CORNELIUS CREW OF TWO: Bell Butt

Bell butt is what Alex calls his belly button and during water play a few weeks ago he stopped in the middle of everything and all the excitement to show it to me. It's hard to believe July is over...Marc and I have been in school for a week and Alex is enjoying his new daycare. I'll post some videos tomorrow...good one of Alex's first bubble bath. Now he asks for bubbles every night...he loves playing with them in the tub!

Bell butt, ma ma!

ALLLL the toys have to go into the pool!

What'd I do?

Alex has LOVED playing with Charlie's old animals since we went to the zoo. He likes to line them all up, side-by-side (I swear I didn't start that) and a head-to-tail line for a parade.

Coloring a picture with markers (the neat Crayola ones that only write on the special paper!) with daddy.

I bought Alex some items off of Craig's List for his Birthday (can't tell you what they are yet!!!) and while I was picking them up the nice lady gave me like three other toys for free! One of them was this Dirt Devil cleaning set which is PERFECT for Alex. He's obsessed with cleaning too (fake cleaning, no cleaning up his toys and messes) and the set has a bucket, dustpan w/ foxtail (in his right hand), two sponges, a pretend squirt-bottle (he loves to 'spray' mommy), two dust mits (like mittens), a broom (in his left hand) and a small spot brush (also in his left hand).

Here he is with the broom (misc vacuum piece on the end of the broom b/c I didn't know what else to do with it) and fake squirt bottle. He had just woken up from a nap in this picture and I had just given him the toys so he was in the "awe" phase.
