Table, Chair, Swimming & Corn on the Cob

I recently decided it was time to buy little man a table. He really loved the one at my sister's house, so we thought let's get one like that. So I picked him up a picnic table for him to eat his breakfasts, lunches and snacks at. The kid loves it! Every morning he runs to his table and asks for pancakes, waffles, oatmeal or whatever he feels like eating that day.The same day I bought the picnic table, I decided to buy him his own chair and the store had a Disney Cars chair on sale. Now mind you, Eli and I both thought it was "safer" to get the picnic table then a regular table with movable chairs. However, within one hour of me being home from the store, the kid fell out of his new chair and into the pieces of the picnic table (not yet put together) and gave himself a black eye. Only our child! lol

Anyway, he totally enjoys sitting in his new Disney chair. I have found him playing his play guitar and reading books in it. He also will sit in it in the mornings to do his nebulizer treatment. Which, by the way, is what the pulmonary specialist has us doing every morning and night.
We just started swim classes again! Wasn't sure what to expect since Kai hasn't been in the pool since last summer. Well, he wasn't exactly happy, but he didn't cry either. He just kept saying "no, no, no". By the end of the 30 minute class, he actually seemed to be enjoying it since I found a boat and a ball for him to swim after. Zane and Trey joined the class too. Zane loved it, Trey hated it. It is so funny how different they can be.
Just this week I had decided to cook some corn on the cob. Well, I put one on Eli's plate and one on my plate. After watching me bite into mine, Kai looked right at me and said "more?" Which in his terms means that he wanted some. So I gave him a bite. He loved it and took it out of my hand. He then began to chow down on it. Eli and I were laughing the whole time. Needless to say, he ate it all and I had to get myself another one.

Other than all of the fun things I have already talked about, little man continues to grow and learn. His newest saying is "See ya" when he says good-bye. He is also repeating everything we say, so we are on our best behavior. lol He is infatuated with the Disney movie "Toy Story 2". He loves Woody and Buzz! We have to watch it every night before bed. We do trick him though and go to the end of the movie so it is only about 20 to 30 minutes long. This kid will not leave the room until he sees the credits rolling. He also loves a Leapfrog video that teaches him his ABC's, and we truly believe he is learning from it. He has picked up a habit of grabbing his blankie and all of his stuffed animals that are on his bed in the morning and bringing them out into the family room with him. He does have a fit when he can't seem to pick them all up. So we have to help him! lol Not a dull moment in the Rivera household.
