Tays and his dog, Max

Usually, Max is outside all day and then he comes in at night and sleeps on his bed in our room. Well this morning I was so sick of his barking. When he is chained up, he sits on top of his dog house and he barks. He barks at squirrels, cats, cars, birds, clouds, shadows....really anything and everything. Vaughn said that if I brought him in he would stop barking. So today, I brought him in to see if I could handle having him inside.

Taysom LOVED it! He was so excited to see Max and he was by his side almost all morning. I eventually got tired of Max's whining (I wouldn't let him leave his bed), So I put him back outside. But I just couldn't help taking some pictures and videos of Taysom interacting with the dang dog. Whom has been unofficially renamed, by me, to 'dang dog'. Which might not actually come out "dang" if I am super irritated at him. There. My secret is out. I lose my cool with him and my potty mouth comes out. Whoops. Please don't judge too harshly! ;)

Taysom is a lot like Mason, in the fact that he is a CLIMBER! I have to seriously watch this kid all the time and I can't even count the number of times he has fallen off the stool or chairs or the couches. 

This outfit makes him look like a character out of Dr. Seuss! I love it! It is one of Drew's. I need to go back to Drew's pictures and find one of him wearing it!

This kid never sits still. This is the longest he has ever sat for any length of time! 

It was also the first time I have turned on Signing Time for him. Guess I found a good show to distract him while I shower! FINALLY!!

Here he is...still enthralled with Signing Time!!

YES!!!

Silly kid, eating straight out of the peanut butter jar. 

That is one thing I should probably buy stock in! Peanut butter and bananas. Just can't keep them stocked in the house!

I've also had to get used to the lights going on and off. Constantly. Vaughn gets frustrated and asks why I don't tell him not to touch and teach him to not do that. Which I agree I should be teaching him not too, but can you see that grin on his face?! He is completely happy while doing this, so why do I have to take away his little boy joy?! What is he really hurting by turning it on and off?! (Do you see how I am really trying to let go of my 'control everything' personality...or maybe its because he is child #4....hmmmm.....
