Tyler on Baseball Players and Apple Jacks

July 13, 2009

Breakfast Time

"I want Apple Jacks. Apple Jacks make me strong like baseball players. Baseball players eat Apple Jacks and Bubble Gum. Baseball players don't burp. Apple Jacks are my favorite cereal."

Ddddddddddddddddelightful!

Last week was "D" week. We were...hmmmm how do I say it? BIG SLACKERS. Ok, so it was ME that was a big slacker in planning D week. I am SO ready for a vacation - I have been a bad wife, a bad mom, and bad at generally anything that takes any effort. Enjoy the minimalist D week, which included:

Eating Donuts.

Acting like dorks.

Eating dried fruit, dill pickles, dry roasted peanuts, and Dwayne Wade goldfish.

Making an "I Love Daddy" card.

Making a Dial Pad and learning to Dial our phone number. Ok, having Mommy dial the number and Tyler going "Cool" but not learning it.

Making a Dog House and Dogs. It's our new disciplinary reminder. When you are bad, your dog goes in the doghouse and can't come out until you are nice again or say sorry. It took a while for Tyler to realize that being in the doghouse is not actually a GOOD thing. I told him dogs want to be outside running around and playing and they get sad when they have to go in the house. He says sorry pretty quick once his dog is inside now that he gets it.

Making a D collage with things that start with D.

And that completes our pathetic D week. Besides eating Danish. I doubt E week will be much better, but I'll try. Anyone have an Elephant laying around?
