What's up with Chandler?

There was once a point in my life where I vowed that I would never ever have children. Now I have obviously changed my mind, and I am sure glad I did. Chandler, although he is very busy and sometimes has freak outs for absolutely nothing I still love this little guy. Here are some funny things he has started doing.

Saying Mama:
Chandler has recently started referring to me as mama, instead on just yelling hey in my general direction. The only problem is he waits until I am not paying any attention, sneaks up behind me and screams "MAMA!" He has scared me to death at least three time in the last week.

Dad:
David works graveyards and gets home at 8:00a.m. Chandler is always awake at or around 7:00 and once he is up he wants to make sure I open the front window for him so he can watch for dad. Once David is home Chandler insists i open the front door so he can run out of the house and down the drive to give him a huge hug. It really melts my heart.

Bampa:
Davids mom and dad have been here for the last week and half helping (well really doing all the work) bricking the front of our little house. Chandler loves Grandpa and when he wakes up in the morning he stands in the hall and yells "BAMPA WHERE ARE YOU!" They left this afternoon and Chancho is going to be super sad that the only person he is waking up to is his mother.

Fridge:
Now that he is talking really well he is able to tell me when he is hungry, if he needs a drink and when he just needs a little snack. The last little while he asks me to come to the fridge and open it. After it is open he stands there for a little while places his finger on his lips and says "Hmmmm I doh no?" It is hilarious. He also wont eat an apple unless I have peeled it with the peeler.

Sandbox:
We just put together the sandbox and we love it. Chandler has played in it for hours, and if we aren't paying attention he sneaks out and runs straight for it. Now don't worry we watch our child but if the door is open he is running straight for the box.

Polite:
I can't stand kids who don't say please and thank you. So since Chandler has been talking I have insisted he always says please when he wants something. So the other day I was cutting up a cantaloupe for dinner and told him he had to wait. He instantly turned on his sad lips, looked up at me, and said "PEEEEZ MAMMA" Needless to say the fruit was half gone before we started. It he says please I crack and give him just about anything (is that bad parenting).

Body Functions:
For some reason burping and farting is hilarious to a two year old. We always know when Chandler has done either because he gets a big smile on his face and says "Excuse you" I think he has figured out the blame game.

We love this little guy. He is super funny and we stay entertained all day long.
