OBSESSED

I love all the different stages and phases my kids go through. Taylor's first love hands down, was Barney. Chase wasn't that into it, in fact his first true obsession was Blue's Clue. At the very young age of like 9 months Chase would sit and watch that show as long as it was on. Anything else he lasted all of about 10 seconds. Talan never really had anything quite the same way that Chase and Taylor did at that age, expect for his sword, that thing use to go everywhere with him. Maybe Elmo would come in at a close second. He did like ELmo quite a lot.

Anyways, Chase has a new obsession. He has caught the Lego bug. No big surprise there. Legos are right up his alley. He has always been fascinated with building and figuring things out. Puzzles are still a favorite past time of his. At the age of about 2-3 years old Chase would sit at the table and do puzzles as long as they were there for him to do. At that age it was about the only thing that he would do that required him to hold still. Chase is loving Legos so much right now that he could seriously play with the little things for HOURS! Watching him play and have so much for hours is awesome. Finding random pieces of legos all over the house, not so awesome. I'll bet you can't guess what he is getting for his birthday this year???

Easton also has a new obsession too. Playing in the toilet. So much fun! (enter sarcasm here) These are the things Easton lives for right now...1. a open gate to the stairs, he is such a climber, 2. babies his own age, oh my goodness he gets so excited when he sees a little person he will literally try and eat them, and 3. a toilet lid lifted up in the bathroom. I tell ya if he sees any of these things he books it like MAD trying to get there before someone can stop him.

And a little side note, worth writing down. Today was Talan's preschool classes Halloween party. As soon as Talan puts his Darth Vader mask on he morphs into character and starts singing the Darth Vader's theme song. dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. You know the one. Today his teacher told me that he is seriously the FUNnest kid! I told her try getting mad at him. I made Chili Verde for dinner tonight and halfway through dinner Talan told me, "mom I don't like this." I told him yes you do, he has had it before with no problem. Then he told me "No I don't. See mom watch this," then he proceeded to put some of it in his mouth and then spit it back out in his hand, then he told me "see mom, my mouth don't like this."
