July 26th-August 25th & August 26th- September 25th: Oh Silas! HE IS
SO SASSY RIGHT NOW!! The sassy (whiny, cranky, ornery, etc...) really
started after I went back to school/work. I think that it might be his
way to protest that he is not a fan of this new schedule. Neither am I
buddy, neither am I. If you had told me that I would be going to back to
teaching this year, with all of the talk of jobs out of state, I would
have never believed you. So, apparently, he is in disbelief, as well.
All we can hope is that this is shot lived :)
Food:
He
is back to eating almost anything. We do, sometimes, have to entice him
(like by shoving a piece of food in his mouth when he is not expecting
it) he usually likes what we entice him with. Favorites right now are:
oranges, oranges, oranges... but the most important news is that he will
eat, and actually likes bananas now!
Lodging:
Sleeping
is better, but not perfect. We are just doomed to have bad sleepers, I
fear. Our boys just REALLY want to see us a night. There are worse
things than a 19-month old still not sleeping all night consistently,
not many, but there are worse things.
Communication:
We
have moved onto two word sentences, and he has started to announce
things around him. He is especially concerned about who is home- "Mama
home", "Dada home", "Bruddar home". He also tells me all about what is
in his bed, or his room, when he wakes up. It is like he has been
waiting all night (or since we partied at 3am) to talk to us.
Transportation:
We
have been bringing his cozy coupe inside for him to roll around on the
wood floors. He could spend hours opening and closing the door, finding
things to use as keys in the ignition and rolling in and out of the
kitchen over the threshold. He even spends time at "the drive in"
watching movies/shows from Thanks, grandma Gayle, for coming up with
this fantastic idea!
Entertainment:
SHOWS! He is
finally into TV, so now we get the task of limiting the amount that he
watches. His favorite, by far, is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. His new
routine is waking up to milk the cows (around 5:30- with Bryan). Then,
Bryan brings him down to snuggle in bed with me and watch Mickey Mouse
on Disney Channel while I get ready for the day. I cherish the time with
just him, but it is a little early for this mama to be 100% with it.
I had the first day of Kindergarten off, so I spent it with Silas. He was so excited when Harry got off the bus after school. I really think that he missed his big brother :)
Silas enjoyed watching Mickey Mouse during Harrison's soccer game... He wasn't that interested in watching the game ;)

Early morning at Chick-Fil-A!
Fun at the Minnesota Zoo!
One of our favorite things about bagels at Einstein Brothers is the fountain outside run around.

Silas was dreaming for Christmas at Costco- a WEE-OOO station.
