Turning 2

Boden has been 2 now for about 2 months so I thought I would share some things about him. Boden LOVES to vacuum. He received a toy vacuum for Christmas and this is one toy he uses multiple times every single day. When I vacuum (which is multiple times every single day) he has to find his vacuum and follow behind me. He will lug that thing with him up and down stairs to get the job done. Recently there has been a commercial on TV that shows new vacuums for sale and no kidding, he drops what he is doing and runs to the TV and screams "mom, mom, MOM!" That is another thing about him. He has never called me mommy. It has always been Mom or Ma and not in a cute quiet voice but a loud voice that I can't ignore or he repeats over and over again. It reminds me of the Family Guy commercial. He received a lawn mower for his birthday which he feels pretty proud of when he mows along side me. He is a silly little boy that loves to smile, give fives, say hi to everyone, wave bye and say bye to everyone. He loves to be one of the big kids and is so happy to have the kids home for the summer. Swimming is his favorite thing now. He loves to swim in the big pool and it is impossible to get him out. At the lake he just walks right in and throws rocks or fishes alongside Hali and Leiton. He is still a mommy's boy and prefers me in his site but he is getting better at saying goodbye to me when I have to go. I love you little Bo Bo!
Here are some pictures from his birthday....

Just Some Pictures...

Halloween 2010

Happy Halloween!

I love the smell of pumpkins being scooped out!

What made my day today was...while finishing a book with Boden today he preceded to "ah ah ah" which mean "again". I said more? And he did the sign for more! We had watched a sign language dvd from the library a few times a week ago and he remembered! Later at the park he did it when he came down the slide. Maybe I will play dvds for him some more as he was pretty proud at how excited I was for him.

Today Leiton scored a goal in soccer. Their team was down a player so they had no breaks and played 1 less than the other team and they won 7 to 1. What a cool group of boys on his team! Boden learned how to mimic his sister doing a hand stand and can "ta da" with the best of them! I wish we could have been more apart of the Extreme Makeover things going on around town. We probably won't get over there tomorrow and then its over! What a quick and exciting week it has been. Can't wait to see it on TV.

What made my day today was...walking to the park with a friend and watching Boden get swarmed by little friends wanting to play. He tried to push each one down at first but then joined them on the slide... I also got to spill my heart and got some very loving and caring advise from a friend. Aaahhhhhh, so refreshing. If only it wasn't so darn hot outside!
