Toddler Top Ten List

At 19 months, the buddies have become little sponges. They learn something new every day and it amazes me how quickly my babies are becoming little boys. This is a list of the top 10 things the buddies have learned in the last few weeks:

10. Mommy and Daddy cheer when we say our new words: “ball”, “cookie“, “oops”, “great”, “pillow”, “more”, and “hat”.
9 1/2. (I had to add another.) Somersaults are fun but it is best not to do them off the edge of the couch.
9. Small plastic toys are not flushable.
8. Decorating Christmas cookies (and Miss Jen’s house) with icing and sprinkles is loads of fun.
7. Puppets like to drink out of sippy cups.
6. If you poop during nap time, just reach down the back of your diaper, grab a handful of poo, and smear it all over yourself and your crib.
5. When you smear poo two days in a row, Mommy washes the poo off in a cold bath and it is NOT fun.
4. On the third day, Mommy learns to dress you in onesies and overalls at nap time.
3. It’s fun to pull the cushions off the couch and dive on them.
2. Brothers are good for hugging.
1. Hugs should be gentle. Otherwise, you are really just tackling your brother, and he doesn’t like that.
