My P-Rex

I love the age that Preston is at right now.
He still likes to be held by his Mama (although today he called me Mommy), but is independent.
Not to mention hilarious.

But there are a few things that he does that I find adorable.

Like:

Whenever he has something & it's cold, or he thinks its cold he'll test it out by pulling up his shirt and putting the cold thing against his belly. That's his cold tester! Of course then he wants everyone else in the room to feel on their bellies how cold it is. 


He LOVES playing with his big building blocks. He will sit and build with them a lot during the day. For some reason though he always wants to taste the blocks. I have no idea where this came from. He doesn't really taste/lick them, he just pretends like he's tasting them. Then he'll go "mmm...good" and offer some to you.

He makes a "silly face". If you say "show me your silly face you get this face: 

 It consists of eyes completely shut & squinty and a big smile. It's adorable.

He knows all his colors now & points them out everywhere. He loves sitting at a stoplight and then yelling out when its GREEN or yellow or red. Speaking of red lights, he loves playing red light/green light. He'll play by himself by running around the kitchen and living room and say red and stop then green and go. 

He very much wants everyone to be involved in everything he does. For example, if he's saying the "open shut them" song from Nursery he wants EVERYONE in the room to do the motions. Even Jaxton. Even the dog Jack. He likes to try to make Jack dance & clap.
He insists on showing Jaxton EVERYTHING. When he gets dressed in the morning he wants to show Jaxton the shirt he's wearing. If he doesn't make a mess in his room during nap time then he wants to tell Jaxton. If he goes pee in the potty he tells Jaxton. It's super cute. 

His potty training is going well! The first day was awful. The 2nd day was better, 3rd day even better. He's now at the point where he will sometimes tell me if he has to go to the bathroom & we haven't had an accident since Wed night *knock on wood*. We still put him in a diaper at bedtime & if we go out, but I'm very pleased with his progress. 

He's just such a cute boy. And so GOOD.

Kids are cute at every age, but at each stage with Preston I think "how can this kid get any cuter? There's no way!" but then he grows up a little and becomes even more unbelievably adorable. I love to remember when you were pregnant with him and I would try and imagine how he would be and how he'd look. I love who this little boy has turned out to be!
