Bennett is 21 months. It seems so crazy to think that he is almost 2 already!
He's constantly learning and doing new things but not that much new news to mention I guess. Here are a couple of things happening with him these day.
-Getting in to trouble!
-Getting in to trouble!!
-Getting in to trouble!!!
-He isn't talking much yet but his two favorites are Oh-oh and Uh-uh. (He usually says these while he's getting in to trouble!)
(I make it sound like he is a terror but he is far from. He's such a sweet boy. He's just in a stage right now where he likes to investigate EVERYTHING. And all of that curiosity is what is getting him in trouble and making messes for me to clean up.)
-He is addicted to Blue's Clues. It seems that some days the only way I can get things done is if I pop in the DVD for a little bit. Otherwise he follows me around or hangs on my leg wanting up. I hate to do that but it's what works for now.
-He eats really really good at our meals at home but when we try to go out, he will barely take a bit or just messes up the table and floor. He'll eventually learn what he is missing out on.
-He has managed to put his shoes on himself a few times and we're also working on getting dressed (pulling up his pants, putting his arms in etc.)
-Bedtime is at 8:30. We have no problem at all getting him to sleep for nap or night. It usually just consists of laying him in bed and telling him goodnight. But he does usually wake up and wanders in to our room around 3:00 every night. Usually I can just carry him back to his bed and he'll sleep the rest of the night until around 7:00. Not that I want him waking up at 3:00 but that is usually around the time that I need to get up and go to the bathroom anyways. At least this way I'm not waking him up.
-He really likes looking at books but doesn't have the patience these days for me to actually read the story. So we do a lot of looking at pictures and pointing out different things in the picture. He does remember these things though because most times when he brings that book back to me again and I ask him "where is the___", he'll be able to point to it.
-We had our first watercolor painting project the other day which he seemed to really like. I was able to score a Handy Manny paint book with the watercolors at Target the other day on clearance for $.88 (original price $3.59)!
Contently watching Blue's Clues
Gabriel says "uh uh" too, instead of no. He never really says no. I guess I must tell him "uh-uh" more than no. He does say "nope" if we ask him if there's poop in his diaper. Gabriel still often wakes up around five, which might as well be three for all the difference it makes.
