The Top Reasons you KNOW you have a toddler on your hands...

While cleaning up after our dinner tonight (see video below...this is his newest skill he is trying to master) I was thinking of all the changes that have been made since Reese has turned one. He has learned ALOT over the past few months and it just blows my mind what he continues to learn each day...my little baby is a small sponge just soaking it all in as he goes. I LOVE IT!!!

1. He wakes up & can put his passy and love bug in the bed when asked to do so.
2. Loves to have his milk in a sippy cup while eating scrambled eggs, waffles, or any other breakfast food.
3. YELLS at you because he wants to get down and doesn't know the words to tell you.
4. No matter how many times you pick up his toys they will be back out again and all over the place.
5. He blows you kisses from across the room OR runs to you to give you sweet hugs.
6. He goes to his bedroom, points to his bed...wanting his passy and love bug THEN goes towards the kitchen pointing for you to get him milk.
7. Drinks his milk then wants to be put down in his bed to sleep.
8. You clean/ sweep your kitchen floors at least once a day.
9. Get at least three things done, lay down to take a nap yourself and ten minutes later you hear crying.
10. He wiggles to get his diaper changed but knows to switch toys in his hand while you put on his shirt.
11. You look in your vacuum to empty it and there are cheerios in between the dust and dirt.
12. We are learning how to throw tantrums, yell/scream, ignore mommy & daddy when they say NO.
13. We are learning what time out is.
** And the latest, greatest reason I know I have a toddler on my hands is that he loves books! He goes to get (mainly Goodnight Moon) and brings it to us and tries his hardest to sit down in our lap and opens the book for us to read. That melts my heart and makes me grateful to have him in my life! He is our pride and joy, no matter how many tantrums he throws, no matter how many times he yells because he doesn't know words (and I know he will learn them with time), no matter what he does in his life we will always love him unconditionally because that is what God has called me to do. God has given me the most precious gift, other than my marriage to my sweet, sweet husband.
