Oriental Trading

Moses enjoys looking through the Oriental Trading catalog as he does #2 on the potty at home. we got a new one in the mail yesterday and I had it on the counter in the kitchen. I was cleaning up after lunch, and I heard him waddling down the hall from the bathroom with his shorts around his ankles. He took the magazine from the counter and said, "I need this, okay?" And waddled back down the hall to the bathroom to do his business. He is so awesome. 

Wish I could document all of his awesomeness. I love that kid. 

Good Girl!

i helped mosey tie the strings on his shorts the other day. i struggled a bit because they were so thick and short. when i finally got it, moses was so excited and encouraging that he told me, "good girl!" haha

Ants

Mo was telling me about how he found some chocolate on the ground. He ate some and shared some with his pal Max.  Moses also told me his piece had ants on it, and he had to spit them out. He was rather amused. I was simultaneously  grossed out that he ate random chocolate from the ground and proud that he shared. 

To be honest with you

In response to me saying that I thought his shirt was getting a bit small: "Mommy, I think it's just the right size, to be honest with you."

In response to me telling him I needed to go fix my hair: "Why? [looks at my hair for a minute] Oh, I see why, your hair is sticking up, Mommy, I see."

In response to a song (Ellie Goilding's Love Me Like You Do, a song he enjoys) being played on the radio twice in one hour: "Hey mommy [laughs], this song is on the radio again!" He's really paying attention!!

Waking up

We'd been having a problem with moses getting up after bedtime a lot, and then him waking up early squirrely (like 5 ish) for the past few months... Half a year? He even woke up crying last night that his stuffed lion and bear were moving. It was freaky. We finally put Eden in the crib in his room last night (at his request) and they've both been quiet as a mouse all night!! Woo hoo!!! 

Dinosaurs

"We can't see any dinosaurs at the zoo, right Mommy?"

"Yes, we don't see them there because dinosaurs are extinct. They don't live here anymore."

"Oh... So, where do they stink now?"

Haha, love that kid.
