I don't know if you've ever read the children's book "I Love You Through and Through" but it's one of our favorites in our little family and it completely reminds me of Kayson. Yes, there are definitely hard days, but I love this little guy more than words can say. He is going to be the best big brother and I can't wait to see what the next phase in life has for him.
Here's the latest update on our little stud muffin:
-He LOVES Taylor Swift's song 'Never Ever Getting Back Together'. It's so funny, he heard it on TV once and the next day was singing it, so I've played it on our phones and he LOVES it and sings along with the whole thing
-Loves Mickey Mouse, Despicable Me, Finding Nemo, Chicken Little, Little Einsteins, Doc McStuffins, and watchin Donkey Kong and Marion on the Wii (never would watch Tv until I got prego and so sick, but he loves his shows now)
-He could be outside all day long and if he could constantly play in the sprinkler or with the hose he'd be one happy little boy
-Any time we go outside, he always wants to "Go get the mail" at our road side box
-He's my little helper: loves putting away dishes and knows where they go, any time I vacuum he grabs his toy vacuum and goes right along with me, and always wants to help take out the garbage or dump the dust pan after sweeping
-Right now is so obsessed with cars and "shooters" (guns)
-Is constantly wanting to swing his bat at whatever ball you can find or play catch
-LOVES nursery! Gets so excited for the closing song in sacrament and can't wait to get to nursery
-He is also slightly obsessed with the kids games on Coby's phone. Whenever Coby comes home for lunch Kayson will ask for him to leave his phone so he can play with it
-He is pretty equal when it comes to a mommy's or daddy's boy, but absolutely loves chasing Coby around the house and "racing" with dad
-Still loves being in motion on his strider bike, 4-wheeler, his little car, or any mode of transportation
-We'll go for family walks at night, and he'll ride his strider as far as we can go (and longer and faster than us)
-LOVES going the park
-Constantly wants to say all the prayers by himself and always starts with "Thankful for Grandma and Grandpa, and playing with Davis (his little buddy) at the park" and then he'll follow us for the rest of the prayer, but always demands that he "say it by myself"
-Says "Hi" to everyone and anyone! Along with "What ya doing?"
-He's listened to Coby one too many times at McDonald's cause the other day he kept pulling up to our counter in his car and saying, "A hamburger, fries, a Dr. Pepper, and that's it!"
-Loves singing "Happy Birthday"
-Other funny sayings at the moment:
"Just a minute, I be back!" "Ok, I will" He always says "thanks and "Ya Welcome" for kisses
-Whenever anyone is sad, he says, "Don't be sad, Be happy!"
-Always walks into our room in the moring, sighs, and says, "Good Morning"
-He also has this new fascination with calling Coby "Coby" and will say to me, "Where'd Cob go" or hollar for him saying "Coby, where are ya?"
-He'll say "Come on, let's go!" while motioning with his hand for you to come here or follow him. Also "come play with me"
-One time he asked for fruit loops to snack on and we didn't have any, so I put marshmellow mateys in a measuring cup for him, and ever since then he is constantly asking for "Marshmellow's in a cup" (meaning that or real marshmellows.
-"Mom, you coldy?" whenever I get a blanket or anything
-About the baby: he'll say "is the baby moving" any time I touch my stomach and lately trying to get him excited about the baby and helping mom with the baby, he now says "we change his bum, and get him dressed, and get him a bottle"
-Also frequently will use the word "NO" and 'Stop it" which drive me both insane and he knows he's not supposed to yell
-Loves driving or steering our car any chance he can get and then will swirve and say he's driving "crazy"
Loves posing and taking random funny pictures all the time!
-In a fast version, potty training is almost complete! The first few days, I thought were going to be the death of me, but he picked up going #1 really quick and has only had a few accidents in the last month and a half. Going #2 has definitely been a challenge. We went cold turkey with the underwear and no diapers, so I was constantly washing underwear from #2 accidents... not fun! He would come running the second he would poop too and say "Mom, I pooped in my underwear!" So the little stink, knew every time he needed to go and did go, but just refused to go on the toilet! All of a sudden though, last weekend at Amanda's house, he told me he needed to go potty, but wanted to sit down.... and holy cow, HE DID it!! He's had a few accidents since then, but get's it now and isn't scared to poop anymore. His reward for going #2 was new shooters (this pack of 3 different nerf guns) and he loves them. So if he has an accident, they get put away and every time he goes, he gets to play with them. This has definitely worked for him. Nothing else did (not the one or two cold showers I attempted to do-but couldn't do it again, any other bribes, excitement, toys, etc). For going potty, he loved his sticker chart and gum balls he got! Just for my personal memory, at the beginning he would never fully empty his bladder and was somewhat scared to go potty, but my sister suggested sprinkling warm water down there when he was going... and that was the trick! He also insists to stand now, since we went camping and loves going potty outside any chance he gets. If he doesn't have to go, he'll say "try again later", but when he goes it's definitely a celebrations with "I did it" and the one fist in the air saying "wahoo!" He gets so excited! And I'm so so proud of him!!
-One other thing with him lately, he went through a terrible phase of sleeping. He has always been a golden and great sleeper since day one, but since changing him into a twin bed and raising it from the floor, to the box springs, to the frame, it's been a little challege. He was constantly wanting to come out and would nap shorter and get up earlier. We would have to put him back into bed numerous times (and still do) but closing the door or locking it definitely didn't work. He was terrified of the door being "LOCKED" which we never did, but if it was closed, due to the slant in our house, he couldn't open it. He went through a few nights of night terrors and would scream out and tremble, but still be asleep. It was so hard and frustrating for us! Luckily that only lasted a few different times. He is now back to sleeping good, but we have to convince him to stay in bed when going down and he'll remind us "don't lock it". Or if he does come out, he always wants to "Rock a minute!" He also always says he wants to "git you a love and a kiss!"
Wow, sorry so long of a post, but there is so much going on with this little guy right now and I wanted to remember all the funny, quirky, and memorable things he is doing right now! I sure love him soo much and couldn't be happier with the little boy that he is!
