Dark Rich Coconut

I was in the living room and Lilly came out
Lilly - "Mom I want dark rich coconut for snack"
Me - "What are you talking about?"
Lilly- "On TV there was a comercial for dark rich coconut and I want that for snack"

Almond Joy has had quite a few comericals on lately and she had just seen one. After I figured out what she was talking about I was amused. (We don't have those in our pantry, so she didn't get dark rich coconut for snack.)

Beach 2010

We have returned from our annual beach trip with the Hatcher's. Lot's of fun and Lilly and I would gladly move to the beach. She and I would go out in the morning to the beach and stay until lunch time. She easily entertained herself and even made friends. (imagine that) Jackson LOVED the beach and pool, however he was a lot of work and being in the ocean for some reason did a number on his allergies. He was happy to spend most of his time with Grandaddy. He did lock himself in the bathroom the first day there and we had to break the door handle out to rescue him. I was relieved he didn't eat anything while in the bathroom. Jackson's latest word "la,la" = Heidi. He has Rob down pat and as usually loved on Rob.

Snake, Snails, and Puppy Dog Tails

Jackson is now 20 months old. WOW! So close to two and showing all signs of being all boy. He is still so very loving and sweet, but sure knows how to cause mischeif.
-Has pooped on the potty several times, peeing less (this is a challenge from a girl from an all girl world.)
-cookie, pee-pee, cold, hot, Lilly, Gran, Daddy, Mama, Papa, Granny, dog. chewing gum, go (he says whenever I stop the car), lawn mower, shoes, golf-cart, night-night, love you, corn, pop tart, juice, lawn mower, out, hold = most of his vocabulary
-LOVES to dance to music, he is supposed to sing in church Sunday, but I don't see that happening. He will be too worried about getting to Mama or Grandaddy.
-Cries when he is taken off the lawn mower
-Still really loves his Mama. Cries when I leave him, even if it is with Gran
-LOVES LOVES LOVES Lilly. I hope that she will one day realize how much he loves her and love him that much.
-Likes to sleep by himself in his bed
-Loves to talk on the phone
-Ketchup is his favorite food
-Makes cute silly faces
-Plays hard, but is very sweet in his play, he let's the bigger kid get the toy. We will have to work on taking up for himself.
