Lex is such a toddler these days. It’s
\n adorable, hysterical, and sometimes frusterating. He likes to
\n get mad at me and storm off into his room. He can slam his
\n door, but he can’t open it again :) So I have to go rescue him.
\n Hehehe… Diaper changes are always fun because he uses both
\n hands and feet to try to prevent me from putting a new diaper
\n on him. He fights and fights and says “no, no, no, no.” The
\n game is to figure out a way to get his hands busy as a
\n distraction. Sometimes I can sing “The itsy, bitsy spider” and
\n he’ll do the hand motions. Other times we play “big Lex, little
\n Lex” and he does the signs. Each diaper change requires a new
\n game. Another toddler-ism, I vacuumed the house today and you
\n can just watch him waiver between bold and scare. He runs up to
\n the vacuum and tries to stand on it, but then suddenly runs
\n away and hides behind the fan (like that will protect him!). Or
\n he’ll get his little musical roller toy thing (that is supposed
\n to be like a lawn mower, we think) and “vacuum” with it. When I
\n turned on the vacuum today he ran and grabbed his toy and
\n walked around the bedroom in front of me. I told him he was
\n doing an excellent first pass :) Then, suddenly, he ran away
\n and hid behind the chair in the living room. His running is
\n equally funny to watch. He kicks his legs out to the side and
\n does a sort of hopping run. He’s pretty good at it though and
\n can make good time. He’s crazy, crazy, crazy and I love
\n it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
