But wait, there's more!

I know I just posted Mason's farting story...well, there's more...ALREADY!

First of all, Mason was taking a bath a couple nights ago at my parent's house. He and Nana were having a good old time, and I was in the living room. I could hear Mason laughing, and not just laughing, but that deep belly laugh that kids get when they're really excited. Next I hear, "Papa, come look at this!" and my dad goes into the bathroom, which is followed by more hysterical laughing. Apparently, Mason was a little gassy that night and had farted in the tub a few times...then he was making himself fart more to make more bubbles. It was so exciting to him, he just had to share it with Papa.

This next interaction was today as I was getting Mason up from his nap and I needed to get a new diaper on him. We are still using his changing table to save our backs, even though he really is too big for it now.

Mason: (laying down on the changing table) I getting bigger.
Me: Yes, you are growing.
Mason: I get long.
Me: Yes, your legs are getting too long for this table. You're getting bigger.
Mason: Ya, my pee pee get bigger, too.

What in the hell are you supposed to say to that?!? Um, why, yes, I suppose it is.

Who knew mixing two seemingly polar opposite songs would work out so well....somedays, I just love the internet!

Wisdom of a 2 year old

Here's a recent conversation between Mason and Todd...

M: Um, Daddy, I fart.
T: What do you say?
M: Excuse me.
(then a little bit later)
M: I fart. That like burp, only out my butt.

Lord help me, the male potty humor has started already.

Slideshows

Well, I had to do 3 different slideshows of our Mexico pictures because slide.com only allows 50 pictures per slideshow. So here they are...hopefully you won't be too bored

Wherein we become THOSE parents

It has finally happened. My sweet, beautiful son has been possessed by an alien. A screaming, tantrum-throwing, pissed off alien.

Case 1: We are in Mexico. We take Mason back to ride on the train again. We get on the bus (which he loves) and he rides on the train (which he loves even more). Then it's dinner time, so we go to a restaurant where he proceeds to throw the HUGEST fit I've ever seen. Seriously, we are talking a rolling on the floor, crying, inconsolable tantrum. Todd and I are now THOSE parents with THAT kid at the restaurant. Needless to say, we took dinner to go and took a cab back to the resort where we put Mason straight to bed.

A lot of Mason's attitude in Mexico I attribute to being so exhausted the entire time we were there. But now we're home and have had a week to catch up, right?

Case 2: Monday afternoon, Mason wakes up happy as can be from his nap. He wants juice, so we go to the kitchen to get some. Something (still not sure what) sets the kid off and he just LOSES it! We're talking screaming and crying for AN ENTIRE HOUR!!! I finally put him back in his bed, where he quickly calmed down and recovered. By the end of this episode, I was crying as well.

He's two. And we have officially reached the terrible twos. Lord, give me strength.

That's my baby

This is so freaking cute! I love it!
