What the??

Yesterday, Adam was taking a little longer than usual in the bathroom so I went to check on him. Wanna know what he was doing?? Sitting on the seat with one foot in the toilet! I don't know why and I was too busy rushing him to the soap to ask.

Today, he went into the bathroom and locked the door. I kept hearing something that sounded like his stool being pushed around but he had moved his stool out to the kitchen sink. I asked him what was going on and he said he was cleaning. (Earlier today he had kicked me off the toilet only to pee like Daddy from the side of the toilet and pee on the wall, seat, and some in the toilet which I had to clean up). I thought the noise I had heard was him rummaging through the cabinet for cleaner. I finally got him to unlock the door and he was standing there sloshing the plunger around. Where does he get these ideas?? I had to clean again...

Tonight, Adam was sitting on my shoulders on the couch playing with my hair. He told Dave there were ghosts in our hair. I started cracking up! I had told Adam earlier that ghosts are in "here" (pointing to my head) - in our imagination. Forgetting he doesn't know what that means - ghosts are in our hair.

Some of Adam's favorite expressions lately: "Ohhh - that's crazy!" (or" that's silly"), "awesome!" (or "that's awesome"), "hmmm, that's strange".

Goofy kid

He speaks Spanish and English too...

Adam will not say "1, 2, 3" - it's always "1, 3, 8". I think he knows 1,2,3 since I say it enough as a warning, but anyway... yesterday he was playing in the living room before dinner and I heard him say "one, uno, dos"!! Really?? Skipping english and going right to spanish?

I know he listens to me but...

I feel like I am constantly yelling at Adam lately. Earlier he told me to stop being so loud. I told him that since he didn't do what I asked, he must not be able to hear me so I have to talk really loud. Some time passed and then he says "I sorry for not listening you". When we were trying to get him to go to sleep tonight, he kept doing somersaults and kicking me. Once we lay in bed and don't respond to anything he does - he calms down. We were just laying there and he said "Sorry for flipping and kicking you, Mommy". Sooo...he kind of gets the apology part (he's been doing variations of this all week "Sorry for hitting and kicking you", "Sorry for being whiny and a brat", etc) but when does he get to the part where he'll actually stop doing it when asked? I'm really tired of hearing myself yell. Maybe I'll start whispering and see if that works.

Another thing he did tonight that was cracking me up was that he kept calling me "Baby Gina". I'm not sure why. Dave taught him to say "Give me some sugar, baby" which was just funny. Somehow that turned into putting a pillow in his pants and him saying he had a baby in his butt! I think Adam has baby fever! Did I mention he told me he wanted a "Baby Ethan" a couple weeks ago? (We had been looking at a friend's new baby pictures. HIS name was Ethan. And there was an Ethan in the Sprouts room that week, too). Love the name but sorry Adam, you can have a baby Ethan when you get married.
