wheeeee

today, panzer put himself down the slide.  and of course, went right back around to do it again.

he also experienced his first hurricane force winds.

i admit i wasn't a fan of this idea at first and made aaron promise to bring him out as soon as he started screaming.  but, of course he loved it.  and it made me laaaaaugh.

hello hello good-bye

today, panzer had his first telephone conversation.  and by conversation, i mean it started with "hello" (and wave) and ended with "bye" (and wave) with some incoherent babbling and a lot of button-pushing at auntie karrie inbetween :)

can we build it?

yes, panzer can.  today, panzer found a forklift, climbed right up into the driver's seat by himself, and honked the horn.  how do little boys immediately identify (and fall in love with) heavy machinery?

ghostbusters

today, panzer rocked out to the ghostbusters theme song ... hands clapping, head banging, and tongue wagging.  he's going to be the hit at skateland in middle school.

bustin' makes me feel good...

OCD

today, panzer became obsessed with washing his hands.  taking a little bit more after daddy!  when there's no water in sight, he will even pretend to pour soap on his hands and rub them together, then mimic washing his hair (usually just spreading food around in there) and his face.

good monkey

today, panzer behaved at mommy's doctor's appointment.  peer pressure is beginning to affect him, if only slightly.  snacks take care of the rest...

bandit

today, panzer came out of nowhere, raced up to aaron, grabbed a big hunk of saucy chicken off his plate, and ran off with it.  your food is not safe around panzer.

apple

today, panzer ate exactly one half of an apple.  the top half.  including the stem and core.  those 16 teeth are serving him well!

harsh and severe discipline

today, panzer's parents failed to teach him a valuable lesson about inside toys vs. outside toys.

practice

today, panzer climbed into the rocking chair and read his monster a story.
