Typical Tuesday. Joe's at work and Lucian and I will be spending the day cleaning and playing. Ok, I'll be cleaning while he plays. Or I should say he does the opposite of cleaning. We started out with vacuuming. I asked him if he would like to help vacuum; he used to enjoy pushing the vacuum while it was on. Instead, he decided to rip up toilet paper all over the floor. Ehh no big deal. I'll get to it. Hopefully laundry will be just as easy.
In between cleaning, he decided he needed a snack. I gave him a pumpkin muffin that I made yesterday, knowing that he will probably get crumbs all over the floor I just swept. I pulled out the chocolate milk to go with it and shook it all over the kitchen. Ugh! The lid wasn't on all the way apparently. Sigh. After I changed my clothes, I proceeded to wipe down the spilled milk with vinegar. I was hoping this wasn't a sign about how the rest of the day was going to go.
My spirits were immediately lifted when I returned to the living room to find Lucian sitting on the love-seat, eating his muffin, and using my saute tongs to remove crumbs that dropped onto his legs. I couldn't help but laugh. He's so funny. How could you be upset about that? I must say that he was successful picking up the recent crumb that fell. It was a bigger crumb. He then ate it off the tong. Now that is smart. No mess, no waste. That's my boy!

March into March
Well 28-28 has passed and timed has flown through March. 28-28? Yes! Lucian turned 28 months on February 28th. Thus, 28-28. That's not going to happen again until he is 28 years old. And now he is almost 29 months old. It seems like only yesterday I was helping him walk around. Like I read someone state earlier: the days seem long but the years fly by. So true. Some days I can't wait for bedtime, and other days I think 'wow he grew'. Though he is still my baby, he is no longer really a baby.
Lucian's personality has really been shining lately, even through the rough patches. He seems to be changing in his speech patterns as well. Though he may not be saying decipherable words, it is often clear what he wants. His blubbering has added a new dimension as if it is a little more defined. It's hard to explain. I just know that I have been noticing a difference. I'm not forcing or pushing him to talk. When he is ready, he will. We are going to give him the time he needs. All we can do is wait and encourage when necessary.
Today was the rain date for the local Easter egg hunt. We just returned from the park a little bit ago. He seemed to have an okay time collect a handful of eggs with the other toddlers. I took a few pictures. Lucian even took a few random pictures of his feet. He really likes the continuous shoot function on my camera apparently. He was even more excited to find chocolates inside the eggs. Mama was not so happy. Last year we went to this hunt (right down the road) and the eggs had packets of goldfish and cookies in them. Some contained free coupons for meals or ice cream at local fast food restaurants. I don't want him to have cheap chocolate made with GMO sugar and questionable dairy products. That stuff can destroy your health easily. We just talked the other day about limiting our refined sugar intake outside of the house (we don't really have that stuff in the house). It will be hard considering he is used to hitting up the bakery at our local grocer for a free (packaged ugh) cookie. You can imagine my disappointment when he opened his eggs to find a remaining pile of cheap chocolate candies full of things we don't want to support or consume. Before you think that he doesn't get any treats or chocolate, he gets plenty. We have a special collection of chocolate just for him that doesn't contain these unwanted ingredients. So if you are planning on sending Lucian special 'treats' for the holiday please reconsider what you are sending. And to take the whole hunt one step further, I was returning the eggs to realize that everyone on the other side of the group had eggs filled with goldfish and cookie packets. *palm to the forehead*
