Kasen and Tai are big into the Banana Fana Fo Fana song right now! Learning all about syllables too cause I keep telling them only 1 or 2 syllable words will work.
Anyways....
We ended up taking Kohen to an allergist after he had a blotchy red rash all over his body. They tested him for 7 things and told us again that he really does have a milk allergy. I'm so confused about how he wouldn't have a consistent rash after drinking milk all day, every day if he is that allergic. His rashes have been so random that it doesn't make sense to me, so I'm not sure how strict we'll be with milk baked into foods... But he has been only drinking almond milk now.
Kohen is on another level right now. He gets into things that Kasen and Tai never did. He climbs everywhere and anywhere. He pulls pictures off of the walls, shuffles to the end of the ledge beside the stairs, he destroys any piece of folded laundry he can reach, has already colored on the wall, pulls the vent covers off, and not only does he pull the DVD cases out, but also pulls the DVDs out of them. His is a path of destruction, including Kasen and Tai's homemade ornaments (then making them cry).
He's cute when he tries to jump, hugs our legs or says "gah" for both dog and cracker (you know by what he's pointing at). Oh and when he gets his bottle and runs to his spot on the couch to snuggle before we take him to bed. If you try taking him straight to bed, without a couch cuddle, then he cries. But besides that he's mean right now.
He hits and pinches and throws things, (making Kasen and Tai cry even more), bangs his head on the floor, head butts you, and slaps his own face. You can deflect the thrown toys sometimes, but as soon as you aren't looking he bounces a firetruck off of your face, which actually hurts even worse the third time. I don't know how much longer I can keep my reflexes from reaching out and bopping him on the head. I'm starting to think the whole High 5 thing is a bad idea cause I swear he hits more now! And maybe we shouldn't throw balls to him either cause he's throwing every other thing at us too.
I tell him not to throw his drink or food off of his tray and he looks me dead in the eyes and just keeps throwing it.
2 more months until he can go to the nursery at church! I never realized how impossible it is to go to class with a toddler before because I was called to nursery well before Kasen or Tai were 18 months old.
Oh children.
