Fall Faces: Mason Thomas

Some of you will be visiting us very soon ( just over a month, because we ARE counting!) so I thought you'd appreciate a peek at the Masonite dictionary. Unlike Many toddler boys, Mason has a big vocabulary . It's just not always apparent what it is he's trying to say. This might help you in conversations with him:

Eyes = Yes
Suck = fork or stuck
Soup= Spoon
Sazz - Grams, Shells ( Carley)
Geez- Please
cuck- truck
mee-ohhh - mail
see-sue- sister
Allah- Ellie
Goon-Gunner
Ly-low-nin- Vitamin
Lellow- Banana
teet-whoooooo - train
teets- trees
shyst - chest
gank goo- thank you
a see oooo - I'll see you

 The rest of his words are amazingly clear. There are times that Mason has said " Mommy?" and I've turned to Mackenzie and asked her what she needed! 

Two things you soon find out after meeting Toddler Mason: He is mischievous and he is the biggest charmer you will ever meet.  He spends his days exploring with the purpose of mess making by way of curiosity. I cannot even begin to count the number of times we remove him from the table top every day or how many times he's figure out how to bypass the baby proofing in order to get so the treasures behind forbidden drawers.  Every now and again he gets a wild hair and likes to find out what happens when he pinches or bites or pulls hair. He doesn't have a single ounce of malice when he goes into this mode. He simply likes to see the reactions he gets and doesn't understand how much is tiny little fingers can hurt. Time outs have absolutely no effect on him so we do tons and tons of redirected and do our best to not let him out of our sights ( especially since he knows how to open the trash can and spread it's contents about the house). 

But just as mischievous as he is, he just fills every heart to the max when he smiles or cuddles or hugs the people he meets. He loves to sit in the shopping cart and shout " HI!!" and wave to people that pass by, mainly girls.  He loves to gently run his hand through hair and he will sit on your lap for toddler eternity ( minutes in real life time) and let you adore him.  You nearly forget the pain he inflicted when he lays his head on your should. His smile could move mountains and I can just look into those baby blue eyes forever. All of this said, he is just one very loveable, one very curious  ( and super speedy) boy!
