Soap and a "boo boo"

I caught Tucker unpacking the new bars of soap we bought today. They come three to a package, and he had managed to get them out (but they still had the individual wrappers on them). He was methodically lifting up his shirt and rubbing each bar of soap on his belly. I asked him if he was clean yet after the first four or five bars and he said "No, Tucker still not clean" (he wanted to use ALL the bars).

His other new trick lately is removing his diaper and pajama pants at night. He doesn't like wearing diapers anymore, and so he just takes them off. Two nights ago when we were still up after he had gone to bed we heard him over the monitor saying "boo boo, boo boo." Anyway, apparently a "boo boo" can also apply to being uncomfortable because he is cold, having removed the bottom half of his clothes. Last night when I went to check on him before we went to bed, he was lying on his tummy, bum up, completely naked from the waist down. It was pretty funny.

Today the library was closed, the playground was still snowy, so I decided to take a trip to a local antique store that has a train table for its youngest patrons... but it ended up being closed. Tucker was so disappointed, adament that we couldn't just go home, so I took him to the thrift store to play. He ended up finding a plastic dollhouse, stuffing it full of trucks and cars, and then having to be dragged out of the place crying because he wanted to bring the dollhouse with trucks home so badly.
