So, as most of us with toddlers know, the word NO is a great way to bring out a tantrum in the sweetest of kiddos. I figured out a while back it was much easier to do a better job of child proofing (we really slacked at first), and letting him explore than it is to constantly say NO and take something away. Well, this weekend I spent a lot of time in the kitchen baking and cooking. Of course, this is also my precious time with Truett so he was pretty close by. We had fun stirring pots together, banging wooden spoons on doors, spilling blueberries all over, playing with potholders, peek-a-boo under the kitchen towel, "cleaning" spills on the floor, etc, etc. He also learned all about the word HOT and now it's one of his favorite things to say (for now;). I can pretty much tell him anything is hot and he WILLINGLY backs away or stops what he is doing! I'm sure this won't last long but for now it's nice. I'm lovin' it.
Also, little man had his 3rd double ear infection last week. Poor thing he can't catch a break with his ears. I'm sure it stemmed from his lingering cold he had ALL of January. But, he is so so SO much better and we are very happy he is back to his 'ole self again.
This winter had been awful, especially for Houston standards. It feels like we've been indoors nonstop. Boo. Anyway, to keep us all from staying sane we've been trying new things to entertain True. Last weekend I got him a pop tent from Target and he goes nuts in that thing. It's a great way to release some of that 13.5 month energy.
