Grunt and Stinky

This is Cayden's post, but I do want to say that Eli still isn't doing great with the reflux. He isn't spitting up as much, but now he's having other issues that I'm pretty sure are still reflux related... It's just a mess and my dream of having a baby that sleeps well has gone up and smoke - and I'd be OK with that if Eli wasn't in pain. That sucks.

Moving on to the promised Cayden post... My son? Hilarious. It's really not always a good thing, because sometimes when he's acting up, we laugh because it's just so funny - and then it sends the wrong message and encourages him.

He's starting to repeat things we say. That's not always a good thing, as Jer and I both have a potty mouth. One morning Jeremy said damnit in front of Cayden, and the next thing I knew, Cayden had dropped something and said "I dropped it, damnit. Damnit, damnit, damnit."

Funny, but not the type of thing I want my two year old to go around saying.

However, today Jeremy was on the phone talking to someone, and Cayden held a hot wheel to his ear like it was a phone and just repeated everything Jeremy said "my name is Jeremy. OK. Thank you, bye bye!"

We're also working on potty training (which is going pretty well, except for poop. He's pooped in the potty once. He's pooped on the kitchen floor, in his diaper at nap time, in his undies, in his pants, on his bed, and today ALL over his bedroom floor.) Anyway, today he was on the potty and Eli started fussy. He yells "Hold on Eli, I peeing!"

Just every day things come out of his mouth, and I have no idea where he learned them from. And like I said, he cracks me up EVERY day over something he says or does. Yesterday my sister came over and was hanging out with him in his room. I went in there, and the second I walked through the door he said "shut the door!" (yes, he is a bossy guy) so I walked in and shut the door. Nope, he did not want me in there: "Bye bye Mommy! Mommy, get out!"

Yup. Thanks kid, I'll remember that next time you ask me for a juice.

He also LOVES to say "Do it again" when he thinks something you do is funny - most of the time it's something you can do again, like tickle him or make a funny noise. But one day Jeremy trip, and Cayden CRACKED up and went "Do it again Daddy! Do it again!"

He has a firetruck bed, and the bed has a light in the top - but the batteries ran out and so the light doesn't work. He looked at my sister and said "Mew mew broken. You got batteries?"

Again, don't know where the kid learns this stuff. On one hand I love this age, because they are so hilarious, but on the other hand... The temper tantrums... Oh my. They come on so quickly and are so... Violent. Yelling and crying and screaming and throwing things it just happens so fast and over the littlest stuff and then it's over and he's hugs and giggles.

It's an interesting age to say the least. We have his first dentist appointment on Friday, and that's crazy to me.
