Some Little Things

This is going to be one of those random posts where I have lots of little things to say, but nothing big.  

Tucker has learned to do "thumbs up." The only problem is, he doesn't exactly get the part about putting your thumb up. We were out walking the other day and he was giving everyone a thumbs up without his thumb.... :)

I just really like this picture of Tucker and the Pugs.  Here Tucker is reading a book to the dogs. He loves the girls so much!

While on the topic of Tucker, I have to share a few things. He is "getting" more and more words each day and some of the things that he says are hysterical and some are beyond cute.  Coop and I bought him a new toothbrush today while he was napping.  When I gave it to him, he walked into the other room to find Cooper and said, "Nate, Bu-per."  Translation: "Thanks, Cooper." He did this all on his own with no prodding at all from me.  Just within the last week or so, he has started using descriptive and feeling words. He has told me that he is sad and when something scared him. He told me that one of Coop's Lego guys is "bad" (he has a mean face). He is also into the word, "cute," although he says something like, "dute."  All animals are "dute."  The other day after I dressed him, I asked him if he looked cute and he immediately went to the mirror to look at himself. When he and Coop play, he calls Coop either "sir" or "guy."  You can hear him in the other room saying, "Guy! Guy!" to Coop while they play.  I guess I could go on and on about Tucker, but I will stop here.  

Oooo! I could eat this boy up!

Manzie celebrated her 11th birthday this week.  I cannot believe it has been 11 years. I really feel like we just brought her home a few years ago.  Cooper is still wishing that she or Tofie would have a baby/puppy.  So cute, but so not going to happen. Sorry Coop.

 This is Coop's latest "funny." I handed him a t-shirt and a pair of underwear. The undershirt went on his body and the underwear on his head.  Being that he is five now and anything related to the potty, undergarments or biological functions is funny, this was absolutely hysterical to him (and us) and has been repeated daily ever since. He, by the way, requested that this picture be taken and asked if we can "keep the picture forever."  Well, here it is Coop-- immortalised forever on blogspot!

Tucker is not far behind in his fascination with bodily functions, although at a totally different level.  Today, he saw that Manzie's "wee wee" pad was dirty and took it upon himself to throw it away and replace it-- times 8.
