Happy Mirthday, Rowan!

Here's what the man has been in to for the past month...

• Likes: Just about every kind of raw fruit and veggie. He likes his veg cooked, too. Lately he has been all about peanut or almond butter sammiches. Chick-fil-a is a favorite. He calls it "the French fry place". On the way home from school the other day he pointed out the Chick. The conversation went like this:

Rowan: There's the French fry place!

Me: Oh, yeah. It is.

Rowan: We like French fries. We sure do.

Me: They are good. But we're going to have chicken and noodles tonight.

Rowan: I like French fries.

• Dislikes: Raw tomatoes are not his thing, but he'll eat tomato products just fine. He sometimes likes to make a fuss about bedtime, bath time, school, and eating, but I think he does it just because - to test us. He also doesn't like it if Raleigh is getting too much attention, especially from my parents.
• Skills: What can't he do? He's such a big boy. Potty training is going great. Last week he had zero accidents at school and home. Jeremy got him some Thomas undies and I think that has helped. He doesn't want to get Thomas wet. He's also practicing taking off and putting on his shoes and clothes.

As I have mentioned, Rowan is a funny guy. Here are some funny stories.

Rowan on the potty...

R: Grab me a book.

Me: I don't think you need a book. Isn't this a quick trip?

R: No. I need to poop. I need a book when I poop. That's my rules.

To the cat, who was fighting with a toy...

"No, Foxy. No bites. Use your words."
