Silly little things about this kiddo...

Oliver Today: 
Played: in the yard. Slept: in the car. Pee'd: in his potty, in the yard. Ate: in the bathtub. 
Not too obvoious that the prevailing parenting m.o. is Whatever Works. 
I have learned (and am learning) to go with the flow...

Tonite, he handed me a piece of bread that (honestly) had been on his table since lunch, said to me 'Here, take this. This is ancient.' Right. 

He watched at least a dozen aircraft of one form or another (one containing his father) from helicoptor to jet take off/land at the airport today.

Everything issuing from the O. seems to by rhyming and in rapid succession and has an -inski or -ooski ending (chinski, penski, henski, whenski, dadooski, shoeski, mamooski, etc.)...some kind of latent Dr. Seuss influence? My personal favorite is nope-ski dope-ski.

When asked what he wanted to do for his birthday, he thought, then responded 'Take photos of Araya Berdinka and eat cupcakes.' Check. 

This morning, successfully executed a couple of #1's, followed by a #2, in his potty, on his own, then again later (the former thankfully) in the yard. Almost has almost mastered the art of missing his feet.

Imagination is wild. He has a toy drill that is a 'donut gun' and he shoots donuts into your mouth. Somehow has tapped into my secret fantasies...

When 'sharing' a Mallard strawberry cone with him this afternoon, I was instructed, firmly, to 'lick, but don't bite, lick, but don't bite'. Yep. My kid.
