Brooklynn yesterday and Tommy motioned that he wanted to talk. So I handed him the phone and I could Brooklynn on the other end "Hi Tommy" his response was "how doin pincess (princess)". She has him so well trained.

Smarter than we think

Since Tommy has stopped eating baby food it has been a constant struggle to get him to eat anything. For a while he was loving hotdogs and wanted them all the time, but then out of the blue he won't eat them anymore. Tonight I asked him if he wanted a hotdog and he said "yes" so I made him hotdog and gave him some pretzels. He ate about half of the pretzels and none of the hotdog then said he wanted to get down. Being the responsible parents we are, we told him he needed to finish the pretzels or take one bite of the hotdog. He picked up the hotdog, me and Micheal held our breath to see what he would do, and it started towards his mouth. He puts it in his mouth and bites down (inside I am cheering, we have won, our will was obeyed!) and pulls the hotdog out still intact with bite marks nearly severing the tip and then he puts it down and smiles. Mike and I burst out laughing, well we never did say he had to bite it off and eat it.

We did manage to get him to eat the remainder of the pretzels at least.

Tooooo cute

Tommy had his Valentine's Party at school yesterday and was pretty hyped up in Sugar by the time I picked him up. Them we proceeded to traverse the county delivery more Valentines and eating more sugar as it was provided. We then had to go grocery shopping. He is usually pretty good the store, for a while. this time he was in such a good mood just gabbering away and talking to everyone and moving all over the place (the grocery store has carts that look like race cars and they can move around little bit) was so excited when I picked up Shrek Cheezit crackers. When we finally got home I gave him some Shrek cheezits and put on Bob the Builder on TV and went into the kitchen to put away the groceries. I am not sure what the reason was but he was just so excited about it all that he comes running into the kitchen saying "I need fives, I need fives" I had no idea what he was talking about so he grabs my hand and holds in up and gives me a "high five". he was so excited about everthing he needed to give someone a "high five"!! It was just so cute.

Frosty the Snowman
