Every time we go over a railroad track he states that it makes his stomach feel silly!
Sometimes he does things that I am telling him not to do...like dropping a diaper on Peyton's face or wipping his boogers on his shirt. After telling him not to do those things he tells me that daddy does them and that is why he is doing them! Joel is my third child!
On our way home on 104th I announce that we are going over the river and up the hill he then finishes with saying that we are going past the church, past the barn and then we are at our house!
He still hates taking bathes and cries hysterically when we wash his body and hair.
He is starting to test the boundaries with saying things that we don't want him to say like "poop".
He has been obsessed with raspberries this summer. He will eat them as fast as I pick them! One time I think he ate close to 50 in one sitting! Good thing we grown them for free!
This summer Parker has just been in love with Joel. Having him home full-time has been amazing in Parker's eyes (mine too!), but sadly I never get to tuck him into bed any more because he always chooses Joel.
I don't know exactly where Parker got this from but he pretends the tennis racket is his guitar and carries it around the house "strumming" it and singing us songs!
He is finally getting how to actually brush his teeth. Whereas before he would just suck the toothpaste off and we would have to brush them for him.
When one of us is gone and he sees us pull in the driveway he comes running out to greet us with a hug and a huge smile!
The way he talks and interacts with Peyton just absolutely melts our hearts. He ask her if she is okay when she is crying, reads her books, gets her toys that he thinks she would like to play with, runs into her room to greet her when she wakes up and just constantly loves on her.
Parker has recently been picking up on the fact that Joel and I call each other different names than he calls us. He thinks that what we call each other is more fun so he now refers to us as "babe" and refers to Joel as "Joel"! Ha! It is so funny when he is yelling "Hey babe!" to Joel across the yard!
Parks loves the new van...it is his new playground. He likes to run around inside, dance in the back with the seats down and pretend to drive! Why do we even buy toys?!
In the morning when we go in to get him up the very first thing he says is, "I want a snack!". He doesn't understand yet that the first meal of the day is breakfast!
Parker started out his first 2 years of life pretty mild and easy...he now has entered the "All Boy" phase! He now likes to jump off of tall things, "fix" things with his tools, build forts and never bathe, but he just can't seem to let go of that paci!!
