Zack... where to even start with that kid! He is so funny and just keeps me guessing every day. He's getting so independent AND vocal. If he wants something he will tell you. Right now his favorites are: Toy Story (1,2 and 3), Harry Potter, OSO and Chocolate Milk. These are something that I know will come up at least 2-3 times every day. And yes I have gotten to the point where to quiet him for a few minutes we pulled out the Mini DVD player. This became a necessity because Zack wanted to watch Toy Story then 2 minutes later Harry Potter then back to Toy Story and on and on! But with the Mini player he is allowed one movie and if he stops it or turns it off he's done for the rest of the day. And he really doesn't just sit and watch the movie the entire time (hi, this is Zack we are talking about). He watches a few minutes, pauses it, runs around the house then come back and watch some more.
He's even learned how to change the TV so it's in DVD mode and knows how to load the DVD player and get everything ready for a movie. So word to anyone that babysits him, we no longer have to teach others how to get the movies going because the litte stinker can do it all by himself! Zack also loves to play Tent. He learned this from his Grandma and loves it. Any time I'm under a blanket he has to get "in my tent". Sadly he's even tries to get underneath my dress on Sunday's saying "I in your tent".... um yea!
Zack is also always getting into my scrapbook supplies. Do you know how many markers I've lost because of that stinker! Oh well, it's a worthy cause and as long as they don't end up on my wall it's okay I guess. So I bought some paper and saftey sisors for him. I wanted to try to have a little craft time with him while gavin slept and also work on his colors. So far he's only interested in cutting. I have to keep reminding myself that he's only 2 and doesn't need to learn everything in a day.
Zack's newest hobby is to rearrange my cupboards. Sometimes I just stand back and watch to see what he'll do. I know it's not good for him to get up on the counters... bad momma! But it is funny because he'll get a rag and look at me and say "I cleaning mom".
So to say Zack is a handful is a huge understatement, but I love that little kid. He's such a good big brother and he's getting to the age where he is trying to teach Gavin how to play with his toys. I'll hear him in his room trying to show Gavin stuff, it's so cute. Of course Zack also likes to shut his door so Gavin can't get in and I can hear Gavin banging on the door to get in, but hey what are big brothers for? Potty training is getting a lot better. He's having fewer accidents and we are even venturing out with just underware on and coming home dry. Of course I still bring back up pants and undies, but it's a process (a very long process). He'll even taken his diaper off when we've gotten him ready for bed and go potty by himself. It's progress and hopefully we'll be out of diapers for good soon! (he only wears diapers at nights and church now)

Gordan and I figured out why he is "cleaning cupboards. It's an excuse to hunt for candy. You must have threw away all the Halloween candy, so he's trying to find your new hiding place.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how quickly your babies are growing. How cute! I like him cleaning out your cabinets.
