Talk Thadeus

Yesterday:
So, little one won't talk.
I said Thadeus, talk to mama.
He says, "No"

ok, enough said.


He whines and takes me to the refrigerator.
"What do you want," I ask.
He whines again...
He wouldn't say milk.
Then, Daddy gets home and he says it. ugh.

Today, same thing.
He takes me to the fridge and places my hand on it.
"What do you want, Thadeus," I ask. He refuses to say milk.
So after pressuring him, I give in.
"Say please," I say. He looks at me. "say please," I say again.
So I hand the milk to him.
You know what he says?
"tank you"

OMG,
I think that was the sweetest thing ever.

So Thadeus had a great birthday. I can't believe my little boy is two already. He got so many wonderful presents and had a great time opening them and playing with them. Needless to say, his slept well that night!

Thad has changed so much. He is talking much more and surprises us with new words every day. Tonight he started calling out our dog's name, Mica, so she would come up to him which was so cute. Every once in a while he would call her Niku...which just cracked us up.

I guess I will break down and give Thad a big boy hair cut. Ah, or wait a bit longer! he he I know as soon as I cut it, he won't be a baby any more.

He is starting to sing A, B, C and has counted up to three. He also shouts at the football games just like daddy.

I love to ask him to wash his feet while he is in the tub...he will scrub the bottom of his foot, smiling the whole time.

He like to make "boom" sounds. He will set a toy on the very edge of the table, push it slightly, watch it fall and say boom. He is such a little boy. Having had three sisters, it really freaks me out but I know he is doing what boys do-being a rough little boy. I do love it when he stops for a split second to give me a hug and kiss.

So I have a funny story. I decided to make Thad's birthday cake this year. We had a little mishap which set me back but DID NOT STOP ME! I decided to make him a carrot cake. I got all the ingredients and it is a great thing that I got extra carrots! I placed the batter into a springform pan thinking I would make the cake tall and round. Hey, I make cheesecakes all the time--what the heck happened? But half way through the baking I tried to rotate the cake from the bottom rack to the top....well, the spring sprung open on the side and cake batter went every where! It was all inside the oven burning on the heating element and down the front of my cabinets and even onto the floor. You see, my oven is up high in our new home, not low to the floor like in our old house. Orange batter was every where! It took me 30 minutes to clean it up...then I started over. This time I used the regular 9 inch pans....

The cake turned out well but I was so tired! Take home from this--don't prepare the cake the night before! ha
