Current Obsessions

Toddlers are pretty infamous for finding one or two things they like and becoming obsessed with them. Well Mo is no different and right now LOVES shoes. It doesn't matter who they belong to or what they look like, he wants to wear them. Just this week Mo figured out how to get his own crocs on his feet, which is a pretty big deal because those things can be a pain. 

He is also in love with going outside now that it is getting warm. Usually we will kick the soccer ball around, play with his trucks, blow bubbles, or take walks. Lately Marcus wants to play with the sidewalk chalk. He isn't usually a fan of coloring but he seems to really like the fact he is allowed to draw on whatever he wants outdoors.
          

 Last but not least is Mo's love of books, which to those that know me is probably not surprising. We now have to read a story before both nap and bed time. And he has an entire collection of Disney books downstairs that he browses through during the day.

My current obsession with Marcus is teaching him manners. He knows how to say please and thank you but doesn't quite get exactly when to say them. So now when he asks for something, we remind him to say "peas." And when we give him something, we remind him to say "tankoo." We will work on you're welcome and excuse me once he gets these down. Some people spend time on colors and numbers at this age but I think there is plenty of time for that. People with good manners are few and far between lately and I think it is disrespectful and rude. My child will not be that way if I can help it.

Logan has really started to follow me with his eyes when I'm walking around. He also loves to stare at Mo, makes him smile every time. His new favorite place to nap is his swing and will occasionally hang out in the bouncy chair. He really isn't a fan of his car seat or the sun but here is a picture we got of him hanging outside with Mo and I yesterday.
