Owen got out all his wooden food this morning and just made mushroom soup!

Kid in a Box v3
I swear this kid is a cat—if there’s an empty box big enough, he’s in it!
Robot Owen
Owen using his imagination
I just started asking him what else an empty tube could be…and he really impressed me with ideas!
And then my phone cut off and stopped recording because I was out of space. So not to leave you hanging, he was saying Diego Legos.
Our ninja
Face mask!
Or, just another thing from Owen’s imagination!
Robot legs as guns. Of course.
Egg noses
Owen found half of an Easter egg, which immediately became a nose.
Then he got Papa involved after showing him how to hold it up without using your hands.
And Eskimo kisses!
Fighting!
Owen with a stainless steel jar top and rubber baby spoon…and Papa with a Captain America shield and ruler. 🙂
Knight Owen
Owenisms 11
Owen and I are sitting on opposite ends of the couch:
I’m sitting over here. And you’re way over there.
Owen crawling in front of Katie:
I’m in the lead!
He reaches the tile kitchen floor:
This floor is cold!
Playing with a cat’s tail while sitting in the chair:
Here’s the rope. Wait! It’s Charlie’s tail!
Playing Captain America
Owen + Play-Doh = Art!
I’m still surprised Grannie got him to play with it!
Owen’s new bed
Owen was gathering up pillows from the living room…and he took his B…and this is what Tom found:
I’m a mermaid.
Says Owen.
Yes, he loves Xbox Lego Pirates of the Caribbean.
Then more bath cuteness:
Owen’s torch.
A la his XBOX Lego games (Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean)—used to light campfires, lights (like in a lighthouse), cannons, and dynamite.
And it’s about as crafty as I get…a piece of wrapping paper tube and red tissue paper. 🙂
Mom, I’m a ninja.
Santa Penguin
This is where Owen decided the Santa hat should go. 🙂
Picnic!
Owen wanted to have a picnic, so who am I to say no? (We used the remnants of the Chik-Fil-A breakfast Tom brought home for me.)
Lorax Acting
Owen loves acting out scenes in the movie and singing along in different parts. Here he is pretending to be the main character Ted 1) putting on the goggles and 2) riding the motorcycle.
Helping daddy in the garage
Oh, the adventures Owen has out in the garage with Tom…
First, just sitting and watching while having a snack and watching Netflix on Tom’s phone.
The scantily clad pirate is unable to lock the door with the key he found.
Right now he is enjoying playing Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures on the XBOX
He wanted to be closed in.
And “building” with some screwdrivers and energy drinks that he pulled off the shelf.
Multiple phone calls
Owen playing with his toy phone this morning:
The phone’s ringing. That means people are calling. Talk to phone next to ear.
Grandpa’s calling. Hi grandpa. What’s up? See you soon. Okay bye.
Mommy!! Okay mama, what’s up?
Oh! Gramma’s calling me?! Hi! I’ll call you back as soon as I can!
That was grandpa and gramma and grandma Marsha and mama! In this phone! Right here!
Hi gramma. What’s up?
Train & Pirate Ships
Mama—it’s an amazing train!
Mama! Look at all the pirate ships!
Morning Owenisms
Owen: This is a volcano race car.
Me: Volcano?
Owen: Yeah, it’s got lava on it!
Mom, I’m going to school. There’s the bus!
Mom, when you see the star, say star. [He hides the plastic star and slowly moves it into sight.]
[After pooping in the potty] Mom, sing the song!
These race cars are flashing. They need flashing for speed.
Mom, what was that? I’m going to find out.
Watch! I’m going to make some noises! [Presses button on a new toy to start the sound.] Awesome! [He hands Katie’s to her.] We’re sharing! I’m sharing with Katie!
[Watching Sesame Street] Those are grapes! I like grapes.
A new cupcake!
Oooh! Look at the new cupcake!
Bug eyes!
Or, fun with Katie’s bottle tops.
Boats
This morning, these were boats.
From utter frustration to melting heart in five minutes…
Look what happened when I left him alone for 10 minutes today…
SERIOUSLY?! UGH.
I told him I wasn’t happy because he made a mess—and that he shouldn’t take Katie’s clothes out of her drawers, but reasoning with a toddler is pointless at best. I also told him he had to help me pick it all up, so he handed me a few pieces and then he was done. 😐 I didn’t even have the energy to finish dealing with it right then…but he’ll definitely be helping me pick it all up later.
Of course, he followed it up with something super cute…but I was still fuming a bit over the mess.
And THEN he does something super sweet…Katie was crying so he grabbed the bottle and started to feed her.
Ahhh, life with a toddler. From utter frustration to melting heart in five minutes…
Look at all the cupcakes!
It started slowly. First just a handful of K-cups. Then a few more trips. Setting them up all nice.
“Mama! Look at all the cupcakes!”
Then I walked into the kitchen and saw he had completely emptied the drawer. 🙂
Santa’s coming!
He found the tiny Santa hat (from when he was a lot smaller) and was having a ball. We had also been watching a Christmas-themed Backyardigans, which I think is where he got the bit about the sleigh. Of course, I could never get him to wear the hat when it actually fit him…
