"Be careful Mommy!"

The title of my blog is what my little one told me when I recently almost slipped in the driveway. Here he is at 27 months, telling Mommy to be careful. I guess that's from all the times that I am telling him to be careful when he runs... Running is his absolutely favorite thing! He runs in the grocery store, backyard, street (that is a no-no), etc. He's working on discerning when running is good or dangerous. Oh, and our key word is "danger" whenever he could hurt himself. He must think that danger is everywhere. And I guess in reality it is. It is dangerous just to get out of bed. :) It's awfully amusing to hear him repeat things that I have told him with such confidence. I guess that is a good thing. But, if I could give him anything it would be that. To be confident no matter what. Confident in decision making and confident in knowing that he is right. I admire that quality in anyone....especially in babies.

Hmmm...as for more firsts, he now tells us when he has to pottie, still has a few accidents, but they are becoming fewer in between. I'm guessing by this summer he will be shedding the diaper and onto Spider man underwear. He loves those a lot. He is also fixated on his Spider man shoes and would wear them everyday if he could. They light up and for some reason he feels powerful when he is wearing them. He also loves super balls. He told me yesterday that he found Superman's super ball. Never quite thought of it in those terms, but I guess he is correct. That little wonder!

What else... he thinks that bambies are reindeer. All bambies are Rodolph's! He loves Rudolph and it makes him happy to say Rudolph and to see Rudolph. He is truly my little baby..knowing how much I love Christmas. We still sing Jingle Bells and some other Christmas songs. But, lately it's been the Happy Birthday song and Rock-a-bye baby. He loves that one. You can only sing it while holding or rocking him in your arms like a cradle. He could do that for hours. Unfortunately, it's my back that starts to hurt from his size. He's getting so big now too. He says, "I'm heavy" when I pick him up. Of course, being a mom, I tell him that he is just right for Mommy. He is getting so tall too. His pediatrician said that he will be way over 6 feet. And I'm guessing that she's right. He has long legs already and is very strong. Everything is still amazing to him. And he has recently discovered monsters. He told his Daddy last night that monsters come from the grass when it gets dark. And I'm thinking... interesting... It probably does feel that way when you are so close to the ground. Reminds me of my fear of monsters too. And he doesn't like it dark. He says it's dark and there are monsters. We will have to work on that one.

As for likes: Likes corn, hot dogs, chocolate milk (loves that...could drink it 24/7). Hmmm, what else, loves pasta and pizza. Oh, and how could I forget..loves to play trains! Trains are his thing right now.

And his friends are: Macey, Chase, Kayleigh and friends from school...
