push ups

every night erik does pushups. 

 this means that every night parks does pushups. 

today while reading a book parks felt the need to do a few pushups.

shampoo

for some reason i love to get parks new shampoo.  (i can even tell you every bottle of shampoo and baby wash that he has used since he was born)

 tonight parks and i ventured to target to buy his new shampoo.  I lined up all the bottles that he could choose from and he started to sniff.  (he has the cutiest little sniff in the world)

After 10  min and a million sniffs we decided on "cherry jams"  as soon as we got home parks had erik sniff his new shampoo.  Farwell "orange mango outburst" and hello

"cherry jams'

As we were headed up to pay parks felt the need to ride in the back of the shopping cart holding his bottle of shampoo. when we reached the convor belt parks used all of his strength to throw his shampoo on the counter so that we could pay.  He then remembered that he had not picked out a treat so he climbed out of the cart grabbed some m&ms and made it back just in time to swipe the card.

medicine

parks really likes medicine,

and he always has.

 the other night he had a slight fever (he is getting new teeth) and erik asked him if he wanted medicine. 

He was super excited and got ready.

After the medicine parks decided to take "tone" on a ride.  They made it all the way to the bathroom before they crashed.

  parks made sure to grap "tone" before fleeing the scene.

tyrone

parks would like you all to meet his best friend tyrone aka "tone" 

 "tone" goes everywhere with us. 

Parks is so funny he always treats "tone" just like we treat him (but we do not carry parks around by the neck). 

 He will have "tone" point to things and then he will tell them what they are, at church he kept showing "tone" the lights and the speakers, "tone" also had to sit on parks lap, just like parks was sitting on dads lap.

  Everytime parks wants to be picked up he will say me.  the other day "tone" was on the floor, parks walked by and said me then picked up "tone" 

We love our parks, and parks loves "tone"

noodles

Monday for lunch parks and i had noodles.

  Parks loves "noods" he was so excited when i showed him the box. 

While our noodles were cooking we had

chips, salsa, and a diet coke. 

Parks is my bestest buddy in the whole wide world.

basketball

parks has turned into a daddys boy.  he just kicked me out of the room he wants "dadee" to put him to sleep... so i quess i will blog.  parks loves to play with dad.  on satuday erik had to spend more time than normal at the library, and parks was not a fan.  everytime that we would walk into the house he would yell "dadee" and was so sad that no one answered. 

 Since then parks wont let erik leave his side 

On Sunday erik and parks played basketball.  Parks found that if he stood on the chair it is a whole lot easier to make a basket.

 

dunkin donuts

on friday night we went to dinner and then on a little drive.

  on the way home erik saw a dunkin donuts. 

erik loves dunkin donuts

(i think it is because it reminds him of being a kid in florida) so we stopped to get a treat. 

 Parks was so excited to get a "don" his grandpa introduced him to donuts a couple of months ago and since then he always wants one. 

Parks even told the man what donut he wanted. 

the whole car ride home parks kept saying "don" and pointing to his open mouth. 

 so dunkin donuts we love you and will be back often because nothing is better than a "don"

laundry

My little parks is being such a good little helper. 

he loves to help me with the laundry.  His favorite thing to wash is his "blanket". 

 as you can he he would put his blanket in the basket and then the basket into the dryer. 

 i love that i get to spend everyday with parks.

little boy

my baby is no longer a baby.  now he is a little boy. 

 The other night parks discovered that if you take the cushion off of the couch it makes it a lot more fun. 

 Everyday he starts acting more like a little mischevious boy. 

 i love that at the end of the day there are toys all over the living room floor,

 cushions off of the couch, and little action figures everywhere.  Every night as i clean up it makes me smile.

guns

the other day during lunch dad made parks and himself some guns. 

parks was so cute running around the family shooting everything. 

he even used his chair as a fort.  he is so funny
