Funny Quirks


- Loves dragging the toilet plunger around the house, disgusting! I even began setting it up on top of the toilet tank and he still crawled on top/around the toilet to get it down.

- Loves the wastepaper basket in the bathroom, empties it out and wears it on his head, fills it up and carries it around

- Kris was working with PK on where his nose, etc was. He asked him where his butt was and he pointed to Kris’s mouth! Bahaha!

- Probably seems random but he has the most fun playing with odd things around the house he digs out that I don’t take away. He takes the mini-crock pot out of the cupboard and plays forever filling it up, carrying it around. Tupperware, empty garlic/cinnamon containers, big plastic spoons, plastic bowls. It’s all scattered around the house mixed in with his toys.

- There is small spot in the corner of the living room where there is just a little space for him where he will take all his favorite toys of the night with his blanket. He will get himself all situated in the corner and just sits and plays.

- Blowing his nose is the cutest thing; and he actually blows hard, it works!

- A habit I need to break… I let him sit on the counter when I cook supper. He loves watching and “helping”. I need one of those stool things he can climb up on that is counter height.

- On our back deck we put out a light up reindeer and snowman that are just for PK. We open the blinds on the door so he can see them. I’m not sure what he’s saying when he points at them, but he thinks they are pretty cool!

- PK got these cars that you pull back and let go for his birthday. Well all week while I’ve been making supper him and daddy have been racing them across the kitchen floor. Kris will let two go and he will run down and bring them back one by one. Kris started letting one go while PK was running to get the other one and he’d turn back while running making sure the car wasn’t going to get him. Or he’d stop and run back to Kris if a car was getting too close. We were having fun with it; he didn’t want to stop for supper.

Everything Else

- I’m cutting his hair every two weeks it seems like now. It just grows so fast!

- Goes to bed around 8 and sleeps until after 7

- We are working on not throwing food on the floor if you don’t like it… work in progress.

- He’s getting pretty good at drinking out of a glass. Taught himself to blow bubbles in it tho. So once he is full he just sits there and plays. Ends up with a ring across his forehead from the glass.

- Having him walk over and give you a kiss without asking has to be the sweetest thing ever.

- At daycare he only has his blanket during naptime. When we get there and when we pick him up; he knows the drill and where it goes. And doesn’t let you forget to take it home!
