Ethan fell in his room and scraped his knee, although I am not sure how. I cleaned the wound, put some Neosporin on it, and put a band-aid on it. When I finished fixing him up he covered his eyes and said, “I can’t watch.”

Dreamer
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010Hayden: Let’s go play. Let’s go climb. (He wanted to go outside and play)
Mommy: No, not right now.
Hayden: It’s my dream.
Choices
Friday, April 16th, 2010Me: (Showing Hayden two pairs of socks.) Hayden, do you want to wear red socks or green socks?
Hayden: Blue socks.
Me: That is not a choice. Do you want to wear red socks or green socks?
Hayden: Blue socks.
Me. That is not a choice. Do you want to wear red socks or green socks.
Hayden: Blue socks.
Me: That is not a choice. Do you want to wear red socks or green socks?
Hayden: (A bit upset and frustrated that blue is not a choice, he silently reaches out and takes the green socks.)
I guess tomorrow I will have to make blue socks one of his choices.
Monkey Monster
Friday, March 26th, 2010Background Information: When Hayden was only a few weeks old, he earned the nickname Monkey Monster.
Today Hayden crawled up in my lap to snuggle. Here is the conversation that transpired:
Me: I love you Monkey Monster.
Hayden: I no Monkey Monster. (He abruptly jumped off my lap, went across the room and started to sulk.)
Me: Hayden, I am sorry I called you Monkey Monster. We have called you Monkey Monster since you were a little baby.
Hayden: Yep.
Me: Well, if it upsets you, I won’t call you Monkey Monster any more.
Hayden: Ice cream?
I guess a little ice cream can sweeten any deal……
It’s a Cow!
Thursday, March 18th, 2010Hayden has a new favorite game he loves to play. When he hears something he puts his hand up to his ear and says, “Listen. Do you hear that? What is that sound?” He then follows up by identifying the sound.
Today he had a mid-day bath. I won’t go into the details as to why, I will just say there was a diaper removal incident (as an aside, I am tremendously grateful that Hayden has decided he can walk down the stairs instead of bumping down them on his bottom). When I told Hayden it was time to get out of the bath, he lifted up the stopper to let out the water. If you only lift the stopper part ways it makes a silly sound.
Each time Hayden would lift the stopper and make the noise, he would ask what the sound was and declare exuberantly that it was a cow. I am not sure how a cow got down the drain, but that could explain some of the plumbing problems we have been experiencing (clogged toilets)….
