Thomas Milk

It is funny to think something tastes better in a certain glass or cup. When I was a kid, drinking "black wine" (coke in a wine glass) seemed to taste better than in a can. Vaughn thinks everything tastes better in the Thomas Cup. I have washed out the Thomas cup so much I bought 2 more Thomas the train cups. Tonight it was drinking apple juice from a can. Needless to say he had a total meltdown when he had to go to bed. After 2 glasses of Thomas milk all was quiet!

Here are some pics from this weekend. Luke enjoyed the water from the swimming pool - I guess everything tastes good when you practice drinking from a plastic cup!

Shopping with the Monkey

Today Vaughn and I went to return some things at the galleria. After making our return we had to take a ride on the elevator - ever since Montana Vaughn is super excited to ride in them. I think he understands what happens. All was going well until we went to the lucy store. I needed new pants and had a 25% coupon - it was to be a 5 min stay - that is until Vaughn went crazy! He was climbing through the racks and when I did pick him up he hit me in the face and said "stop -No' That was after he ran out of the store laughing at me because I was chasing him. I grabbed the size I thought I need and went up to the counter. I asked the sales lady if she needed a crazy 2 year old. She told me she had her hands full with a 3 year old! After that we went to Southdale and all went well. We rented a racecar stroller and mom walked really fast and move the stroller like crazy.

i-i's1st day alone with Vaughn

Today was Vaughn's 1st day alone with i-i. Nana was in Bismarck today for work. The day started with Vaughn waking up at 6:16 am and saying "hear i-i" quickly it was followed by "TOOT TOOT". Of course I told Vaughn to yell for i-i to pick him out of bed to watch the train from the window. Next it was followed by "man boy talk" over eggs and toast. Vaughn pretty much wiped i-i out. When mommy came down from her conference call around 10:00am - Vaughn and i-i were laying down for THEIR nap! Vaughn's new thing is to point and tell us - I love you. Vaughn did do something funny today - he put his little people on his train track with the trains in front of the little people to be run over.
