We got the They Might Be Giants DVD called Here Come the ABC's. It's basically a bunch of music videos for their songs from that CD. Skyler loves it. Here he is with daddy singing one of the songs.

Some Random Things
Sunday morning Skyler was acting weird and I asked him what was wrong. He said, "I'm freaking out".
Skyler wants absolutely nothing to do with Jordan most of the time. He won't even let him pour him a drink.
One of Skyler's new favorite things to do is take the couch cushions off and jump and climb on them.
Skyler is afraid of the vacuum again. He notified me when I tried to vacuum the other day.
Naps are still hit or miss, but he's napping now, hooray! He's been so very unpleasant to be around, he's clearly not getting enough sleep, but I can't figure out how to get that sleep in.
Skyler will be Blue (As in Blue's Clues) for Halloween. We went to get the fabric the other day (since after much searching for light blue colored clothing, I just decided to make it) and every now and then he asks for his costume on, meaning he wants me to drape the fabric around him.
It used to be incredibly annoying to live on the second floor. It still is, but slightly less so since Skyler is now very insistent that I carry him (or "Mommy hold you" as he says it). It sometimes means two trips down or up the stairs, but that's still a lot faster than the snail's pace he would always take the stairs at (and I know he can do stairs faster).

This Week
This week was a trying one for Skyler in the world of using the toilet. He went about a week and a half with no accidents, or at least very few. But this week every time I turned around he was peeing on the floor. But today I'm happy to report, when we put his pajamas on him at night, we took off the same pair of underwear that we put on him in the morning! So hopefully we are near the end of this set back. This week we went to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. On Wednesday morning we woke up early for the mass ascension (so Skyler was very very cranky all day). It was so awesome though. Skyler was afraid of the loud noises the burner made when we got to close, but other than that he really liked it too. Then Friday night we went back for the glow. Skyler got to see his first fireworks show and it was so neat to watch it through his eyes. On Friday at the library Skyler saw two other kids. The girl was a little younger than Skyler, I'm guessing and the boy was about 4. Skyler kept yelling to them, "kids, come on!". They were busy reading books with their mom. Then when they were at the shelf looking at books, he went right up to them and said it again. I feel bad that my social little boy has such an unsocial mother.

The other day I asked Skyler why he was miserable ( a common occurrence these days) and he said, "I'm cranky"
Today while out driving, Skyler fell asleep in the car. Jordan took a speed bump a little too fast and in his sleep Skyler said, "whoa".

Vacuuming
We bought a new vacuum today and it appears that Skyler is no longer afraid of them. He was scared to death when we went in the store, he made Jordan pick him up before we even got in the door (he obviously remembered where we were), but once he realized that he could vacuum, well, then what is there to be afraid of?
Sunday
Skyler stayed dry all through church! Such a relief since he peed on the floor three weeks ago. We took many trips to the bathroom during sacrament meeting, there's no question that that is what Skyler likes to do when he's bored. We are full of good impressions in this ward since Jordan said he'd teach Elder's Quorum this week and forgot.

Tennis
After Jordan got home from work, we walked over to the tennis courts to play tennis. Skyler had so much fun, he was laughing and smiling the entire time. We only almost hit him once! The secret was to aim for him, then we were sure to miss him seeing as we were a bit rusty.
Naps
Skyler is apparently taking a break from naps. He doesn't at all fight going down, he just never falls asleep. But it's been a hard week. He's cranky all morning, won't sleep, then cranky in the afternoon and things just start to get ugly around 4:30. I tried waiting longer before putting him down, but that made no difference. I'm totally okay with him being done with naps, he'll still do a rest time in his crib for the time being so that I can at least eat lunch in peace, and I'm looking forward to not planning my day around his naps anymore.
Then there's the taking off of the diaper. I'm considering lining his crib with newspaper and calling it a litter box. :)

Family Reunion
This weekend we went to Ruidoso, NM for a family reunion for Jordan's mom's side. For the most part, Skyler really enjoyed playing with his cousins. He got to take a pony ride and go fishing. He was very accident prone this weekend, he fell off the swing, the slide, a short wall, and the sidewalk.
In other news, he pooped in the toilet for the first time today, and no post nap trip to the laundry room - he not only kept his diaper on, but his pants also!
