Mickey Mouse

Our cat was eating a ground squirrel this morning and Tate spotted her. He gave me this horrified look and said "He is eating Mickey Mouse."  We talked about how it was a different mouse than Mickey.  We went with Brett to haul some cattle out to grass. Tate just wanted to be a big guy and help load the cattle so we didn't stay long. He was scared of monsters again tonight at bedtime do we got out our special monster spray (water) to get rid of them. I didn't hear another sound out of Tate after we used it.

Happy Birthday Grandma Joan!  We love you!  

Outside

Pretty much all I hear all day is "go outside".  Tate has so much fun playing outside. Today he washed his truck.  He was gassy so I took off his diaper in the hopes he would be able to use his potty chair soon. Well, he went potty in it all on his own!  Can you tell I am sick of changing diapers?  Tate had a tough time falling asleep tonight. He kept crying so I finally had to lay with him. He started talking about monsters and repeatedly said he was scared. Poor guy!

Lesson Learned

Apparently when a toddler poops in the potty chair he might just not be done so you should put a diaper on him before you go to clean up the chair. Otherwise you might just have him come up to you and say "Momma, poopy" and take you to a big turd next to the couch!  Oops!  No pictures today. ;)

Sunday

Today was fun!  Tate found a rainbow on the couch this morning. He called his fan a windmill again. He also pretended to be a monster truck and had a tea party in the bathtub. He went potty in the toilet before his bath again!

Honey bun

Just a little break from playing outside for a honey bun, Tate's latest favorite food. We love to be outside!!

Swimming

We went swimming at the city baby pool for the first time this summer. Tate wasn't so sure about it at first and then he tripped and fell while in the water and was totally over the pool. Then he darted for the big pool. Luckily I caught him before he fell in. Finally I got him calmed down and had to hold his hand for a while before he decided the pool really was fun. He had a blast and threw a huge fit when we left. 

Class Reunion

We went to Brett's 10 year high school reunion over the weekend. 4 out of his class of 13 made it. We had a good time and Tate played so well!  Brett got lucky and was the only one who managed to hang onto his hair!
