let's jump!

today, panzer jumped! 

p has been jumping off of two feet for at least a few months now, which we hear is very advanced, even for a two-year-old.  this morning at 6AM, i was able to catch him in mid-air! jumping along to some barney song.  officially my new favorite panzer photo ever.

hope

today, panzer may have peed in the potty!  i'm not sure where the liquid actually came from, but P was naked at the time, so we are hopeful the subsequent bribe will work.  quickly. 

take a picture

today, panzer demanded to look at photos of babies on my camera, like he does every day.  this makes it hard to photograph him.  today, we compromised and he let me take a picture of him and then show it to him.

privacy

today, panzer was in the bathroom grunting.

mom:  panzer are you pooping?
p: no
mom:  ok.  do you want to poop in the potty?
p:  privacy!  *slams door in mom's face*

and i pretend that he then sat on the potty (even though he was fully clothed i feel like that is progress)!

band-aid

today, panzer got his first band-aid! 

it was mostly a token to make him feel better and you can see it really slowed him down -- i could barely get a picture of it.  i hear the first band-aid is a bell you can't un-ring, but when we finally got p's off (which was a battle), he was totally uninterested in the replacement "ninja fight" band-aid i tried to give him.

panzer

today, panzer said his own name!  proof that he can distinguish between himself and other "babies."

good night moon

today, panzer spent the entire ride to the babysitter's asking me where the moon was.  "moon.  moon.  where is it?  moon.  where is it?  mommy?" 

i tried to explain to him that the moon rotates around the earth and we only see it because it's reflecting light from the sun, so it's usually only visible at night, and then only sometimes and in varying degrees.  he has such a funny serious look on his face as he ponders this response.  i wonder at what point, i'm just going to say "i don't know where it is panzer!"

boots

today, panzer ran off with daddy's steel-toed boots.

i have no idea how he can walk in them -- they weigh as much as he does!

out

today, panzer:

i'm not sure what i love most about this photo ... his open, drooling mouth; his astronomy club space t-shirt; or his little tummy hanging out.  <3

bug juice

today, panzer had his first bug juice.  i assume/hope all parents give in to that stuff occasionally ... and for the record, aaron did it! and because he wanted to be nice to p for behaving.

i don't know who says "aaaaah!" after they sip a beverage, but it's funny coming out of a 1-year-old's mouth.  thus, we were both treated to "yum!  juice! aaaaaaaah!" after every sip.
