My Funny Duckling

I consider myself a blessed mother because up until today, Tate didn't care what he was wearing. he just knew in order to do fun things, usually go outside, he had to get dressed. Well today, after I had gotten him dressed, he decided his wardrobe was not yet complete and visited the bottom drawer of his dresser to find just the right addition. First thing you need to know is that I don't remember the last time I went through the bottom drawer of his dresser. It holds non essential items like jackets, vests, sweaters, slippers, etc. Things that are fun occasionally, but we don't normally need. Anyway Tate's drawer searching ended with a 6-12 month sweater and was adamant he got to wear it. Who am I to tell him no. So on a day like today with the temperature over 100 degrees my child ran around in a cute little sweater with unhooked snaps down the back. Not only a sweater but his favorite bucket hat too. I finally took the sweater off causing major complaints on the verge of tears around 5 o'clock this evening when his head was drenched in sweat and I determined it had to go. He did take a 3 hour nap this afternoon wearing it though so I think he may be on to something good.

For some reason his tip toes were awesome. He decided it was more fun to spin in circles and work his calves at the same time!

Another break through of his life that happened today is that he asked to sit on the potty. He didn't want to get off. We bribed him off with the chance to flush the toilet. I have good vibes for the future! I just hope it is sooner rather than later...
