Canyon is learning about independence and is constantly saying "Stop Mom!" "Try me" "Me do it" He is very adamant about what he wants and when he wants it. I find the more patient I am the better our day goes. I of course have to set limits when it comes to using knives, driving the car, climbing on the cabinets, etc.
On the flip side he is so sweet always giving lots of hugs and kisses and saying "I love you, mama. I love you, dada" "Hold you, me." "Be safe."
Although we have talked about the baby coming I don't really think he has any idea about being a brother or having a baby in the house. But sometimes I see him looking in the bassinet or at the baby diapers saying with a sweet voice "Oh baby, so little."
He loves Sponge Bob and Anoop Desai (American Idol contestant).
He will bring his dirty clothes to the laundry room when I ask him too.
Canyon and I like to look up songs on YouTube and watch them. Well I do and Canyon seems to enjoy them most of the time.
My favorite time of day is when Canyon wakes up. We bring him to bed with us and all cuddle. He kisses on Gary then wraps his arms around me. Pure sweetness.
He has learned how to be a pirate from Holden and plays pirates almost everyday with his Dad.
He got a booster seat that he loves and a toilet that he loves, but doesn't really know how to use.
He loves to wash his hands.
He hates the wind and the sunshine in his eyes. He will start crying when faced with either.
He talks, talks, talks, and is listening to everything we are saying. He soaks everything up weather it comes from a book, a movie, a conversation Gary & I have had. He is continually surprising us with silly comments.
Gary taught him how to fake cry and Canyon thinks it's great. He practices it when we are not watching. And can't wait to do it when asked. He's doing it right now.
He is learning different emotions. Happy, Sad, Mad, Silly.
He still loves Dino's.
We stopped on every bridge to look into the water. Canyon thought that there should be a train on every bridge. He didn't quite understand that bridges aren't only for trains, but it motivated him to keep walking to find the next.
I spotted this Horny toad and Gary caught it. I love Horny toads. Canyon did too.
After a "pizza party" we headed home and it was my job to keep Canyon from falling asleep. He was not happy about this and attempted to fool me by covering his face with his bandanna. Silly, smart boy. He's napping now. I better hurry and catch one too.
