Making up for lost time.

Peyton really likes to practice going potty. He tells me he has to go potty so we get him on the “cool baseball potty seat” and he will pretend like he is using the bathroom. Then he wipes his bum, flushes the toilet, and washes his hands. So he KNOWS all about what he should do, and he really likes big boy underwear but he says he just isn’t ready to be potty trained yet………..so we are still waiting for the day when that happens. But he is pretty funny about it right now. We'll spare you the potty pictures.

The Lightning McQueen pillow on Peyton’s back has elastic straps for a blanket that came with it. But it makes a really good back pack for “hiking” so that is what it is used for at our house. Then when I was taking pictures of Peyton with the “back pack” on he started getting into doing poses. So we think he might be a male model! We tried to get him to do Blue Steel but he wouldn’t so I guess we will have to keep working on that!

Suzanne and Nevin had their baby in January so we were getting out Peyton’s blessing tuxedo for Caden to wear. Peyton asked me what is was and I told him. He said he wanted to put it on. You can see how well it fits! Cole said I should have had him to fat guy in a little coat, I didn’t think about it at the time. Where is daddy when you need him? I just thought about taking a picture!

If you can see it in this picture Peyton has cupcake crumbs all over his face. I made some cupcakes and he REALLY liked them. He can’t just take small bites of anything so as he was trying to shove the whole thing in his mouth it was getting everywhere. Then he said he was the cup cake man. So in the picture where his arms are in the air he was shouting I am the cup cake man! It was pretty funny, and would have been better if I had a video, but oh well.

Here is the little man coloring at a Miss Springville/Mapleton workshop. He had so much fun showing off for the girls that time that he wanted to go with me again to another rehearsal. He said he wanted to see the “Miss Springdill girls”. He told me the other day, “Mom, I know I live in Springville but I like to say Springdill.” He likes all the pretty girls and especially the one who has the crown.

Peyton was just being funny making cute faces here. He makes us laugh all the time with his funny personality. He said to me the other day, “Mom come over here and I will give you your options. You have to sit here and eat your lunch that is your only option”. I think I know how I must sound to him! The next day he said to Cole when we were in a store, “Dad you are not listening to me, I said don’t look at anything else!” I guess that is how Cole sounds? Never a dull moment with that boy around.

When I get him ready to take a bath I sometimes leave his shirt on his head, so this day he had “yellow hair”. He thinks it is really funny so he wanted to show dad and have us take a picture of him after he looked at himself in the mirror of course.

Here is just another example of Peyton being silly. He was helping me make something so I had him on the counter and got out a bowl to mix things in. I turned about to get something else and when I looked back he had the bowl on his head and said it was his hat. He has a great imagination so I think that was his hard hat for working. He also has an imaginary brother named Keylion, and an imaginary cat named Brand New Kitten. Don’t ask me where he comes up with these things but they make us laugh pretty hard usually.
