acrobat

today, panzer climbed up the net at the playground all by himself!  then he tried to do it while also holding/eating a hot dog. 

hee hee hee.  look out circus.

honk!

today, panzer said:  grandpa?
mommy:  what about grandpa?
panzer:  nose.
mommy:  what does grandpa's nose say?
panzer:  honk!

pizza pizza

today, panzer asked for pizza when there was none.  object permanence is here to stay!

coasting

today, panzer started coasting on his bike! 

this means he can move MUCH faster with less energy.  soon, he'll be able to balance, and graduate on to pedals, bling and tricks.

pop pop

today, panzer had his first snow cone.  he did pretty good with the top... but needs some practice eating out of the cone because he ended up dumping most of the rest on me on the way home.

he also got to sit in a firetruck and watched his first demonstration of a high-risk takedown by a SWAT team complete with fake gun shots and pink smoke bombs at national night out.  hopefully he will never actually need either of these things...

top down

today, panzer helped mommy with the laundry.

applesauce

today, panzer helped me make applesauce.  he picked a 5-gallon bucket of apples at the babysitters this week.... then he washed each one and took a bite out of it before handing it to me to peel and chop.

even though they are "baking apples," p has no problem demolishing them -- stem, core, worms and all.

shotgun

today, panzer rode shotgun in the new double-bob-stroller. 

the boys all went to the hardware store and came back wide-eyed.  must have been some ride.

hee haw

today, panzer told me what an owl says -- hoo hoo.

his vocabulary is exploding, and he's so much fun to talk to.  he can also do cat, dog, cow, sheep, bird, pig, and toad (croak!).

mess

today, panzer wrote on his little armchair with pen.  when i gave him a stern-talking-to about it, he immediately went into the bedroom, pulled out a baby wipe, and tried to clean it up.  it's hard to stay mad at that guy.
