The Next Emeril! BAM!!!

Joel walked into G's room and found him "cooking" this past Saturday! Gary gave himself a countertop by propping up the lid to one of his plastic toy bins. Then he added "ingredients" to his "pot." Next, he stirred it with his baseball bat spoon. He even made little sound effects as he shook "spices" from the mini-blind spice rack into the pot! I think the cooking shows I watch during the day are rubbing off on Gary! HA!!

MMMMMmmmmm...

Gary REALLY likes strawberry jam on toast for breakfast! I had to give him a bath after this... he was sticky from head to toe!

Gary's Halloween Pics

Here's G taking off his costume's ears. He never wore them again that night!

Searching through the loot.

"I love you, sucker!!"

All of G's Trick-or-Treat Treasures...not bad for a little guy!

BOO!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Good Thing They're Washable...

I let Gary color with crayons while I made dinner last night. I strapped him in his seat so he couldn't escape and write on our nice, WHITE apartment walls. Instead, he discarded his paper and drew all over the table. I'm glad I got the washable Crayola Crayons; it all came off afterwards!

No-No Potty.

After having so much luck in the beginning with potty training, we've hit a wall. Gary says "no-no potty." I put him on the pot, give him books to look at, etc. He could sit there a half an hour (excruciatingly long for him), and not five minutes after I take him off the pot, he poops his diaper! Ahh! We tell him that big boys poop in the potty. Then we ask if he wants to be a big boy, to which he replies, yes. Then we ask if he'll poop in the potty, and he just says "NO-NO POTTY!" Anyway, I'm open to hints and suggestions from any experienced mommies out there!

MMM, Cake!

Happy Belated 27th Birthday, Kimmie Cotter! Hope it was a good one! Sorry I'm late!

Hi, All!!!

As you can see, I have changed my individual blog to a family-oriented blog. Hopefully, this will help keep us all in touch and give me a place to post pictures of G! Those pictures will soon become more frequent thanks to KIM, who is graciously sending her old digital camera. THANKS KIMMIE!!! It's much appreciated!
