Carrots. Cereal. Sprinklers.

Strange or not, I took pics of him with a carrot, because it
was a first.  This child rejects every veggie I put in front of
him.  Last week, he suddenly wanted a carrot.  With "bep" -
dip (i.e. ranch dressing).  He took a few nibbles off of it. 
Big day in our house, no joke.  I was elated!!!

Yep, just left it in his mouth for a while.  Now I am looking
at this and thinking it was a choking hazzard :).  Oh and yes
he is on the counter....made sense at the time...whatever
I was doing......I was right there.  Mom of the year right?  Ha.

MR. INDEPENDENT.  Like I can't even explain right now.
Wants to do IT ALL on his own.  Like eat his Multigrain
Cheerios, with milk, in the chair and watch cartoons.  A
little spilled I am sure.  I am also sure that's why we have not
replaced carpet or anything in the living room....those things
can happen from time to time when it's all older than the hills!!

I think it was roughly 100 degrees the end of last week.  So we played in the water.  Or were in the air.  Caden made sure we got plenty of sun.  And sweat :).  He likes to do it all himself now, of course.  He lets me know when I'm "invited" to come participate and wants me to run through the sprinkler, haha.  He always has it all figured out and everything to go just so.  It's a hoot!

Drink for Milo, drink for me.  (Yes, that hose is probably dirty,
I know).  Luckily, he survived, don't worry!!!

I had to take a pic of this....so, I asked him to water plants for me.
I was thinking that would be a good water thing to do, while actually
putting some of the water to good use at the same time.  He wasn't
impressed with my idea, but I finally got him to come over to the plants.
Here's what Mr. Smarty pants did.......laid it on the pot to 'water it'.
He has watered plants lots, and knows how to.  This was to
get his mom to 'shut up' and water the plants, too.  Haha.  Oh boy.
