Chatterbox

As I'm sure most almost 2 year olds go, Timothy has trouble pronouncing some words...for him, it's word's that start with the letter F. For example, fish becomes bish, farmer becomes barmer, you get the idea. It's pretty cute for now though. Tonight in the bath tub he kept saying, "I'm swimming like a bishy!". It was funny. He is really good at pronouncing some words though. Tyler taught him how to say "everybody" which he can say really well when he thinks about it, and he can say Grammy and Grumpy but they really come out Gammy and Gumpy, and he has Meme and Papa down...he calls my sisters Header and Bitty for Heather and Brittany and Ty Ty has always been Ty Ty. It's just so neat to watch how he learns new words and how fast he picks them up!

I really think a lot of it has to do with his daycare. We've been so blessed to have him in the CDC on Fort Lewis, they do an amazing job with those kids. They told Brandon when he called the first time to see if they had openings that they didn't and that since he was only a civilian employee Timothy would be at the bottom of the list but that we should check back every 6 months or so just in case...so when the time came to call in last March we didn't expect much since it had only been 6 months of waiting, but they had a spot and once he's in, he's in for good. Every 6 months we have a parent/teacher conference and when we went in October, his teacher was telling us that they have a different developmental goal that they work on every week and they actually have to have photographic evidence that each child has completed that goal. It's crazy, but he has learned so much since he's been there. He has to wash him own hands, pour his own drink, help clean off the tables, and I still don't know how they get 16 18 month olds to 3 year olds to nap every day! Like I said, it's been such a blessing to have him there.

Anyway, not much else going on. The weather here has been beautiful, yesterday it was 60 and sunny. We took Timothy to the park and watched the ducks. He also got a hair cut yesterday. It's a little shorter than I wanted it, but it will grow out nice. This weekend we have our Ladies Retreat at church. I'm so excited, I love Ladies Retreat. This year I was in charge of the skit...not my strongest skill, but I found a really funny one online and two ladies graciously agreed to be actresses! I'll let you know how it went when I get back. I wanted to add pictures of his new hair cut and some bath time fun...but blogger isn't letting me right now...I'll save them for another time!
