Day at the pool

Today we started the day by going to the beach. I have been bringing him there for the last few days, but usually at about 5:30 when it is not as hot. But today I brought him at about 2:30 and we got ice cream at one of the shops there. He liked that. But it was way too hot to hang out there. I am not a big fan of going in the ocean in the first place but lately there is a ton of seaweed in the water and near the water so I really don't want to go near it. Deo didn't want to go in there either so I went back to the house and brought him to the pool instead. Here are some pictures of him playing around. He didn't let me bring him in the pool past the stairs today though, I hope he is not getting scared of the water. He has dunked himself in a couple times while playing on the stairs and he cried after I pulled him out. So today he just played on the first stair and ran around the patio.
We also went to the mall for he could play in this little play thing they have there. I have been bringing him there lately because My Gym is only open certain times and it is so hot and buggy at the parks outside. I wish there was something closer to bring him to play inside. You know where he loves running around? the dollar store. He thinks the dollar store is a playground.
Deo looks pretty cool in his speedos right? Hes very european.

Reading and Deodorant

We read books every night before we go to bed. We have look and find books that he knows just about everything in. And there are alphabet books and other vocabulary books as well. Deo loves reading.
He started this little whining like a puppy sound. Its a fake little high pitched cry that he does for attention, Im not sure where he got it from. he just came up to me and did it while I was typing. Its funny.
I found him hiding putting my deodorant on his face today. He got it out of my bag. At least he wasn't eating it. I did catch him trying to eat it once, well... he did have a taste last time and found out it doesn't taste too good. (that was one of my 3 calls to the poison control lately) I guess that it why he didn't try to eat again today. But he seems very interested in deodorant, hes always trying to steal it.

Bagels for Dinner

Deo is the pickiest little eater I've ever seen. I try and try to make him eat different things but he isn't very cooperative. He doesn't eat any veggies, at all! I am actually worried about his nutrition because he eats so poorly. But if he doesn't like it, he just won't eat it. And I rather him eat something than nothing at all. I've gotten him to eat broccoli and green beans once or twice (with a ton of butter on them) but the next time he sees them he turns his nose up at them. Today I made 3 different meals trying to get him to eat something other than his regular foods (which are: fish sticks, pancakes, waffles, egg & cheese sandwich, chicken nuggets, cereal and various crappy snacks) and in the end he ended up having a bagel and cream cheese for supper. Also he is so dramatic when I put something in his mouth he doesn't like, he gets so mad. He wouldn't even try the 2nd meal I made for him, just by looking at it. Thank god for vitamin supplements.
He loves any food we order when we get chinese or japanese though. He eats well at the sushi-thai restaurant. But I can't afford for him to be eating there all the time! If only I could cook like that. And I have tried to get recipes and make them at home but he isn't as excited about the food I make. I guess he eats better when we dine out in general. Again I would love to see him eat well like that everyday but thats way too expensive. I have a 1 year old that only likes to dine out!

We've seen better days

Well it has been a hectic week. Last weekend our SUV got stolen (and recovered) and I have been spending most my time making phone calls and driving here and there,to do this and that-trying to get my life back together. It has been a nightmare.
And yesterday I found out that they used an expired (and supposed to be deactivated) paypal credit card that they found in the car and charged up hundreds of dollars in gas. The people that work at paypal are idiots I might add. I would love to stop using them but that is how I get 98% of the payments. Why hasn't someone made another company similar to Paypal?!
So in turn that makes it so I cannot ship my ebay stuff from home and the money that was in there and coming in is my spending money. All gone. It takes a while to do the paperwork to get the money back.
But I guess I should be happy that we all have our health and so on. I am trying to look at it as these things are only material things and can be replaced. Well, someday. But it is very hard.
We had a stereo system in that car that valued over $6000. I know the insurance is not going to pay for this or try their hardest not to, does anyone have any ideas of how I am supposed to handle this? What do I say when they say no?!
But on another note, Deo is doing very well. He has no idea that our life is in shambles, isn't it great to be a little kid!
He is talking more and more. Here are some of the newest and biggest things he says:
Are you okay?
Spaceship
basketball
football
and he counts down to do blast off all the time. He makes little spaceships with his blocks and makes them blast off. He is recognizing alot of the alphabet also. He says 2 and 3 and makes sounds for the rest of the numbers.
He still loves Blues Clues but Thomas the train has become very popular, some days more than Blues Clues.
Today at Sound Advice (i went there to get receipts for the stolen stuff) they had a little pretend living room set up. It had to big red chairs and he went and sat on one of them. He put his hands on his face like he was thinking and said thinking chair. It was so cute.
We also went to the mall today and I was trying on clothes in this nice store and he stunk up the whole fitting room. This poo he took was so stinky. The girls that worked there were giving me bad looks and being rude and spraying air freshener everywhere. Oh well, someday they will be mothers too and understand things like that.

Disney Pics

Here are some pics from disney. There is one great pic of Deo and I with Mickey that was taken by Disney that I have to order and have sent to me. I am going to because it actually looks good, and it is the only pic before he started screaming. He was so scared of Pluto.
For Grandpa Chris: Thanks for the gifts (the $$) for our trip to Disney. Deo got some toys and clothes with it. We appreciate it very much. I should be home next month or so, see you then!
