Vendor

I spent the day selling Norwex at a vendor fair in town. Sales were slow so I stopped early. Brett came to help me so we just hung out and enjoyed the day. Tate stayed with my mom and dad. He was a good boy. He even gave my mom a kiss!  He didn't nap and fell asleep on the 2 mile drive home and slept for 40 minutes in the car. Then he had a huge meltdown and would not stop crying. Later we checked the cows. I was pointing out the musk thistles to Brett. My little helper "saw" them too. "There's one."  On the way home we drove by an old farm house and Tate said "monster house."  He must think monsters are everywhere. 

Wind

It was very windy this morning. We lost a big branch in the front yard and our trees in the backyard are in shreds. The wind kept Tate from sleeping well. He went to daycare this morning while I made pizza pockets. He napped well and then we went to the park. He is pretty fearless and loved the tall, curly slide. 

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!!
