will at 27 months

will is a talker! he talks in sentences more now. but, here are some of the cute things he says:

wash disher - dishwasher
wes her - yes sir
wes mant - yes ma'am
my welcome - your welcome
aint, are you? - train, where are you?
my wuv you - i love you
hee ya - see ya
have ood day - have a good day!
baby phoebe - baby evie
woorm - room
bottom - bottut
acket and ill - jack and jill
bite a one - vitamin


he also sings a lot - loves his Bible songs and nursery rhymes. he loves Bible school (church) and small group (my Bible study time at a different church). he loves going to the library for toddler time. i can take him in certain stores now without the stroller or buggy and he does okay - not great, but okay.
he is almost obsessed with his counting floor puzzle - he has to do it almost everyday and is needing less guidance with each try. the other toy he loves right now is his dump truck from uncle ben that makes noises and runs automatically. he loves his books and can "read" some of them like ten, nine, eight, goodnight moon, moo, baa, lalala, and his abc book. oh, and of course his nursery rhyme books - he knows some of those that he tries to recite. he also loves riding down the hill below our house on his "bike". he loves picking up sticks and pine cones and putting them in his wheelbarrow. he sits on the potty almost every night and sometimes a little pee comes out. he has all his teeth except the top molars in the way back. he weighs 30 lbs and is about 35 inches tall. he doesn't always take a nap - he just started getting out of his bed in the afternoon and playing in his room occasionally instead of taking a nap - but, hey, at least we still have our "alone" time. he sleeps 10-11 hours at night and takes a 2 hour nap 50% of the time. eating is not a problem if i do my part with planning mostly healthy meals. he doesn't always like to get dressed to go somewhere. he often runs away when it's time to brush teeth or change a diaper or get dressed.

what else, lee?

i think we both agree - he's a keeper. :0)
