Tempt me not, O Pastry.

I love this photo.

Toilet Paper Magic

It's almost like you have a fear of the toilet paper roll running out - I guess it had happened to you a time or two - that whenever the roll seems like it is almost depleted, you will tell me, so that I would change it out for a new one or something. 

You never made a big deal about it, because usually, I'd just reach for a new one from under the sink - YOU even know where it is, by now - and pop in the new one.

Yesterday, you reminded me again in the morning to put out a new roll, but as I was busy doing something else, I kinda mumbled, "okay, i'll do it later" and went off to bring the dogs out or something.  During the course of the day, before we went out to town, I put a new roll up.

When we got home, you had to go to the bathroom, and I hear this excited shout..

"MUMMY! The toilet paper is puffed up again! How did it DO that???" :)

New Toys

The Dittos for Kiddos sale was over a week ago, and one of the things I got for you was a Lego Duplo set.

It was supposed to be a birthday present, but I couldn't wait to give it to you so that you could play with it.. there'll be other presents :P

 

You easily copied all the different designs on the tub, and then I printed out some that were online for you to follow after that.  You were pretty good at improvising the various designs as well.

  

On a different note, these last few days, you love to ask me riddles and when I get the answer right, you would tell me that I had "unlocked the next level". :) Too much Angry Birds and Bad Piggies? :)

How time flies

I know it's only the last day of February, and your birthday isn't for another month, but still... we would have been blessed to have had you as our sweet sweet boy for 4 years ( or more, if you count all the time you were in mummy's tummy! )

I have to be more diligent in documenting all the little things that make you our special little boy. :)

Right now, you are getting better and bolder with the puppies. You were sooooo terrified when we started bringing Henry back in the house, after he got sick.  As for the frisky puppies, you would be so afraid they were going to nip at you or lick you, even. Now, you will reach out to pet them. As for Henry, you walk by him all the time fearlessly :) Of course, they are all the sweetest doggies and would never harm anyone, and you are quickly learning that :)

A Keen Eye

You're always asking if you can get a piece of paper from the printer to draw on, and I always say, "of course".

Yesterday I asked you if you could draw a man, but didn't prompt or guide any further.  This is what you drew.

Of course, you had to add silliness by giving daddy some piggy ears and a tail :)

So you decided to draw ANOTHER picture. This time, of you AND mommy, as Angry Birds. :)
