Little Gentleman

Zade is quite the little gentleman. Today he had a little bowl of food that he was eating while wandering around the kitchen. Somehow some of the food spilled out, so he (at a little over 18 months of age) just decided on his own to go clean it up. He wandered over and grabbed the broom and began trying to sweep up the pieces.

Since that wasn't working too well, he grabbed the dust pan, put the pieces inside, and then dumped the food in the garbage. It was so cute.

This week Aria also said something pretty hilarious. Aria was sitting in a chair with her arms resting on the table, and as usual, was pulsing in her seat. (Anyone who's ever spent much time with her knows what I'm talking about). Tara then asked Aria why she always pulses in her seat. Aria responded, "because I like to." She paused for a second, and began quoting one of her favorite shows, Yo Gabba Gabba, and sung "Try it! You'll like it! Try it! You'll like it!" (I tried finding the official video on the show's website, but it's not available. However, here's another video clip we love to use to get the kids to eat food: There's a party in my tummy

 Another time this week Aria was sitting in her chair pulsing and Tara said, "Hey Aria, are you ready to go?" And Aria said, "Just a minute. I just need to pulse some more." She continued pulsing for 1 minute, and then said, "Ok, I'm ready." :) She's a funny little girl. Here's a pic (form a different occasion) of Aria in the pulsing position. By the look on her face, you can tell what she thought about my idea to take a picture of her. (Not pleased) :)
