Woodpecker stew

Ben was at home with Dylan one day this week and was fixing him lunch.  He asked Dylan what he would like to eat for lunch and Dylan replied, "Woodpecker stew!".  Ben said, "Woodpecker stew?  Okay well who is going to cook this stew?".  Dylan replied, "Mr. Frog is going to cook it on the grill.".

Where he comes up with this stuff I'll never know.  I didn't even think he knew what stew was!  Funny little boy!

BIG MAMA coming through!!!

This kid is cracking me up!  Now that he's talking there is no holding back what's going through his head.  So, last night it was time for bed so we go through the teeth and pj's routine and jump in bed.  Dylan has an old hand-me-down bunk bed (minus the top mattress) so it is getting very difficult for me to climb in and out to read his night time books.  Every night he jumps in bed first with his library books and I climb in next and say, "Move over rover!".  Well last night as I'm climbing in his bed he beats me to it and says "Move over rover, BIG MAMA COMING THROUGH!"  He's hilarious and I just cracked up.  So now that he has gotten a good chuckle out of me he loves telling me that I'm Big Mama.

5 more weeks before baby #2, so yes, I don't mind saying that I'm a very big mama right now. 

Daddy's truck

So yesterday Ben and Dylan were outside playing in the bed of Ben's big black truck.  Ben told Dylan that he would give him his truck someday when he got older.  Okay, great...and the day went on.

Well later that night we were winding down with me on one sofa and Ben/Dylan on the other.  Ben said Dylan, tell Mama what I told you I would give you one day.  Dylan replied "Daddy's truck".  I said, "Oh Dylan that is so great, you can drive Daddy's truck someday when you get older".  Dylan replied, "Honk the horn and wave bye bye to Mama and Daddy".   Ben and I both looked at eachother and couldn't believe he was actually telling us he was going to honk the horn and wave bye bye!  I pictured that moment and almost cried!  You're only two!!!  Slow down baby!!

I'm a big boy now!!

I hope this isn't too much info for the blog but if I don't document this milestone I'll forget it later.  Dylan is officially potty trained!  We have made it an entire week with no accidents, all # 1 and #2 in the potty, and three consecutive days of big boy underwear!  He still wears a pull up at nap and a diaper at night but I think it's safe to say he finally gets it.  Now, I do have to do a lot of reminding and encouraging to make sure he doesn't have an accident but so long as he has regular breaks we seem to have it down pat.  We also are still bribing like crazy with cotton candy for #2 and small M&M's for #1 but whatever, it's working. 

Just in time to start back with diapers for our little sweet pea #2!!!
