2.5 Years Old

I thought I would take a quick minute and document some of Jayden's funny comments. So here are a few of them.

1. We are playing frizbee in the backyard. As usual I have to stand there while he throws it and retrieves it, I can't actually play because he won't really let me have a turn. So I sat down to enjoy the nice evening, which irritated him because you can't play frisbee sitting down. So he walks up to me and in his most serious voice says, "I'll give you nuckle sandich". I managed to hide my laughter for a moment and then pretended to laugh at something else.

2. We recently told Jayden that he is too big for his passy and doesn't need it any longer. He would still like to have it, but deals with not having it fairly well. However bedtime is not as smooth as it used to be. So for about a week when it is his turn to say his prayer, he says, "Dear heavenly father". Long pause, "I can not concentrate". He then tries to get us to finish his prayer.

3. He asks at least four times a day, "So what's the plan guys". Or if we ask someone else what the plan is he just starts raddling the things that he likes to do off. "Play in the yard, ride bike to the park, go for a walk. Ok, that be fun guys".

4. Eddie joe and I sometimes call each other dear or dearest. Jayden has picked this up. So he calls Eddie joe, Dear, Dearest. If Eddie joe walks away from us in the store, Jayden will yell at him, but he doesn't yell dad. He says very loudly, "Eddie joe, Eddie joe". It's really funny.


We went to go and meet a potential babysitter for the summer tonight. Instead of being his usual pleasant self, he threw 2 toys at her 18 month old daughter and refused to help clean up. These were not gentle throws, and one was from the top of the stairwell (which hit her at the bottom). He has never behaved like that, I think it might be because he only took a 30 minute nap today, but it was very uncool. She and her kids were very nice, but I wouldn't blame her if she called us tomorrow to say she's not interested. Silly kiddo!

So there is an update on Jayden. We are doing well, busy with work and yard projects. I'll try to post pictures soon (it's such a chore to go in the office and sit in front of the computer after having done that for 9 hours already). I need to go help EJ with a stump, I'm so excited we were able to get it out of the ground without having to rent the stumpgrinder like we were planning to do. Now we just have to figure out how to make it small enough to haul it out of the yard?!?!? :)
