A Little Dose of Z

After yesterday's rant I thought I should keep today light. :)


So, Zander likes to vacuum. Well, let me expand on that. He likes the blue vacuum cleaner we have (we have another one that works better...but no, he likes "Blue" (as we've named it) better).



It was so funny watching him carry this out. It was way too heavy for him. He was struggling the whole time he was carrying it and saying "Its okay...I got it. I got it." He cracks me up.




My mom has him spoiled though. She holds him while she vacuums.....so he wants me to do that too. Why does she start these things? Geez! He's so heavy.



He likes to put money in his piggy bank too. (Zander, this bank was given to you before you were even born by your "Aunt" Jackie).



He is starting to learn to count....he can count to 3 right now.
So, when he puts money in the pig it goes something like "1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 3, 2...."



My mom and I took Z to IHOP on one of my recent days off. He always has to mess with the salt and pepper and sugar - whatever is on the table. He had a little bit of orange juice in his cup and insisted on adding sugar to it.
He also insisted that he add one of each kind of sugar - one yellow, one pink, one white, and one blue. I went ahead and let him because there would have been no point in arguing with him.
He was then insisting on drinking it. So, my mom had the camera ready for the look on his face when he realized how nasty that would be. But, apparently, he liked it! So gross!



Ok, that's all for today. Have a good one.

He really is such a doll!

Just wait until he starts to say, "That's not the way Grandma does it" or "How come Grandma's taste better?"

Oh yes... the moment you just know your child is going do one thing, and they do something completely different. yeah.. Love that.

Ah, the last pic with the dimples and the NASTY orange juice..TOO CUTE! And carrying him while sweeping? Um, no. That can be a special "grandma only" thing...:)

That's too funny!
Somehow, I have continued to pull the wool over my toddler's eyes. Whenever he wants salt, pepper, sugar, whatever, I pretend open it and shake it on his food/drink. He's one happy camper! LOL
