10 for Tuesday-Thursday edition

Here is a 10 for Tuesday, the Thursday edition.  He has been very funny recently and I didn't want to forget these things while we are out of town again for a week.

-One day we were at Five Guys and Brady asked where Jim went, like he asks whenever someone moves out of his immediate line of vision.  I sort of annoyingly told him to use his eyes and look for Jim because he was literally right there in front on him.  He squinted and made a super funny face and now we call it "using his eyes."  He has now started using his eyes whenever he says "goggles on."

Examples of "using his eyes":


-Today we were driving and were about to go under a bridge overpass.  He told me "duck your head Mommy" and proceeded to scrunch up as low as he could(being that he was strapped into his carseat it looked more like a shoulder shrug.)  I have absolutely no idea where he learned that.
-When we were in Disney he learned from his Grandma how to make a mad face.  He will say "I mad" and give whoever an ugly scowl.
-He says "good job Brady" constantly.  Like he will read himself a book and say it or take off his shoes and say it or finish his cookie and say it.  Apparently he needs lots of positive reinforcement.  Last night he was helping Jim water my veggies and Jim and I were at the other end weeding and I could here him talking to himself and every other statement was "good job Brady."
-Our neighbor drives a Prius and as you know Brady is very much into cars and trucks and motorcycles.  Well now whenever we see a Prius he yells out "Abby's daddy".  In a regular car trip we will see "30 Abby's Daddy"s.  We even saw him in Florida.  Well today we pulled up next to an Abby's daddy that he had announced as we were coming up to the red light.  He looks over and says "not Abby's daddy."  Maybe he will now realize that every Prius is not in fact our neighbor.
-When we are in the backyard playing and he is ready to come inside he walks up the stairs, climbs through the doggie door, and goes about his business.  Luckily grown men cant fit through the door or else we would probably have been robbed by now.  And we know this because Jim and Mat tried it one night.
-I just noticed last night he popped out a 2 year molar.  Lucky for us it seems to have come with no change in attitude.  Hopefully the other 3 are as easy.  The other 4 molars he got about a year ago nearly made me visit a funny farm.
-He got a doll and stroller for Christmas.  He loves the doll and loves to push him around.  Well he has recently started picking a random group of items to push around for the day.  For example one day he collected all the plastic balls in the house and pushed them around.  One day he pushed his blanket around.  While in Disney he collected all our change in a ziploc baggie.  He has been counting his coins and moving them all over the house in different piles.  Tonight I noticed him pushing the stroller and low and behold inside the stroller is his collection of coins.  What a goon.

Pictures of him with his stroller:

Jim was making faces at him and he was just copying them. 



-Whenever we are getting ready to leave the house we tell him to go pick 2 cars.  More times than not he comes to the door with a lunch box full of cars and asks you to carry them telling us "its heavy."  This kid seriously loves his cars.  He does the same thing at night but minus the lunch box.  He tries to crawl up the steps with 18 cars in his hands and whines to us to help him.
-He is very bossy and can often be heard telling us what not to do.  Like I enjoy singing and humming all throughout the day, I got this annoying trait from my mother.  So I find myself singing along with his shows or humming show tunes.  He is constantly telling me "no sing Mommy, no sing" while wagging his finger at me and shaking his head or holding his ears.  We sometimes do it just to get him fired up, like moooooing will really piss him off and is so worth the tantrum to see his reaction.

And a few other random pictures from dinner:



Yes, that's a watermelon seed in his belly button.
