Ever changing....

Gentry is keeping us busy these days.....

Between work, bathtime, grocery shopping, cleaning, and finding time for sleep.....Robby & I can hardly keep up - BUT we wouldn't trade it for the world. Everyone talks about the terrible 2's. And for sure - we have those moments (not days, moments - thank the Lord, I'm sure days are still to come). But what is most exciting is watching Gentry absorb so many new things from new words - shapes - sounds - new activities - etc. Like never before - Gentry wants to do it himself. He finds joy in helping put in a load of laundry and pressing the start button or picking out his pajamas after his night time bath or getting his own big boy pants (diapers), buckling himself into his carseat. I love it. To see him take ownership of things and having opinions about things is so cool. "Boy".....I think I'm going to regret saying that one day. =)

Another awesome thing to watch is seeing him be "all-boy". He loves playing with trucks, cars, and choo-choo trains. He enjoys watching UK basketball, Cincinnati Bengals (even when they lose), and Cincinnati Reds. Just last night, we were watching the Cats and Gentry was so into it. He would cheer at the appropriate times and was so bummed when they would miss a shot. =)

This summer will be very exciting - going to watch Robby playing softball and run around at the park.

Gentry is still a picky eater. I can't say that enough - Gentry is still a picky eater. From time to time - he will surprise us and actually want whatever you are having. But most of the time, whatever we put in front of him - he has zero interest in trying or looking at - for that matter. My mom tells me that I was the same way - I guess this is punishment for driving my mom crazy for so many years being a picky eater as well.

Gentry is doing really well in daycare (school as we call it). He can count to 12, say quite a few of the ABC's, and knows all his shapes.....even hexagon & octagon- I was shocked! He enjoys music and watching Elmo or Diego. His favorite movies are Cars, Stuart Little 1 & 2. He's a big help in the bath tub - he will wash his own hair and rinse himself by dunking the whole cup of water over his head. =) It's hilarious! It gets me excited about summer time and going to the pool. =)

Lastly, potty training is upon us......any advise? We have bought the "real" big boy pants/underwear. But I think we just have to bit the bullet and do it. We'll keep you all posted. I have a feeling a lot of "sheet changing" is in my near future.

Stay tuned....
