A Few of Mason's Favorite Things

Mason still loves playing with his cars and trains and for some reason this is a favorite spot to play with them.

Whenever I'm loading or unloading I can see the wheels turning in his head and then he runs off and comes back with cars. He's so excited I can't tell him not to play there.

He loves to pretend to talk on the phone. He can have some long conversations in his own language. But my favorite part is when he says something and then fake laughs and laughs. He must tell some funny stories!

This boy loves to go outside. I have to be careful when I take out the garbage because a quick trip to garbage can turn into a big tantrum when it's time to go inside. Mason loves being like daddy and has to mow the lawn with him. Chase can't try and sneak out because Mason can hear that thing the second he starts!

He loves the playground in our backyard. He climbs the ladder but he's still a little nervous going down the slide by himself.

But then you're sweaty and your cheeks are bright red so you have to cool off with one of these:
He loves popsicles and he takes me by the finger to the freezer at least once a day. You can't look at the camera when Sesame Street is on!

Mason loves watching videos on YouTube and he can watch them on the ipad all by himself. He watches anything with trains or Mickey Mouse and he loves songs like Twinkle Twinkle, Wheels on the Bus and Itsy Bitsy Spider. But his favorite is probably Teasing Mr. Crocodile. For a long time he has been saying "snap!" along with the lady in the video when the crocodile gets the monkey. It was one of his first words. The lady also has monkey and crocodile puppets and at my mom's, Mason would wear some random puppets. A couple days ago he was watching this video and kept pointing at his fingers and I knew that meant he wanted some puppets. So this is what I came up with using my scraps of felt.

He was so exited when they were just brown puppets with nothing on them! It's so funny to see him get so excited over such simple things. I'm not sure how long these will last because the crocodile is wet from having his eyes chewed off already.

He loves them! He gets so proud of himself when he gets them all on his fingers!

He is so adorable and he is growing right up...he looks more like a little boy than a toddler! The felt toys are a great idea I like it. Hope you are enjoying Arizona and hopefully you can adjust to the weather I am sure that is quite an adjustment. Let me know when you come visit...I am getting excited for you and Jane to have your baby girls!!!
