McKay loves to take a bath. The other day I was sitting on the living room floor and he was in his room playing. He brings me his rubber ducks and says "BAF" "BAF" Then he grabs my hand and grunts while trying to pull me up still continuing to say "BAF" "BAF".
McKay went to a birthday party the other day and there was a Tonka truck there. I am not talking the little plastic trucks this was a HUGE metal truck. Really heavy. McKay carried it around everywhere with him. He even tried to hold it while he was riding a bike! It was hilarious. He eventually chose the truck over the bike.
McKay wanted to read a book so he brought it to me. Then he went and got his lawn mower he tried and tried, grunted and talked gibberish while he tried to put the lawn mower on my lap. For some reason he wanted it on my lap with him. He then decided it might be easier to pull it up if he got on first. He was successful so we read a few pages with McKay and the mower on my lap.
After it rained the other day we went outside to get some fresh air. McKay could not resist the puddles it was like he was magnetized to them. It took a lot of restraint on my part to just let him play. I decided what the heck, a bath can clean him off in a hurry. Then I started thinking back to when I was younger, my brothers and I would find all the worms we could after it rained. I looked in the gutter and sure enough there were plenty of worms. I picked one up and showed it to McKay. He got a huge smile on his face and said “SNAKE” I tried to explain to him that it was a worm but he is 1 ½ and just didn’t care. They were the coolest things in the world to him.
Sometimes I forget how much McKay understands and hears. Pretty much everything I say McKay repeats. I love it when he says new words. This is an exciting time in life!!!!
That story about the tonka truck and the bike made me LOL :o) What a cute little guy you have! He seems like he is so fun. I agree.. such a fun time in life right now! I wish we lived closer then he and elle could be bf/gf ;)
ReplyDeleteSome of those things you said about Mckay reminded me about my kids. The bath thing, Brody likes taking a bath, whenever I asked him if he wants to take a bath he starts walking to the bathroom. And the whole worm thing, Rocky calls worms snakes too. Its pretty amazing how smart kids are. I think they are smarter than we are sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how big he has gotten! Where does the time go? It does get me excited for our little one and the things she'll do that crack me up :)
