Tucker keeps on getting new tricks. This week he learned how to take the caps off the markers by himself and color. He made his first real works of art... multi-colored scribbles, which are hanging up on the refrigerator.
He was so into coloring yesterday that he started trying to color his afternoon snack (you know, draw ON the bread...). He looks like such a big boy deciding to go over to his table and color--and being able to do the whole process by himself. Leaves more time for Mommy to blog!
His other new activity is watching Baby Einstein. Previously he hasn't had any interest in the TV, but Baby Einstein is rocking this little boy's world. It isn't something that entertains him while I do something else, though... he is only interested if he is sitting in my lap, while I narrate what everything on the video is. Still, he has been sick for six days now, and a half hour of Baby Einstein a day is a welcome diversion for both of us.
What else? Tucker is REALLY into books right now. Last night, I hid several that he wanted read to him over and over and over and over again yesterday. Yes, it's bad to hide books from a sick child... but I was about to fall ill myself from all the repetition! His favorites are the ones with pictures of babies/kids and with trucks, so we went to the library and got some new alternatives to break up the monotony.
Other than reading Mighty Movers approximately 100 times yesterday, we're having a quiet week. Tucker's wheezing and has a fever, but apparently my friends' kids are all dealing with the same bug.
