| First Beach Day of the Summer at Seabrook! |
Just have a few words of excitement to share....
Potty Trained!
In Toddler Bed!
 |
| Tillman with buddy, Cole |
Those two milestones of month were huge for all of us! Like with anything, he had to make up his mind when he was ready. He doesn't fight to go to the potty and no more yucky pants! I must admit I was getting a weak-stomach with all of those messes in his pants! He knows all the tricks of the potty too-standing up, sitting down, flushing, and like any man, needing his privacy and shutting the door!

| Making a "pool!" |
Toddler bed started this weekend. We've been without air upstairs for a few weeks, so he'd been in a pack 'n play downstairs. When he went upstairs this week, we decided to take the plunge to the toddler conversion of his crib. He did just fine. He woke up around 12:30AM his first night in the crib. We could hear him fumbling down the steps. He came to Nick's side of the bed and started to "fake" cry. Nick said what is wrong, but he continued to whimper. We asked him to use his words if he wanted help. Tillman said in a serious/matter-of-fact way after pausing for a second "I FELL ON MY FACE!" He was not happy about it either. I just wanted to die laughing. Nick got up with him to potty and get a drink of milk, and he was back off to bed for the rest of the night. He is certainly at that stage of life that you never know what is going to come out his mouth!

Don't try this at home...
Daddy brought the stand up mower home.
Tillman wanted a ride. |
Speaking of what comes out the child's mouth....we have to be careful what comes out of our mouths as he is always listening. The other day I was "scolding" him. He responded to me "Don't you cut your eyes at me!" Of course, I laughed. I'd never said that to him. I guess he got that from school. He also says very sweet things too-"Mommy, you pretty!"

Tillman is extremely tasked oriented when he gets home. As we walk to the front door, he'll say "we need to blow the leave, again." He is so serious when he says it. He nods his head while he says it. He loves to work outside in the yard. If a mower, blower, ladder, or any tool is in sight he is ready to get to work.
On our way home everyday we pass an AME church. It has a tarp on the room right now, and they are doing some major work to it. Tillman gets all excited and say what tools are needed to fix it-ladder, hammer, screw driver, and nails. I asked him who was going to help him fix the roof, and he thought for a minute. While nodding his head he said "Cheryl!" (That's his teacher's name). I think it is so funny how his mind works. All this thoughts are pure and innocent with not a care in the world. Ahh, to be a kid!

| Pretend Mower Ride before School |
In other news, Tillman is out of school today and working with daddy. I'm sure he is having the time of his life. He sure loves going to work with Nick. He came home yesterday with a fever but acts completely fine...buck wild! While it may seem to be inconvenient in the moment for Tillman to be sick at times, as it takes us away from plans, these are the days (sick days) that he'll remember the most. Nick still remembers being sick from school, and his granddad taking him to the Air Force Museum. Memories are made when we have one-on-one time. Can't wait to hear about Tillman's day with daddy when they get home this afternoon.
