Toddler games

I think I mentioned it before, but Owen likes to request certain clothes when I'm in his closet.  This can be really frustrating when he's being stubborn, and the particular item is in the dirty clothes basket!  But it makes him really happy for the rest of the day, and he'll even tell strangers that "I'm wearing my ___ shirt!"  His number one requests are his car shirt, moose shirt, and Mater pajamas (Thanks Aunt Jenn!).  Here's a picture of the last one:

He loves his friends!  If I can tell him that Carson and Jacob will be somewhere, it makes for a very persuasive argument for us to be there, too.

I just thought this picture of him playing on a slide at a local gym with his friends was pretty cute.  (He's waiting at the top in white.)  They went up and down the slide for probably 20 minutes in an endless loop, until Owen tripped and cut his lip. :(

Lastly, it was warm enough one day last week to break out a new water toy I got for him.  It's a plastic tube with wiggly arms that fixes to the end of the water hose.  He had so much fun, even though it wasn't a very hot day, the wind was blowing, and the water out of the tap was pretty chilly!  He was squealing pretty much the whole time, as you can tell from the video.  I'm sure we'll have much more fun with this as the temperatures rise in July/August!
