Not me. CJ. He’s started holding food with his toes and eating it.
YUCK.
Really, I have nothing to add to that. We do stop him, I promise. Ugh. Just, yuck.
Being a parent is sometimes a little weirder than I ever imagined.

I was making waffles for myself, and Alexa came over to beg some of what I had from me. I handed her a piece of a cooled-off waffle, and she took one look, threw it on the floor, and held out her hand again. I cleaned up the mess, asked her not to do it again, and gave her a whole unbroken waffle. She happily toddled away.
And then CJ came over. Not wanting to make the same mistake twice, i handed him an entire waffle as well. He took one look, handed it back, and said “Smaller mommy, I want pieces.” Which I complied with.
Kids. Such a puzzle.

Alexa’s figured out how to undress. And take off her diaper. She is very pleased with this accomplishment and demonstrates it often.
In the morning, and after naps, when you walk into her room, you are greeted by a little girl in a crib, standing on her head but with her feet on the mattress as well, so she makes kind of like a upside-down V.
With her bum up in the air. Her very bare bum.
Someday I am going to find a puddle. Or worse.

Yesterday I pulled an shorts and shirt outfit out of Alexa’s closet and held it up to her. She yelled NOOOO, grabbed it, and threw it on the floor. She then lunged at her clothes rack, and when I held her so she could reach, she pulled out a huge poofy frilly dress. Which she proceeded to rub against her cheek and coo at.
She did many twirls in her poofy dress all day, and fluffed her skirt about a hundred times.
Seriously, I am in trouble.

Last week, I was driving with the kids and on the entrance ramp to the highway, traffic slowed to a virtual halt. there was an accident up ahead, not that I had known that when I chose to go on the highway, and from the entrance ramp there wasn’t much I could do about it. We were putting along slowly, barely moving, when i hear CJ pipe up from the backseat “Look! There’s the other house!”.
And as I looked over to the right, I realized we were passing the apartment complex we used to live in. We pass it several times a month, and you can clearly see it from the highway, but we’re usually moving too quickly for CJ to notice I guess. But the thing is - I had no idea he really remembered the apartment at all - we moved a bit before his third birthday. And, for that matter, I can’t believe he recognizes it from the highway view.
He then told me about how he and Daddy played outside there and threw a ball and all about the geese and the pond and the walks they used to take there. In fact, he did remember, quite clearly, living there and playing there. I asked him if we wanted to go back and see it and he said no, it was too far away. He seemed happy to go back to our house.
But still it amazes me how much he remembers about things that happened close to two years ago now.
