He's 2!

David turned 2 yesterday. We took him to McDonald's afterwork. We are officially celebrating this weekend as my parents and Zach's mom are coming to visit this weekend. We'll probably go to eat pizza- D's favorite. Currently, David has been making a lot of progress with his language. He is putting together words in fragmented sentences. Some of his words are still hard to understand if you don't know him well.
Here are examples of the types of words he puts together:

'I got a boo boo again'
'David wants (fill in the blank)'
'David needs (fill in)'
'Get up mama'
'Take shoes off me'
'Theres other one'
'Where (fill in) is'
'go home first dada'
'All go outside'
'Come mommy play motorcycle'
'Thoman is my friend'

...the list goes on.

Confessions of a Goodwill Shopper

Yes people, occasionally I will grace the aisles of a goodwill. I must say, the goodwills in afluent areas have much better selection than those in, well not well off, areas and Warner Robins falls into the latter category. I went in search of birthday toys. I have to say, I was surprised at the amount of broken toys and toys with missing pieces. Despite that, I picked up a few good things and also 3 shirts for only 2.50 each. As a side note, their furniture is WAY overpriced! They had this dinky kids dresser, broken and written all over for $70, what? And, furniture straight out of the 70's for more than Ikea prices. To that, I have to say, Get with it Goodwill!

I got a big yellow dump truck for 2.02, a smaller green regular truck for 4.04 (why more? who knows.), and even though I was certainly not in the market for it but I wasn't going to leave the store without a temper tantrum if we didn't get it and I was too tired to deal with that after work, a ride on toy for 6.06. I was hoping to find a bubble mower and toy cash register, but had no luck. With the B-day quickly approaching we ended up going to Toys-r-us and paying full price for those and I also got some new puzzles. I was also looking for the book 'Cordory' at goodwill. Zach said he liked it as a kid and it's 16.99 full price (robbery for a little book!)- I had no luck finding that either but I think I might be able to get it on amazon cheaper.

I think if I'm ever driving through Alpharetta or Buckhead I might stop at the goodwill.

A Must listen

This is interesting- long, but, very worth your time!

My Outdoor Boy

That would be David. He LOVES being outside. Anything to be outside is what he wants to do. Chalk, coupe car, running around, picking weeds, PLAYING WITH THE HOSE, oh boy, he just loves the outdoors. I'm going through my cans of OFF and sweating buckets in this 100 degree heat. 95% of his tempertantrums involve either wanting to go outside or not wanting to go back inside. He didn't get this from me!
