Junk Food Junkie
Jimmy has a new tooth today. Number 8!
Some where along the line one of those cute little teeth turned sweet!
Our little kiddo is turning into a snacker! Mind you, we don't give him mass quantities of the stuff you are about to see, and not all of it is all that bad, we even go organic when possible!
He has discovered as you will see:
Malasadas kinda like a sugar donut
Cheetos especially the big twisty ones!
Pocky mmmmm.....pocky!
And to round it all out
Fresh Steamed Broccoli!
Yes, he is eating broccoli... And he will go to town on raw carrots and apples, too!
That happens to be carrots all over the rest of him if you were wondering.
Meanwhile it is fairly quiet around here with Jeff gone...
I got all the laundry washed and have thought about folding it and putting it away... That might happen tonight to avoid any mishaps. I say this because the cat is misbehaving again! In the 24 hours that Jeff has been gone she has peed on the wall (her litterbox is clean), puked on/in my shoes, chewed through the cord of my cell phone charger and is currently sitting on my pillow on the bed giving me the stink eye.
I really don't understand what her deal is... I don't think she's gotten close enough to me to smell the very nice cat I am feeding while his owner is on vacation...but maybe! I hope not to repeat the late night bug feeding incident, so I have been nothing but nice to her... I not only refilled her food as I do everyday, but emptied it out and washed the bowl and her water dispenser before refilling them, brushed her, put out a nice fleece blanket to sleep on in the sun and I put up a gate to my bedroom so that she can escape Jimmy, who has taken to tackling her at any time...
The gate to the bedroom also benefits me, since Jimmy has learned that drawers are easy to open, and there's stuff inside. Like socks! Underpants! T-Shirts! All of which need to be taken out and displayed. Then toys or crackers can go back into the drawer before Mommy comes in!
I really need to put the laundry away... again! Sigh.

I don't wanna work, I wanna Bang on my Drum All Day!
Good lord what have we done...
I plead temporary insanity!
We bought Jimmy a drum.
But not just a drum, a whole FUN in a Drum KIT!
There are maracas, a tambourine, a harmonica and a drum with flames on it. Also the drum sticks. Ooooohhhh the drum sticks! Very useful for drumming the drum, but also drumming on the floor, drumming on the walls, drumming on the couch, and maybe drumming on the cat, but we're not too sure about that one; she runs too fast! Jimmy does carry the drum sticks around with him drumming as he goes, and has only poked himself in the eye once (I'm still cringing at the thought!)
The maracas are great fun as well, and portable enough to go in the car.
The harmonica still confounds him. Jeff has learned "I've Been Working On The Railroad" - Jeff and the new train obession is a whole other story- but Jimmy has only gotten one surprise note out of it. Not for the lack of trying, mind you... A kazoo might be more Jimmy's speed just yet.
And now the pics. Note the joy on Jimmy and Jeff's faces, and the look of disdain (or is it disgust) on the cat's...

A Breakthrough!!
Yesterday was a great day in the advancement of Jimmy's skills!
He has always been a boy to take toys down and dump them out of any container that the toy is stored in. Dump dump dump! Toys out on the floor, everywhere!!!!
Yesterday, I saw a glimmer of hope...
He sat quietly playing with his sorting blocks and after dumping them and spreading them out, he actually put a few back in the container! Deliberately! Yeah!!!
Other than that I am starting to let Jimmy be in control of the spoon during his mealtimes... It's messy, but has to be done eventually...
Note in the picture how clean and neat the side with the spoon is (almost like it wasn't used at all!)

Pebbles and sticks and leaves, Oh my!
There are many pretty things to see at the Wahiawa Botanical Garden. Unfortunately, there are also mounds and mounds of leaf litter, sticks, berries and rocks for small fingers to pick up and put in a small mouth.
Needless to say, we didn't stay long. But after a nice breakfast, Jimmy was ready for a nap anyway!
While he still can not (or will not because he thinks we're crazy) identify his own nose, Jimmy can almost pronounce "nose". He also has mastered the squat. It seems like just the other day I was telling Jeff that Jimmy would learn to do that soon. Come to think of it, it was just the other day. Last Wednesday, I believe... So no more having to sit down to pick something up off the floor! No!! Now we can pick up toys by just squatting and continue along our merry way!
Hopefully I will be able to capture this on film soon.
Until then, here is Jeff celebrating Father's Day with his boy and also a picture of what I think is the true reason that overalls are such a popular wardrobe pick for young boys...

All the better to bite you with!
A good-ish picture of the newest tooth! Seven total now!
The next one should be up in the next few days or so... we hope!

Today was the latest attack in the flea war, so Jimmy and I had to clear out for the day... We ended up walking around Waikiki, where we walked through the tube. Jimmy did not enjoy it as much as I thought he would... oh well. Tomorrow we will go to the botanical gardens where he can run around and find lots and lots of stuff for mommy and daddy to pick out of his mouth!
