This is Me!

Multiple times today, James has stripped down naked, patted (pounded like Tarzan) his chest and said, "This is me! This is me! I don't need pants!" 😑

Cool

Me: If you stop crying, you can watch Despicable Me going to bed. James: OH! That would be cool. Are we serious right now? Hahaha You're almost 3 not 13. Slow down, kid.

Despicable Me 2. Hahaha

Listen

I always think that James doesn't listen to what I say until he repeats back to me later (hours/ days/ months/ whatever)...

While wagging his finger at me.... "Nuh-uh-uh! No mama. Don't do that."

The video doesn't do it justice on how big this slide was. Bigger than any of the ones at Bicentennial Park back home. #jamesquinn #park #kirbypark #sanangelo #texas #tx #nofear (at Kirby Park)

Since the park was a bust yesterday, we opted for vanilla bean cupcakes instead. #jamesquinn #cupcake #vanillabean

Please

I may have produced one of the politest toddlers ever.

"Yes, Please." "No, please." "Pretty please top!" (Pretty please with sugar on top) "Excuse me." "Thank you." "Thanks." "Welcome!"

However, he doesn't understand that not everyone is as polite. So he keeps at it until he gets a response. :|

"Excuse you." "I said please!" "Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!!!" (Ending with growling it) "Daddy tooted. Excuse you."

I'm pretty terrified of the day he hears someone burp or fat and tells them what they should have said...

Catching Up...

No one follows my blog yet, so sometimes I just forget to post. Or neglect posting? Either way, it's usually the last thing on my mind.

So what has happened since I bought the wagon as an early birthday present? Nothing, really.

James' "car" is his new favorite toy. It's a wagon, bed, storage container for toys, highchair, table, step to reach stuff he's not supposed to and so on.

Lots and lots of temper tantrums. But that's expected with a 2 1/2 year old, right? It was just some sort of fluke that they kicked into high gear now and were less sporadic before, right?

We went to a pumpkin patch that had pumpkins shipped to them instead of grown there. Not as cool when you aren't picking them off the vine, but James didn't seem to care any less.

His Daddy wasn't super excited about this one, but I thought it was cute. :)

James is a ham. <3

We also got that poor kid a haircut. We had wanted to see what his hair would do growing out because it's curly. Well, it either dries with loose curls or it dries semi-straight. And when it dries straight, it tends to look like Justin Bieber hair. Haha

Before

And after. :)

Everyone is really upset that the curls are gone, but he still has them and they'll be longer soon enough. He also "likes haircut" so too bad family and friends. Haha

We participated in an online Scentsy fundraiser for Project Sloopy. If you haven't heard of them, I encourage you to do so. I'm sad that I moved out of Fort Worth before they went to visit a friend of mine for their cross country trek. I would have loved to go to the Fall Festival and meet/ support them.

James got a 2nd Roarbert because I wanted the car to smell nice as well. (We also purchased some other stuff not pictured. :)) Roarbert number 1 (left) may have seen better days. Haha

He's clearly excited over having two of him now. :)

Speaking of Scentsy, today is the last day of their Monster Monday sale. Which is pretty awesome because you can get up to 75% off certain things. Go check it out if you're reading this today. :)

And I guess that brings us to yesterday where he patted his belly informing me that he wanted a baby. Where do they even come up with this? I'm not pregnant nor has he really seen anyone else who is? Crazy kid.

And today, I've been reminded yet again that yelling, "Shut up!" to the dogs barking at people/ cars passing by is probably not the best thing to do in front of a toddler. The door to the garage creaked to which he half growled/ half yelled, "SHUT UP DOOR!"...

P.S. Yes, he's spoiled and that's my choice.
