Funny kid

Timmy's favorite activities, aside from playing in the yard, are doing just what we're doing. He squeals in glee and runs to the closet when I say the word 'vacuum'. And what he wants to do is be in charge of the process. Notice the photo above--he was annoyed with me when I tried to do the vacuuming and he couldn't be fooled to have the attachment unattached from the vacuum. He wanted to be the one cleaning.

Today, when he was grumpy and I asked if he wanted to make bread, he stopped crying and nodded vigorously. He wants to put his hands in the dough, stir when necessary, add any additional flour. It is so cool watching his excitement with our daily activities.


A funny story from nap time this morning--he was rather quiet for a while and I thought he had fallen asleep when all of a sudden I heard a 'thump'. He has managed to grab a few things from his book shelf such as a picture frame that was too close to the crib and a few dust covers I had removed from books as the temptation to tear is quite high. When I heard him awake this morning, I discovered a couple books on the floor and he actually managed to get a large book inside his crib through the slat. This took some serious maneuvering and nimble finger work to say the least. I guess being able to entertain oneself is a good skill....
