Casa de Crazy...: Update!

Here's an update. I really thought I would be a regular blogger but once Knox became a toddler...that became a pipe dream.

Lets see....
For Thanksgiving we packed up and headed to Hereford. Knox loved getting to be with Rizzle and SteveO and his aunts and uncle. When we are all together Knox is not in need of attention. Since he's the only grandchild right now...he is the center of attention...constantly. Let's just say he doesn't hate it. He spent the weekend dancing for all of us...riding Bob (his blowup cow that HE named?) and sitting on the brick ledge eating crackers watching the rest of us put up Christmas lights. He is still working on everyone's names but a while back we were working on Cody and I suggested CoCo...he adapted it to Dodo. It helped that Dodo sends him postcards for his mailbox about once a week...He had Christy's name down but it was a little hard for him to say because he would only whisper it. One day over Thanksgiving I guess he thought to heck with that and just yelled across the room, "DoDo..DeDe" and so Cody and Christy were christened DoDo and DeDe.

his British guard PJ's I got in London...they make me really happy.

ready to go

he loves Dodo's beard... (yes, they were twins and no, it wasn't planned)

He is going to school and he LOVES it. His teacher is Mrs. Elizabeth and he loves her. Seriously, he gets a little ticked when I show up and promptly tells me, "No, Mamma. No, Bye Bye"

He is ALL about the Fantasy of Lights and the "Choo-Choo" that is in the front. It's going to be a sad day when the holidays are over and they take all of that down. He doesn't really get the whole Christmas thing just yet, but loves all the lights and loves Santa. I don't think he thinks Santa is going to bring him presents and all that just yet... he just likes the old guy with the beard that seems to be everywhere these days.

Knox loves the elderly.. I think that's why he's so into Santa. It's crazy. When we are at the grocery store or anywhere, really, if he sees an elderly person he goes right up to them smiles this big cheesy smile and says." HI!" It's really cute.

He is still working on his vocab but is talking ALL the time and follows most questions and statements with "Mamma".... "What's that, Mamma?" "Choo-Choo, Mamma" "Eat, Mamma" "Night Night, Mamma!""Look Mamma, Mailman!" you get this point. Why it's adorable and I'm thrilled he doesn't want me to miss anything ....it can make for a long afternoon sometimes.

He is very into The Wonder Pets on my ipad..awesome. Thomas the Train or any type of Train for that matter. He loves LoLo and has christened Lindsey and Cuatro...Ninny and Tah-to.

He LOVES his Elmo hat that Dodo and DeDe got him for his birthday and wears it ALL the time..he only takes it off to replace it with his "golfer hat"

He is very busy. He loves to do laundry. He takes all his dirty clothes to the laundry room and puts them in the washing machine. He also does this with my clothes. Sometimes it makes things a tad tricky when I find my coat in the washing machine...

He is OBSESSED with his shoes. He wants to pick out what shoes he wears and he can't stand to NOT have shoes on....how so very much like his father he is!

He is also very into his Blue Jeans which he calls "Blue" He likes them because Daddy wears blue jeans.

He LOVES bubble baths (thank you LoLo for introducing them) and he HAS to have bubbles whenever he bathes...He points to his tub when he wants to take a bath and says, "Buh-Bels" I love it.

He has also learned to turn on and off the light switches...I now live in a constant night club with the lights going on and off. He has a turtle that projects the stars and the moon on the ceiling so I have walked into his room a few times in the middle of the day to find him laying in a dark room looking at the stars...whatever keeps you happy!

Rizzle, SteveO, Dodo and Dede all came in this weekend and then Knox is getting to spend a few days with his Grandparents in Hereford...hence, my having time to blog. I get him back tomorrow and I'm ready! I miss my little booger!
