Cute little man is into dressing up these days. He's always been fond of the swimsuit that has an innertube sewn into it and frequently puts it on asking if we can go to the pool. Explaining that it's too cold and too dark doesn't seem to stop him from trying again the next day. Now he's getting into more garb. We picked up a cute bath robe for him at Costco and he begs to wear that thing to school. As soon as he gets out of the bath, it goes on and doesn't come off until right before bed. He loves it, and he must wear the hat at all times. He's actually great at wearing any hat I put on his head. Today he wore his khaki sun hat to school. I asked if he wanted to take it off while he ate his waffles at breakfast but he said no. The sun has been really bright in the mornings lately so he's even wearing his sunglasses. On our way to school this morning, he sat in his car seat with both the hat and sunglasses on. "Cool dude" he says. He looked in the mirror the entire drive checking himself out. Over the weekend we were driving and I looked in the backseat to smile at him and couldn't tell if he was asleep or awake with the sunglasses on. Very cool dude.

Getting ready for work this morning, I was putting my make up on and each thing I put down, Tyler picked up pretending to put it on his own face. Purple eye shadow went on his forehead. Luckily he can't get the lid off most of the stuff yet. I suppose someday I will find him quietly painting his face, or the baby's face, with my makeup in all the wrong places.

Along with pretend dress up, I've noticed Tyler pretending to act like the baby. Then I read this about reverting to baby behavior and felt much better knowing we didn't mess him up by having another baby, he's just normal. Last night he tried putting Gavin's bottle in his mouth. I don't think he actually knew what to do with it, other than put it in his mouth. So funny how quickly they forget these things. His first year, the bottle and the binky played a significant role in his life. His second year he knows they both go in the mouth but doesn't seem to know how to make either one work. I guess that's evolution.
