Tae's Halmoni and Emo Halmoni came to visit in February. It was the first time Tae met Emo because she lives in Korea. Tae was a bit aloof at first but warmed up soon enough. It was a fun week!

Terrible Twos

last weekend.... got 6 inches of really pretty snow!

Toilet training time!


Sam and Tae love trucks... varoom...


Sam and Tae love big shoes!


Holy Cow! There's chocolate in these plastic eggs!


doo doo doo....plastic egg and me... doo doo doo.


I know Tae can understand 99% of what I say to him.
Then whyyyyyy does he only listen to me 50% of the time?

I know Tae can communicate with me using sign, gestures, and words.
Then whyyyyyy does he scream,cry and grunt when he wants something?

It is a good thing he is so darn cute!

Time-outs and NOs

Unfortunately, Tae is becoming a time-out expert.
Yesterday, he had three:
one in the morning for throwing a cup at mommy
one at the library for hitting mommy
one at the park for pushing his friend,
Today, he went to daycare where I imagine he had three time-outs:
(I imagine) one for throwing a cup
(I imagine) one for hitting
(I imagine) one for pushing.
I will take a picture of his time-out face for all to view.

Conversations with NOs.
Dad: Tae do you want to sing?
Tae: NO
Dad: Tae do you want to play?
Tae: NO
Dad: Tae, are you ever going to ever ask for money?
Tae: [no response]
Dad: Are you hungy?
Tae: NO
Dad: Do you love daddy?
Tae: hmmmmmm...
Dad: Do you love mommy?
Tae: hmmmmm...

He is either a genius or the whole NO thing is random and we want to believe he is a genius. Whatever the case, this NO stage is going to become a serious pooper.

Seriously, I can't believe it's been 4 months since my last post.
Tae had his 18 month check up.
He is 32 inches. (47%^ for you mothers out there)
He is 22.5 ppunds (8%)
And his head is average (45%)
He is a little stinker now. Smart, verbal, head strong..... and funny.
I just love everything about him. Even when he makes me crazy. :)
What a blessing!
