Look out world....he's singing!!!

Today marks a huge milestone for our little tantrum thrower. His new mastery is SINGING!!! My mom and I witnessed the cutest thing today. He crawled up on the piano bench today and started playing away while making some noises that sounded like singing. Then I realized what those sweet noises were. He was singing the "B-I-B-L-E"! Just banging, quite musically I might add, on the keys and signing the song at the top of his lungs. At the end he yelled out "Bible"! Then we learned a new song this evening. You know the vowel song with eating epples and iteing ipples. He can't sing along as well but he will just sing repeatedly "eat, eat, eat" or "ite, ite, ite". So if you're keeping our son and he chants "eat, eat, eat" he may just be singing and not requesting cookies. This is something else he does well is request sweets. I know, I know...I tell people every day not to eat sweets, yet my son has a mega sweet tooth. I blame that all on Molly, because she HAS to be the reason I eat ice cream almost every night ;)

Oh and on an unrelated note to singing...I have to share the best attitude problem I witnessed from my sweet almost 2 year old. Mark alerted me to the fact that he had his "forbidden" saline bottle last night by laughing hysterically and running away from me. (He knew it was "forbidden" the night before when I told him he couldn't play with it.) Needless to say my little boy knew he was being very mischievous. After at least two times of telling him to bring it to his mommy and that it wasn't a toy...he decided to give it to me alright! Picture it, a little boy with a miffed look inching his way to you with his arm cocked behind his head as he prepares to launch the saline bottle at your head. I informed the little defiant child that he could not throw that at his mommy, and next thing I know the saline bottle is returned to my hand in the form of a slap to my palm and then there goes the eye roll. Seriously?! Already getting appropriate use of an eye roll! He's not even two!!! The teenage years are going to be a REAL test of my patience :) Oh and then Molly will follow soon after and learn from his great example. Can't wait! I do love being a mommy!
