Powell Place: May 2012

We are so excited for Spring! We love all of the outdoor activities we can start enjoying again :)

Hunter-ism's of the Month:

While cuddling in the chair watching McQueen (the movie Cars) I was singing along to 'Life is a Highway' and after about a minute, Hunter reached his arm up and put his hand over my mouth and said 'enough, enough'... Thank you for teaching him that word, Auntie! He also says 'Shhhhh Shhhhhh'.

After work one night and I stopped and got my hair cut. It had been awhile, so it was getting pretty long. I walk in the door and Hunter says 'where'd you hair go, Mom?' LOL! Yep, it's that short now! Then he said 'you got your hairs cut, Mom?' over and over. Love him!!

One Friday afternoon, Dad and Hunter were going to Home Depot & H was upset, saying he wants to go to Lowes. T says it's just like Lowes so they walk into home depot & H says 'yep, Dad. Dis store just like lowes!' And all throughout the store repeating 'just like lowes' :) Now every time we pass Home Depot, he says 'Hey, dat store is just like Lowes!'

Hunter was laying in our bed watching cartoons and runs out to tell us 'Mama, there are frogs in your bed!' I said 'you saw frogs in our bed?' and he says 'No! I hear da frogs, there in your bedroom! Come on! Follow me!' :) We have a pond right outside our window with toads galore!

Randoms: 'Come on, let's get out of here!' ; 'I'm exercising' ; 'Lets go for a drive' ; 'drive down to da river and see all da water' or 'I wanna see da cows'. 'Excuse me, I farted' {manners are important!} He now says 'Spongebob' instead of 'Bob bob'.
'Watch this! It's so funny!'
'You see da moon?' He loves the moon, clouds, stars, etc.
'Its dark outside. Its cold, brrrr.' 'Its raining, right?'
'Come on! Follow me!'

'My name is Hunter Powell' :) ; 'I'm TWO!'

He's great at colors, getting better at counting everyday and does pretty good with right and left and knows a few different shapes.

We started a sticker chart for potty time and he gets excited every time! 'I put a sticker on my chart!' after going potty. 'Mom, I went potty in da big boy potty at Auntie's and got gummy bear!'

Every time we go to 'Woseburg' Hunter wants to feed the ducks, go to Lowes, Bimart, 'bosco' (aka Costco) and 'wed wobin' (aka Red Robin). 'I feed da ducks and geese, they hungry!'

Hunter: 'You wanna wrastle me?' (aka wrestle) Every night!

He also loves playing a game that started with Gramma. 'Take a nap!' and wants you to pretend you're sleeping, then yells 'Roar! I scared you!' and hysterically laughs. Over and Over!
