ALL ABOUT ZAYDEN...

I haven't been able to actually blog lately on Zayden's recent antics but now I have a moment while he is watching his Little Einsteins DVD! Zayden will be 23 months on December 6, its coming up! I am getting a little sad about him growing up but I am very excited to see him grow and thrive in our family. He is so funny lately, singing songs and his mannerisms are a crack up. You know when people tell you their child is "magical", I used to think, yeah right. But really-- I see it now. Ans its just one of those things you won't or can't understand until you are in the moment as a mother or father.

So for my toddler Tuesday I'll list some things he is doing lately for your entertainment...

• going up to me and saying "shoe off" he knows where in the house he can wear and not wear shoes--he is funny and he told lola, "yaya shoe off!" when going upstairs!
• he counts his toes--on a good day he will count to 13, which is awesome--but on his off days he will usually skip numbers, like this morning he says "one, two, four, seven, ten, yay!"
• he loves to sing songs with me now, before he would say "no mama" and tell me to stop--i know the nerve of him!--but now he loves to sing wubzy songs, and if you're happy and you know it--clap your hands!
• he loves to do his animal puzzles and playing with his elephant
  
• he also loves to read books and point out all the objects he knows and tell you what they are
• he loves all his flashcards
• he loves to go outside on his trike and with daddy in the garage to work
• he loves to repeat, repeat, repeat: mama says--zayden you want me to open that for you? zayden says--for you?, mama says--zayden you want your vitamin now?, zayden says--min now?---LOL, its like a broken record sometimes in the house.

I can't wait for this Christmas and his birthday, he is going to have such fun this year. I am working on getting more videos of him too now that he is more active and talkative, I'll try to post one soon.
