Competitive?
I'm not talking about Patrick. He doesn't have much competitiveness in him. Nope, talking about his Nana, the one that still thinks she can win in a wrestling match at 70. She also thinks she can win at baby basketball, against Ryan who plays ball regularly.
Well, guess what. She did. twice.
Don't take her on unless you are willing to loose!

Miles and Patrick
We have had a pretty awesome week this week. We had a couple days with mom helping out with meals (love that!) and then we got a couple nights of playing with Miles (love that!)
These boys are really getting fun together. Of course they still have their individual meltdowns, but I don't think they ever have them because of the other.
They both like to get into things, which I'm sure will just continue as they get older. It is fun though to see them just have to look at each other and giggle.
I think they are even starting to get closer to the same size. I guess my peanut is growing!

Patrick vs. the Vacuum
A creature has invaded my house and turned my toddler into an an obsessed crazed lunatic. It's called the Vacuum or "Ah-Coo" Patrick goes to bed with dreams of the vacuum and says Ah-Coo as soon as he wakes up.
Then all day long he can't be far from this creature. Although when he does play with it, it causes him great distress and frustration. You see this creature is bigger than he is, but he has a tenacity and need to overcome it. Many times he will ask "Bo-Bo?" This means turned it on.
The minute we do, Patrick finds the comfort of a lap and cuddles until Ah-Coo is turned off and the cycle starts again. I can't wait until he is sick of this toy. The constant asking for it out of the closet, whining when it won't do what he wants it to and frustration when it needs to be put away for dinner, are driving me nuts!
So, top on the X-mas list this year? a toy version that may give us all a little sanity in our own house!

He keeps me hopping
Ryan is such a cool dad. He is full of energy, fun and so calm. He is also funny. He makes me laugh daily, which in the end helps me to be a better mother.
We decided to get a kitchen for Patrick for Christmas (shh...don't tell him!) I found a couple that I was interested in and decided to ask Ryan's opinion. This is the email that I got back in return.
I think the first one is FAR superior to the second one. The first one has four enclosed cupboards in which to store things, as opposed to the horribly inefficient and possibly unsanitary open design of the second one. The first one has a stylish island extension with a larger cutting board. The first one also has the convenient storage area (bread box?) next to the microwave. The sink on the second option looks rather shallow. I’d hate to have him splashing water all over the floor every time he runs the faucet. My only concern is that it the first one doesn’t have as big of an oven as the second one, which would be a concern if Patrick wanted to cook a larger item, such as a turkey. But I’d say that the price savings between the two would more than compensate for this minor shortcoming.
yep, he keeps me on my toes!

P, P on the P!
Patrick Pooped on the Potty!
What a funny kid. Sorry, but I have no pictures to prove it. (you'll thank me) He typically goes pee on the potty before his bath, but last night I got him out of his bath and he said "poop!" I immediately put him on the potty. He sat their grinning for a while then plop. (you love the play by play right? he'll thank me later I'm sure!)
He was so proud of himself. Later he told daddy, "Poop!" He really cracks us up.

Hanging in the studio
I was trying to take some photos of Patrick for a photo contest, but decided not to use these. Still too cute not to share. The second one, Ryan took the camera while we sang Itsy Bitsy Spider together. Patrick knows all the actions now!
And then of course just the two of us.
*hehe, I accidently put this up on my photo blog. oh well!

Here comes Christmas!
Our home is beginning to take shape for Christmas.
Holland decided to help decorate by becoming an ornament in the tree.
Patrick was thrilled with the lights. He keeps touching them and saying "Hot" while blowing on his finger.
We haven't decided yet if we will decorate the tree. With a 19 month old and a new kitty, they are just a tad too curious! The lights for now are entertaining enough.
