Cool Truck

So a while back I went to a tool store to get some tools for one of the many home improvement projects going on. I took Bella and Rowan with me, so Peg could sleep in. We get to the store (which is a little mom and pop type tool place with great deals) and get out of the car. Bella hopes out one side, and closes the door; I help Rowan out the other side and let him shut the door. We then start walking up to the store. I check at the door to make sure I am being followed by all my little ones, and notice that Rowan is missing.

I walk back to the car and find him on the other side of the car staring at the parking lot. I asked him what was up; he pointed and said "Cool truck!". I didn't even know his vocabulary was that good. I look and there is a big home-modified raised truck with a few spots of bondo. I guess this is what a 2 year old thinks is cool in a truck. He does love cars and the “cool truck” kept his attention.

Now days when we drive by construction he loves to look at the big construction trucks and comment. And he loves to point out “cool trucks” when we are driving.

Babysitting

Just wanted to blog about this small snipet of conversation with Bel. Yesterday I had to have some dental work done and since my mom hasn't seen my kids in awhile I thought it would be great that she watch them.

So Bel and Ro are in the back yard playing in the dirt and I tell them to come in.

"Come on, we have to go get ready to go get nana." I tell them.
Of course Ro says no. (He says no to everything, terrible twos, go figure.)
But Bel asks me "Which nana?" I tell her my nana. This is what she replied.

"NO I DON'T WANT TO! SHE'S NOT MY FAVORITE!"


SO FUNNY!!!! I told my mother and she laughed. Thanks for not taking it to heart ma!

Just an Update

Hello out there friends and relatives. Sorry it has been so long but I got busy with the kids. Tana is now 6m old and is getting to be a big girl. She can pull herslef up now and walks along the furniture as well. Rowan has started talking to strangers...ie nursery leaders and such. He is also potty training and has got the basics down. We're still workning on how to get our pants down and telling mommy we have to go. Bella is doing great she's so tall. She's a great big sister and likes to help with Tana. But she's still so timid with people. She at least talks to some family. NICK HAS PASSED HIS PE EXAM!!!!!!! Otherwise I'm fine. I have plenty of projects to keep me busy and the house and the kids. So thats the Eckhardt family in a nut shell.
