Incident Report

When I arrived at daycare on Friday, I was informed that I needed to sign an incident report. Lately, this has been quite common. Once, Dylan fell off the slide and cut his knee, and the second time Dylan fell of a tricyle and into the fence. I fully expected this to be another example of Dylan's adventerous, crazy behavior... I was shocked to find out that Dylan had bit another kid! I know it's something that most babies do - but I have never seen him bite! I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of our trips to the "principals" office. I think we're in for it. And I'd like to thank Shawn for being such a hellion growing up, because we're going to pay for all of the years of his craziness!

Row, row, row your boat!

Dylan has recently found that he truly enjoys singing. More specifically he loves to sing row, row, row your boat... I sing the first verse and then he repeats it something like "ra ra ra yaBA" (very quickly and big, loud emphasis on BA).. I sing the second verse and he sings something that I can't even begin to type, although it's the same every time... I can tell you, it ends in a "sssssss..." for stream. He loves the merrily, merrily... He says "MmmMmmMm..DA" Da for dream... Too cute! He continues to amaze me with his new tricks every day. What a joy it is to have him around. He can always make me laugh and he is just so incredibly smart! I attempted to get this on video, but he is much more interested in holding the camera then singing for the camera... eventually I might catch it, if he's not looking!

Dylan's a Big Boy!

I have been thinking about buying a potty for Dylan and just putting it in the bathroom until he shows interest. I finally bought one today (the exact one in the picture). Dylan sat on it as soon as it was put together, wasn't really interested. A couple of minutes later he came back over and wanted to sit down, so I helped him. Right after he sat down, the potty started singing, which means - he peed!!! :) I think I gave him 100 high fives and we clapped and yelled, he thought it was a blast. Later in the evening, I took his pull-up (yes, pull-up) off of him, he started to pee... I quickly put him on the potty, and he finished peeing! Again, very excited to be cheered for and for the millions of high fives I gave him. I'm just so proud! Even if he doesn't do it for another month, it just makes me so proud! He's such a smart boy!

Words of the day are....

Moxie & Doctor

Summer Fun!

New Words

Dylan has lots of new words lately. He's really getting to be a big boy! Some of the latest are "tee tee" (Auntie), "tank you", bubble, blue, Nana, GaMa (Grandma), Cuck (yuck), Wow!, hot, Jacie, Dog (pronounced Doe-G)... Grandma and I swear he attempted Mackinna one day while looking at her picture, but we haven't heard it since... and the words that continue to be his favorite are BuhBye and Dada.

Daddy's Home!

As most everyone knowns, Shawn has recently taken a job that requires him to be out of state. Dylan hasn't seen him in 2 weeks. Frequently Dylan goes to the stairs and yells "Dada! Buh-Bye!" over and over... Or he will wander through the house yelling "Dada?" looking for him. It's really sad and cute all in one. Last night, Shawn came home for the first time in two weeks.. I convinced Dylan to stay awake with marshmellows and a movie :) At 9:15 Shawn opens the door, and as soon as Dylan saw him he said "oooOooo OooOO" He was so excited to see Shawn. He just couldn't stop kissing him. Dylan was cudlding with me to go to sleep at around 10-10:15 and Shawn had walked away to get a drink, apparently Dylan wasn't done cuddling with Daddy, he screamed until Shawn came back. Dylan really, really loves his Daddy - and seeing the two of them together just makes my heart melt! We can't wait until Daddy comes home again!!

Thank you!

Dylan and I were in the Dunkin Donuts drive thru Friday morning, we brought munchkins for his class and the teachers. As we were waiting at the window, Dylan was in the back saying 'MmMmmmm MmMmmmm'... The man at the window leaned out to say hello, Dylan thought it was just too funny! Finally, the man passed us our box of munchkins and immediately Dylan yells from the back "Tank You!" - So polite!!
