Quick Thoughts

These are just some random thoughts - we don't have a lot going on right now, but daily I marvel at the funny/entertaining/amazing things Grady does and learns! I don't want to forget joy of just spending time with him at this age.

Grady is obsessed with trains. Obsessed. We bought him a train table set for Christmas (with some Thomas pieces), had it out for him Christmas morning and had to FORCE him to open up any other presents the whole day!

We took him to Toys R Us to get a couple additional pieces recently, and they had a train set out for the kids to play with. He of course gravitated right to it and refused to leave, even for the prospect of picking something out for his own train set!

Baths - hates to get in, hates to get out. When it's time for a bath, first there are a few "No Bath!" arguments, then he agrees and holds up whatever toy he is playing with "he take a bath?" Luckily if the answer is no, he just picks a new toy until the answer is yes.

Tonight he ate 2 full adult-size servings of green beans!

On the way to daycare each morning, Grady and daddy look for school buses and firetrucks. When stopped at a stop light, Grady yells "Go daddy go... chip chop chip!"

He knows the names of ALL the Thomas the Train characters, and corrects us when we say them wrong which we sometimes take advantage of... "This one is Steve?" daddy says. "No daddy that's Gordon!" We did just get him to name a monster truck Steve, which is pretty awesome.

Has been a bit of a mama's boy lately, which is sometimes so sweet and sometimes a bit rough. Sometimes he calls me mommy, sometimes mom (which I try to correct to mommy - just not ready for that yet) and tonight during his bath kept saying mama.

Notable Grady-isms:
I'm not sleepy now (after he's been in bed 30 minutes and just decides to get up)
I want more strawberries
I want more blueberries
I want more milk
No Maya don't eat it!
Lets play trains
I want my iPad
I see the moon (he can find it at any time of the day!)
I see a big truck
I love you mommy - the BEST!
