Questions of a curious boy...

Trey has started asking "What's that?" in the last week. It really caught me off guard at first because it sounds more like "What that" & he pointed at something. I realized he was asking literally what is that. Now he points to lots of things & asks. Then he started asking "happened?" & now "What happened?" when something surprises him. He is very curious & I know that the next question will be "Why?" any day now!

I am guilty of neglecting the blog lately & can't believe its been since early May that I posted last. Planning our 10th anniversary trip has taken up all my free time! Trey spent last Saturday at his grandparents house & had so much fun playing in the water. He told me "waterhose" as soon as he woke up the next morning. So I know he will have a blast staying there while Ruben & I are gone but I will miss him so! My mom (Nana) & dad (Papa) can't wait until they have him there all to themselves.

Trey is growing so tall. His head is just below my belly button! I tried to measure him w/ by having him stand against the wall & got 38 inches. He didn't stand still for very long as you can imagine, I don't know how accurate that is. He was 34" in January. He will be 2 1/2 July 18. And now he's about 35 pounds.

He is also saying little sentences & telling us all kind of things that happen at his daycare. It is so funny to hear him tell me things. He is saying "yea & yep" now for yes. Ruben told him a couple of weeks ago "let's go to the car" & he said "No I will not"! He wasn't ready to leave some friends house. But the park is his favorite place to go & after being there for hours, he still cries when we leave.

We're still in the beginning stages of potty training & the brace does not help with that. Otherwise, he's adjusted well to the brace. He will say the words "potty train" to me now & sit on his potty but nothing is happening yet. He is wearing pull-ups but does not get it that he can pull them down. So I'm still waiting on that "light switch" moment to happen where he decides to do it.

Elmo is still his favorite but he is also really liking "Thomas the Train" lately. We have one movie that he watches in the minivan but we haven't seen it on TV yet. He likes the music & loves trains. He also likes "Between the Lions". He saw part of a show last week & started trying to sing their theme song without the music playing. It was hilarious to hear him sing "between the lions"!

And for any of you still wondering, his eyes are still very blue. His hair is very thick & grows fast now. It is still blonde/light brown & seems to get lighter the more he's in the sun.
