I have yet to figure out my toddler... this child who wakes up at 10:45 one morning and 7:30 the next with no alteration in our usual bedtime routine. (Thus explains my appearance today- no time for a shower!)
For breakfast he was thrilled to see a pancake on his tray, but after munching contentedly for a few minutes, he started throwing it on the floor (and saying "no" because he KNOWS he is not supposed to throw things on the floor) and signing "cracker." Who chooses dry, boring old crackers over fresh, moist pancakes? Apparently, Britton does.
He is learning to use a fork and spoon, which is way fun! But, after several attempts of stabbing, if the piece of food cannot be stabbed, he will pick it up in his hand and place it on the prongs, put it in his mouth, and clap! Success in any form.
He has more toys (thanks to grandma) than three other children combined, yet his favorite pastime is pulling all mommy's tupperware out of the cabinet and spreading it across the floor.
He'd rather use the remote control to turn the fan on and off than do almost anything else... other than carry around my keys and cell phone, that is. But his toy cell phone has no appeal... >sigh<
This blog is being cut short because presently he is "rearranging" the DVDs in the case and inserting blocks and (surprise!) tupperware!

I haven't bought any toys for Slaeter. I'm waiting until he's 2yrs. or something... all they ever want is the remote, keys (real ones!) - pretty much everything but their toys! :)
