1. He LOVES balls. We took him to his first baseball game and he love it. He is always talking to us about how you kick at ball or hit a ball. The Sports Authority by Timberline HS is closing so Johnny got him his first real golf set. Pennington is very interested in his new golf clubs and likes to get them out whenever we are outside. We have received several comments from people lately that "Pennington ALL boy".
2. When playing with balls isn't on his mind he asks to color and paint. Pennington colors and paints everyday at school so naturally he is starting to ask to do this at home as well. I have started to let him use watercolors at home. Usually he just dumps the water out but he is starting to get the idea
of how painting works. I'm thinking we might need to start thinking about getting an actual easel to paint on.
3. He loves cleaning. Lots of people have mentioned to me that none of their children were ever into cleaning but Pennington sure is. He loves to vacuum, sweep, and use cleaner (water bottle) to spray dirty spots and wipe them up.
4. He started going to the bathroom on the little pottys at school after nap time. He even went to the bathroom for Nonnie on the big boy potty at K'tamin. Definitely not going to get our hopes up on this one. I think we will be lucky if he is potty trained by this time next year.
5. Pennington still isn't talking much more than saying peoples names, more and of course BALL. He also likes to call pretty much everything else "BOB". This could be my fault. I read our friend Magnolia's blog about a story called 15 Animals by Sandra Boynton where the child in the story has 15 animals all named Bob. I just had to buy it especially since I had a Groupon for Barnes and Noble. Pennington really likes the story and now I think he calls everything Bob because of it. Nonnie even bought him a card that says Hi Bob all over it.
Below are some recent photos of Pennington.

Everything is "Bob"? That's too funny. It is a very fun and easy word to say. Maybe Pennington needs a Bob fish too:)
ReplyDeleteDid Pennington get a haircut? He looks a little older in the last photo and it seems like his hair is shorter. What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteHe most definitely did get a haircut. We actually have never taken him anywhere to get it cut, Johnny just does it. Pennington usually cries a lot since we have to hold his arms down to do it. His hair grows so fast I think we have already cut it 4 or 5 times. We keep thinking that we should probably get it professionally done soon.
