Since we had filled the tubs with water to ride out Hurricane Irene, we didn’t want to waste it all by just letting it empty, so we added some hot water and let Owen take a bath in a FULL TUB! Of course none of those pictures really turned out, but he had a blast…
The show Owen was watching had a catchy tune playing and people dancing, so I started to dance and said “Mama dance!” Owen got right up from the couch and said “No! Owen Dance!”
I just had to fish two Matchbox cars out of the toilet. :down:
But man was he having fun in the bathroom when I caught him!
So I had left off Owen’s PJ bottoms since I had anticipated potty training activities today and wanted it to be as easy as possible. After the tantrum, I just left them off.
So imagine my surprise when I came upstairs with his pre-nap snack…and saw his diaper on the couch next to him! He was just sitting there watching TV.
WHAT?
Yeah, it’s the first time he’s EVER taken off his diaper!
So of course I proceeded to put that diaper RIGHT BACK ON. Lordy. I hope it doesn’t become a habit!
Guess who woke up with a dry diaper and then peed in the potty?!!?! I hope this is the start…
He threw a tantrum when I tried to get him to sit on the potty again. Oh well. Anyone want to do this for me?
Owen is such a rock star when it comes to going out and about.
We just got home from two hours of errands and it was no. big. deal.
//knock on wood//
He seems to enjoy laying down on his slide and pretending to sleep.
He loooooves playing with the hose…and getting his feet wet!
I gave him one spoon for his yogurt and cereal, except he didn’t seem to want to use the spoon for the cereal. So I gave him another spoon. Watch and learn, people.
Somehow he’s forgotten to count. 🙂
Who’s in the mirror?
He plays with his cars anywhere and everywhere.
I got him a real Cars tractor. It makes noise and everything.
I asked Owen to smile with his new tractor:
If you want to watch a larger version in HD, go to YouTube.
Owen was just waking up for his nap, when I gave him a new Matchbox tractor…
Owen can eat an entire PB&J sandwich, a 6oz yogurt, and a 6-pack of Lance crackers for dinner. 😮
Oh, and a handful of pickle slices.
Oh, and 8oz of milk.
😮
I just wish there was more more quality over quantity—as you will notice there is no fruit or vegetable in that list.
Owen has two identical Doc Hudson cars, and yesterday he declared they were friends. Today he has started calling them “good friends.”
🙂
I think he’s still technically behind in speech, but he’s continually progressing so we’re not worried. Here are the latest words…which brings us to about 328 total (and of course, I’m sure I’m still missing some)!

He wanted to go outside for bubbles, and since it was fairly nice out (considering), I cleaned out his water table, put the slide together, and let him play. Of course, pretty much as soon as I had the slide up, he was on it!
As soon as I was done filling his table with water, he pointed to the hose, said “Hose. Water” and then made the sign for more.
And this was him hiding when I was trying to spray him with the hose!
Me: Owen, I love you.
Owen: Thank you, mama.
Tunnel. I love tunnels.
Chocolate. I love chocolate.
Kiss. I love kisses.
Maggie. I love Maggie.
Cars. I love cars.
Tractor. I love tractors.
Pizza. I love pizza.
Shoes. I love shoes.
Blue. I love blue.
Typically in the morning, we give Owen a snack (granola bar) and a juice, then we eat breakfast an hour to an hour and a half after he gets up. Sometimes (rarely) we just skip the snack and eat breakfast a bit earlier. We just used to give him the snack, but lately he’s started asking for it.
So this morning, I decide we will eat breakfast early, and this is what happened:
Owen: Snacks! Snacks!
Me: No, it’s time for breakfast.
Owen: SNACKS! SNACKS!
Me: Okay. [Hand him a granola bar.]
Owen: [Finishes the bar in about two minutes.] Breakfast!
Scammer. 🙂
In order to try and tempt him into going up to the sprinkler, we tell him to tickle it or tell him to say “Wake up!” Tom is off screen stepping on the hose. 🙂
Owen was SUPER intrigued by the family of mannequins at Old Navy and spent most of the visit talking to them and petting (and ticking!) the dog!
And a real video…
And then being intrigued by the mirror (and knowing who he is, as well as who I am in the reflection)…
Aunt Rose bought him this cool water toy awhile back, but we left it in the package so it would be a special treat once we moved. Well, he keeps seeing it and getting super excited..so we finally got it out…and it kinda freaked him out. 🙂 He wasn’t too sure what to think of it…and he’s still not sure but he did have some fun with it.
Poor kid just couldn’t get comfortable to sleep…

Our friends took us to Marbles Kids Museum in downtown Raleigh. Owen had a blast and especially loved the big train table, the car racing area, and the ducks…
On a road trip to Raleigh…with his puzzles!
