29 months 2.12.13

Always behind these days, 1/2 a month late on this post! This blog/baby book is getting tough to keep up to date!

29 months was the month of play dates and fun on the weekends!  We were in town most weekends, so we enjoyed home.  Tillman took his first visit to Bee City near Cottageville, SC.  He wasn't too much into the animals but loved the train they had onsite.  This was the first time that I ventured out with both kiddos alone for an activity of such. Tillman was good, and he even sat down for lunch.  Most of the time, out to eat is out of the question, but I think he was so exhausted he was to tired to be bad! :-)

Tillman on the Bee City Express Train!
Coming home from Bee City, I had to talk to Tillman the whole way to make sure he didn't fall asleep!  We sang songs, counted, and did "knock knock" jokes to stay awake.  He slept until 4PM when we got home.  Little Caroline slept that long too.  Bee City is the place to go to wear the kiddos out for sure!

Tillman in his boogie legs! It's boogie time!
Speaking of singing, Tillman has been learning lots of songs at school. He knows Jesus Loves Me (he loves and emphasizes the YES), Deep and Wide, Wheels on the Bus, and many others that I just can't tell what he is saying yet!  He is finally learning his colors.  The world is finally colors beyond YELLOW!  He seems to get green and red confused, but is doing much better. He also knows his shapes.  Counting is coming along. I think he knows 1-10 pretty well. He still really enjoys *9 10* part of the sequence. Word-wise his pronunciation is good.  He knows his full name, knows where Mimi lives (Ohio) and can sometimes tell us where he lives. He also says leprechaun really well! We pass one going to school everyday (Nancy's Exotic Plants corner of 162 and 17). He waits for it, and then yells out LEPRECHAUN!

As you'll see in the above picture, the potty has moved to the kitchen.  Tillman will not go to the potty because he is scared he is going to miss something.  We moved it in the kitchen where he could still be a part of the action and not wet his pants (or worse!).  He also likes it by the vent, as the seat gets warmed up (high maintenance kiddo). Tillman is fully potty trained at school besides nap time.  At home, he seems to be on break or strike.  He pretty much wears a diaper at home--stopped with the pull ups at home since they are so darn expensive.  He is starting to enjoy going to public bathrooms.  He has successfully stood on the seat twice.  He'd rather go there than at home (pretty backwards thinking, but we'll take it). 

Strip down, its spaghetti night!

Health-wise Tillman is off all meds.  We decided to take him off of Zyrtec and see how he did.  He seems to be doing about the same as before.  He's been pretty well--no doctor visits this month!  

Children's Museum during a Saturday monsoon!
Love having a membership to this place
 with the billion other people in Charleston too!
That place is always hopping!
Tillman still has fits. He is extremely strong-willed, but if you catch him on his good side, he loves to give hugs and kisses.  He also loves to take care of Caroline-wiping her nose, picking her up (scary), and being the official diaper fetcher. He truly is sweet and genuine when he says "I love you!" I'm not much of a touchy feely person but having children has really brought it out in me.  It is just to sweet to pass up!

Tillman's big treat for poo pooing on the potty..
.never thought we'd be so excited or mention this event....
a huge deal!
This kid has a heck of a memory too!  He is also brand loyal.  Every time we pass a Chick-fil-A, he wants chicken. Remember me saying he is strong willed, well most of the time he gets chicken!  I can't believe he know the logo when driving by.  We need to divert his attention when driving by the place or else we'll be pulling in the drive through!
