Walking the Doy-eg

Garrett wanted to walk the dog today so I let him walk and hold the leash (usually he's in a carrier on my back).

Gus did his usual pee when we got out front.

It took forever to get up the hill, I tried to make Gus heel to Garrett but it took awhile for the three of us to get our groove. And there were puddles, and flowers and cars to stop and look at on the way up.

Gus pooped in his usual spot, with Garrett VERY closely observing the poo coming out saying, "thas alotta poo poo."

I picked it up with a bag. Garrett told me, "don't eat the poo poo," to which I thanked him for the reminder.

On the way back down the hill he stopped in front of Casey's house, found a nice patch of grass and proceeded to squat and tell me he was going poo.

Best part of my day.

Round and round we go...

Shenanigans

He did the shirt all by himself.

Be Right Back

"I go change my lann-dree and these pants" - Garrett today

Overheard

"That was pretty fun, huh?" uttered repeatedly after an afternoon riding the bike at the Alameda shoreline.

"First wash the hands. Then cake!" after getting out of the car after a trip to the park.

"I want peanut jelly and butter," upon opening the fridge this afternoon.

Flying box

Yesterday you got inside your duplo box and announced it was a boat. I think it was a ploy to stay up late because Viv and J were over. But it was really funny when I picked you up and you decided it was an airplane instead!

You also had just had a piece of tart from la farine... Viv and J were VERY impressed with your manners when you asked for "caaake." Your healthy sized bites were also impressive considering the way they've seen you eat grilled cheese sandos...

garrett's first mile run

You ran all the way to dinner last night.

Mom and dad thought you could ride your kettler tricycle but you wanted to run instead.

But you did push it on the way home.

You literally ran half of your age... and you also talked to BeBe and DamnPa on gchat and showed them how you can ride your glide bike.

You're becoming quite the little man!

I HELPING!

Today you set the table for the first time. You were very excited "to helping!" you brought the forks, plates and cups to the table and set them for all of us. The forks were all facing the same direction and the cups were on the plates but you were very proud of yourself and your parents were too...
