Busy Weeks

It was a crazy couple of weeks, as I was traveling for work the past two weeks. Two weeks ago I was in Long Island, NY and last week I was in CT, which was beautiful!! I loved CT! I learned a lot and had a great time training, but traveling is exhausting (especially with layovers on EVERY flight)!

S0, what's new here?!?! Bishop started visiting the new toddler room at daycare in the mornings. He has gone 2 mornings now and he's really enjoying it. He eats breakfast with the big kids and drinks out of a real glass (no lid)! I'm not sure how they maneuver that one, but they say he's been doing really well. Luke dropped him off Friday since I was out of town and I dropped him off this morning and I was kind of sad bringing him to a new room. I know he's ready for it, and I was surprised I was sad (he's just visiting after all)! :)

Both Luke and I were out of town one night last week, so Bishop got to play with nana and papa that night. His Great Grandparents Ray and Darlene came to visit and they went out for dinner and had a blast!

It is nice to be home this week. Bishop is so much fun and has so much energy! It's amazing how much he understands and how well he listens. I can ask him to do things now and he'll do them. For example I will ask him to get his socks and shoes and bring them to me and he will! I'll ask him to sit down so we can put them on and he does! It's great! There are more situations like that too.

Bishop can now tell you what a dog says and what a cow says and then he'll clap for himself after he does. He is OBSESSED with dogs--he absolutely LOVES them! When we go for walks and he sees a dog, he'll start kicking and flailing his arms because he wants to get out and pet the dog. I have to ask just about everyone we meet if he can pet their dog. Don't worry...we will not be getting a dog anytime soon, although I know he would love one! :)

He has also recently learned how to "make things work"...for example he can push the buttons on his books or toys to make them start up or make noise. It's fun that he can entertain himself. He loves to play outside and when he's sitting he's always crossing his ankles/legs.

I never really knew what people meant when they said "he's all boy", but I completely understand now....Bishop is ALL boy and what I mean is he's into everything, not afraid of anything and has more energy than I know what to do with at times! He's at such a fun age and he's able to communicate to let us know what he wants and doesn't want (including playing with the electric toothbrush--he ALWAYS wants to play with that). He's also a VERY good eater...there are a few things he doesn't like, but for the most part he'll eat whatever we're eating and then some!

Bishop will be 15 months old soon-I cannot believe it!! The time continues to fly by, but we're enjoying it as much as we can!
