Earlier today Adam was playing his xylophone with a maraca.  He certainly loves music (or maybe just noise).

Some other highlights of our day:

– One major meltdown after he finished his scrambled eggs (this was lunch today) and didn’t want to move on to his pears.  He only wanted more eggs.  Too bad kiddo – two eggs is enough for you. I finally got him to try the pears and then once he realized he liked them too he was happy again.

– One trip to “time out” after he bit my thumb. This he did not like at all.  When I sat him down and walked away he started calling for Daddy – sorry little man, he can’t help you.

– He gave me a concert with the microphone he got from my parents for Christmas. It plays music and he will get a song started and then “sing” in to it. He is quite the little rock star.

– We watched about 50 ducks (and no, I am not exaggerating here) in our neighbors back yard. The would waddle across the yard (generally single file – disproving the “ducks walk two by two” mindset that is so popular in my family) something would spook them and they’d all fly back in to the wooded area behind our house. Then they would get brave and start out again. I love showing him the different animals – three times in the past week we’ve had deer in our yard. One gave me a pretty good scare when it walked right by the kitchen window as I was doing dishes.

All in all, it was a pretty good day.

Oh – and for the record – he’s not mad in this picture.  He was watching the ducks and stopped to show me how he can sniff like a dinosaur. It’s pretty adorable.
