My Personal Playmate

Von thinks Nana is his personal playmate. I think she might be a little tired of playing Thomas but she doesn't show it. They've been cooking, reading, doing puzzles, painting, taking walks, and of course playing train from the moment Von gets up til he goes to bed. He's very spoiled to have a nana that devotes all her time to him. Von knows how much she loves him. I think he uses that to his advantage.

EOA = VON

Von can verbally spell his name and he's just two! It sounds a little like he is saying EOA but he means VON.

The Healing Begins

Von is already feeling better and it's only been 12 hours and 2 doses of his antibiotic.

Ear Infection

Von got an ear infection that backed up to his eye. This right before we started an antibiotic.

Not One, But Two and Two and Two!

Yes, Von has not got over counting higher than two. Anyways, the other day Von was leaving with Grandma and before getting into the car while we waiting for Dad to put his seat in Von came running back to me to give me a kiss. He then returned to the car, looked back at me and came running saying "Two". I needed two. Then two wasn't good enough so he came running back, I got four! I'm so lucky. :)

Colors of The Rainbow

Von has been working on his colors. We use colors everywhere. Every bath time we get to pick one or two colors to make our water. We also get to pick which color our pancakes will become. And we love to paint with lots of colors. We just love colors. So now we're working on saying them in Spanish!

No, No

Von has gotten into trouble lately as three days in a row when Kilian (the dog) was eating Von went over took the bowl and flushed it down the toilet. One of the days Von took his bowl and pour the food in a bucket then put a blanket over it so Kilian couldn't get to it. Von is learning to be nice to Buddy even when he doesn't feel like it.

The Attack

Von had spent a little too much time with his Aunt Becki earlier that day. When I was sitting on the floor with him Von came running out of his toy closet with his ninja mask on and his swords swinging.

Our Creation

Von and Daddy made a monster out of play doh! It scarred me! What about you?

Just Like Dad

Von and Dad were playing cars in Von's room and Von would copy all the sounds Dad did. when flying the plane Von had it go around and around in the same circle in front of him.

The Wilderness

Von went to visit Grandma Angel with Beck and Karen the other day. While wondering around the farm Von went into some of the trees. Beck called to him to come out of the wilderness. When Von did he was crying as he had a throne in his leg. Karen pulled it out and he was all better. Back to exploring the farm.

Oh My

When Von laughs hard he'll over his mouth. At school they played Dance Freeze where they dance until the music stops. Von would dance then freeze in the same position but when the music would start up again he would be laughing too hard to start dancing again.

I'm On TV

Von loves to chat with Nana and Papa over the internet. Steve will hook it up to the TV so they are life size. Von goes back and forth from his toy closet to get things to show Nana and Papa. Then he'll place things on the computer for them.

Popcorn

Grandma is the only person Von eats popcorn with as it is one of the top chocking hazards for kids under the age of 4. But he sure does love it.

Von is...

The owner of Von's school described him as being full of energy and very engaged in whatever it is they are doing.

Just Like You

Von climbed up into Grandma's chair, took her book and pretended to read it just like Grandma does when she is relaxing.

Family

Von's teacher put up pictures in his classroom of all the kids families. The first day they were up Von had to show all his friends his family. He kept bring a friend over to see the pictures of his mommy and daddy.

Samson's Strength

After Steve showed Von how the rock wall worked he climbed it all by himself!
