See, now? That's what I get for doing a last-minute, quickie post. I forget half of the things I wanted to say. A little more funny stuff about Parker that I can't bear to forget in this lifetime:
If he hears any commotion in the kitchen, he sprints in there, grabs one of the little plastic kiddie chairs from our little kid table and pushes it up to the counter. Doesn't matter what I'm doing. Could be just boiling water. He MUST take part or at least be there to watch everything. Uh, yeah, it's cute. And obnoxious. It would be only cute if he gave me some space but, no. He pretty much puts his chair right in front of whatever I'm doing so that I have to stand off to the side and reach around him to do what I'm doing. And if I try to move him over, forget it. Disaster. We have two of these chairs and I wonder why I continue to put them back by their table. They never stay there. Someone's going to break a leg tripping over them one of these days, I'm quite sure. In the meantime, if I've made you cookies, you can pretty much bank on the fact that Parker cracked eggshells into the batter and put his dirty fingers in there, too. Enjoy!
Parker is a master clothes changer. Especially shirts. Oh, the shirts! We probably go through three a day. Either because he got one wet or because it's dirty or just because he found one he likes better. What's so amazing to me is that he always gets them on the right direction. I contrast that with Evan, who pretty much never did, even up to age five or six. I think Evan just didn't care. Parker, however, is quite fashion conscious. He is constantly telling me things he does or does not want to wear. Silly.
Parker has a cute little lisp on words that end in S. I adore it! I get him to say S-ending words as often as I can. Another cute thing that I love is that on words that end in "st", he has a hard time saying them. So he puts a T before that, as in "first" turning into "firtst" and "almost" turning into "almotst". Oh, when that goes away I'm going to be one sad mama. One of my favorite words of his is "remember". It's usually used something like this, "I said don't close the door. Remember, Mama?" He's always asking me if I remember things he's previously told me (usually because I'm selectively forgetting and seeing if he'll catch me - ha!). Not much cuter than 2-year-old talk.

Duuuuude, he already can put on his own shirts???? Even Ethan doesn't do this, lol. Alright Memory, mischief and all, when can Parker come over for a playdate? I need some good influence on Mr. Bennett who's most common phrase is "cars2" 300 times a day while he fingerpaints with his own poop on my walls.
Dried eggs! No more egg shells. Seriously. :) Grubby fingers I've yet to figure out how to get past.
