When I came in today, Tony did his usual routine of running to the gate to see who was coming in. He was excited because I had Chick Fil A fries for him. He calls them “Fwies.” He was busy watching his Turtle Show again and playing with his markers. Not too long after I walked inside, he got a hold of the DVD holder and start looking for another movie that he wanted to watch. This time it was Tim Burton’s “Corpse Bride.” He seemed to like it, considering the fact that he kept asking me to “pwess play” everytime it had finish playing.

After a while of watching Corpse Bride, we went outside to feed the ducks by the pond. He was very excited by this. He was taking seeds by the handfull and pretty much pegging the ducks with it. Tony was getting all up in their faces, something that really scared me but didn’t seem to affect him in the least. He was laughing the entire time. A neighbor with greyhounds came by. Tony didn’t seem to mind them even though they basically towered over him. After we finished off the bucket of bird seeds, we headed home.

When we got inside the house, the first thing that he said was “yucky”. We didn’t even have time to wash our hands. He pulled me by the arm to the couch and layed down for his diaper change. These days, he has gotten into the habit of letting you know when he has “yucky(ed)” in his diaper.

After the diaper change, we headed to the bathroom to wash his hands. When we got done with that, he started manding for more french fries. He didn’t want ordinary fries though. He wanted Chick Fil A french fries, so it was off on a car ride to Chick Fil A. During entire drive, he was asking for a new paint set that he got. It is basically a paint brush that has a bulb full of water and it makes it appear like he is painting when he uses his “backyard book”. When we got home, he immediately started working on his “backyard book”.

After spending some time consumed in his book, he asked to go out to the “green” bus. He calls the blue bus, the “green bus.” The problem was that the blue bus was being fixed at the time, so it was off limits. We could go to the other bus. He was hesitant on going to the real green bus at first, crying everytime I tried to get him to walk past the blue bus, but he eventually gave in. As soon as we got to the green bus, he was excited again. He rolled down the windows, and started screaming “hello” repeatedly out of both the windows. When his dad came out, he started counting “1-2-3” and then yelling “Hello Daddy!” He did this several times. Since he kept counting, I started to ask him what came after certain numbers. I would ask him “What comes after 4?” To which he would replay “1 -2 -3 -4- 5!” He was very good at this. After a little while on the bus, we headed back inside. He played with his toys for a while and then he started getting tired. He wanted to go “Night Night on the couch,” but he was easily convinced to go sleep upstairs. It was off to bed.
