“What the vcr doesn’t play just elmo tapes?”

“HOw can this be?”

“Wait a minute, that’s not elmo, who is that lady?”

Those are all the thoughts that went through my sons head as I put in my excersise tape so that I could do some yoga.  He had the biggest fit when he saw that elmo wasn’t coming on.  I think he thinks that the vcr only plays elmo tapes.

Ten minutes into the tape he decided not to be mad anymore about not seeing elmo.  Instead he decided that I was playing games with him.  So with every yoga move he’d either jump on top of me or crawl underneath me or give me big bear hugs so I couldn’t get out of the position.  He even did “down dog” with me, it was so cute.  I tried to get a picture of it but of course he got camera shy as soon as I pulled it out.

“HEY!”

“HEY!”

“HEY!”

That is what you will hear from my son if you go with us to the grocery store, or any other store for that matter.  He is trying his best to be a social butterfly but sometimes certain people still scare him.  As of late he will wave and say “HEY!” to the people that pass us in the store.  He still doesn’t like the idea of strangers touching him, which I don’t blame one bit because I don’t like strangers touching my son either.  Maybe I should teach him to bite their hand off if he comes near…Just kidding, I know that would be wrong.  I just don’t understand why everyone feels the need to touch him.  I’ve never touched anyones kid that I didn’t know.  They did the same thing with my stomach when I was pregnant.  It is so annoying.

P-nut finally gave my father a kiss on the lips.  My father has never gotten a kiss from p-nut until this weekend.  We were leaving my folks house after granny’s birthday party and I told the p-nut to give “Mama D Kisses” which he did then I told him to give “Grandpa Kisses” and he did that too.  It was the sweetest thing, and I know that just rocked my fathers world.  It takes p-nut a while to warm up to my father because he doesnt see him as much as Mama D.  Mama D visits us during the day and we can’t see Grandpa till after he gets off of work.  I love to see my father spend time with my son.

New signs for p-nut are:

Potty

Read

He has those both down pat.  He even says “wead” when he does the sign for read.  Potty training is going kind of slow.  P-nut is now in pull ups with learning designs.  He’s gone #1 in the potty maybe 3 times in the past couple of weeks.  I know that it is still kind of early for him to be trying to learn to potty train so I’m trying not to get discouraged.
