28 is GREAT

What a great day I had on the 9th!! My mom drove from Logan on Saturday to spend time with us on my B-day. She made an AMAZING lemon layer cake, fixed a great dinner and watched Tate so Paul could take me on a date. I love birthdays or any other excuse to spend time with friends and family!

My sister Amy and Boyfriend Charles came for cake

so did BreAnne and Sean Mawhinney with baby Blake

Tate helping mom eat cake

Mrs.Kerr said...: Happy late birthday, Nat. Had I known the lemon cake was in the works, I'd have driven two hours to give my wish in person. Scary story about Tate--lucky and happy ending. You're a darling mom! Tell Paul Hi, give tate a squeeze and keep blogging. Even though I see you almost every week, the photos are great!

From the Mouth of Tate

To Paul "your my best friend, dad". (Paul got teary)

eating icecream and seeing it was melted said, "look mom chocolate juice."

Fell down on our friends grass, rubbed it and said, "This is great grass."

eyeing Gwen he says to me, "Tate take her head off?" not sure if he has grasped the concept she is real or not.

when I change his diaper he always asks for "feel better" (diaper cream)

He also lets me know when he wants changed by saying, "I wanna nice clean diaper."

Found a rock in the grass and threw it back into the rock landscaping and said, "he wanted to go home to his mommy."

me: "Tate, do you want to try and go potty on the toilet?

Tate: "NO WAY MOM, toilet is all gone."

Struggling and grunting in the backseat he finally says, "mom I can't do it... I can't grow bigger."

Tate: "mom come here."

me: "I have to feed Gwen first."

Tate: "no mom, pump."

We went through the Del Taco drive through, and Tate said, "Mom, is this a new McDonalds?" I think we need to cut back on the McDonalds.

me: "Tate, do you want to go watch the Flash Basketball players tonight?"

Tate: "No mom, we watch the Aggie guys."

Tate looked down at his diaper and then looked up at me and said, "I just pee peed on Elmo." (there are pictures of Sesame Street characters on his diapers)

Tate: "Mom, I'm the man"

me: "Tate we need to whisper"

Tate: (yelling) "No we're not whispering, we're YELLING."

Elaine: "Tate, are you going poop?"

Tate: "Yes"

Elaine: "Can you hold it?"

Tate: "In my hand?"

Tate: "Mom, go down the slide."

Me: "I'm too big."

Tate: "Well, grow down."

I was talking on the phone with my mom while Tate was in the bathtub and he said, "mom, put the phone in the water and grandma will get wet."

sitting on the potty, he went pee pee then said, "3 times!! I can't believe it." We have been potty training, and he was apparently counting how many times he had gone that day, and was pretty impressed with himself.

I went and sat down on the couch and Tate said,"Mom!!! Don't sit on the guys, they are watching me play football." Apparently he had some imaginary fans watching him as he kicked his football.

me: Tate, come eat your oatmeal.

Tate: I can't, I'm being sick right now.

I was walking down the stairs and I head Tate saying, "...and don't come of that stair until you stop crying." as I walked down the stairs he told me not to step on the (imaginary) kid that was in time out. I asked why he was in time out and Tate said, "because he put a coin in baby Gwen's mouth." YIKES

Tate (sitting on the potty): Mom, come look I did a big snake poo.

Tate (4) we had a little earthquake and he asked paul what it was. Paul said it was and earthquake, and Tate replied, "like when another planet runs into earth, that would be an earthquake.
