Lately, when Larsson gets mad at Justin and me (read: when he doesn't get his way), he scrunches up his face into a serious scowl, and then says, "That not funny, Momma-Dadda. That Not Funny."
Oh Larsson. But it is. It's hysterical in fact.
I have to muffle my giggles.

A Toddler's Point of View
When I picked Larsson up from school the other day, he was so happy to see me.
As usual, he ran up to me. We hugged, and I told him I was so happy to see him. Then I asked about his day.
As he started to respond, he leaned back and looked at me comtemplatively.
Then he said, "Mommy, there are holes in your earrings."
I thought for a moment about the hoop earrings I was wearing and responded, "You're right, my friend. I love the way you see things."

2011 in Review by Tater

1. What did you do in 2010 that you’d never done before? Visited Sweden. Saw a movie at the movie theater. Rode a roller coaster.
2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? not sure. This year is the year of "no more accidents" - it all goes in the potty.
3. What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011? a rocket!
4. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Progress!
5. Did you suffer illness or injury? Nothing major.
6. What was the best thing you bought? toys, toys, more toys, and Mommy's iPad.
7. Whose behavior merited celebration? My a good boy.
8. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Halloween and Santa!
9. What do you wish you’d done more of? Playing, eating candy
10. What do you wish you’d done less of? Sit in a car seat.
11. How did you spend Christmas? At each of my grandparents houses.
12. What was your favorite TV program? Caillou, Fireman Sam, Bob the Builder for first half of the year, and now I love Phinneas and Ferb, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, and the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
13. What was the best book you read? My Pirate Book.
14. What was your greatest musical discovery? My electronic guitar.
15. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? more toys.
16. How would you describe your personal fashion concept? I rocked a mohawk this year, and I picked out my fave shoes - Vans.
17. What kept you sane? More toys.
18. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Santa.
19. Who was the best new person you met? Swedish family that I had not met yet - like Gamla Mormor, Anitha, Urban, Anna Karin, Lennart, and many others
20. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2011: Go for what you want. Stick with it. Be uncompromising.
