Vroom

It's obvious for me to say that Haydn loves the movie Cars. It's probably just as obvious for me to point out that he is absorbing EVERYTHING he sees and hears. However, knowing the obvious two statements didn't change how amazed and funny Haydn really is.

Last night we were watching a movie and Haydn kept going "MMMmm" (instead of Vroom) but sounded somewhat like a cow. We kept asking him to be quiet as we are trying to hear the movie (and closed captioning was not available), but Haydn kept doing it. I noticed he had several cars he was playing with. He was playing with Doc and Lightning and was making some cars that all looked similar and had the same box-like shape go "MMMmm" and then as they were making that noise, Haydn would tip them on their backs. It took me a few minutes to realize what he was doing. I couldn't control my laughter when I figured out that he was recreating the scene from Cars where Lightning and Mater are out in the field "tractor tipping". He is so funny! I wished I had a chance to record it.

Happy New Years!

Happy New Years everyone! I hope this year is healthy and prosperous for all. We didn't do much for New Years. Adam spent the holiday working with his brother-in-law (thanks!) and Haydn and I stayed home. Haydn fell asleep while I was making dinner and then woke up a couple hours later to ring in the new year! He's a rock star, we brought it in like any 2 year old boy would want to... watching Thomas the Train movies (at least it wasn't Cars). =) We had fun.

On another note... New Years day is going off with a bang. We slept in pretty late (that's what happens when little boys stay up too late) and I noticed that Haydn has bumps...EVERYWHERE on his back. All morning I noticed he had a spot that looked like a pimple on his face. I kept thinking to myself "Man, I know kids grow up so fast, but... He's too young to be getting pimples!" As I was getting him dressed for the day, I noticed the same kind of bumps are on his back. =( Poor kid. It really looks like he has chicken pox. He had the vaccination when he was 12 months old and we really haven't been around any kids in the last two weeks. I don't know what else it could be, but he has all the 'side effects' of it minus the fever. He's been sleeping more than usual and eating next to nothing. This will be a fun week. Man, talking about it is making me itch!

Happy New Years everyone!
