What a day!

I can't believe the past few days I have had. Ty has really been pushing his limits, especially two days ago. Here is rundown of what he did, ALL IN ONE DAY!
The first 3 he did within about 45 minutes of each other.
#1. He scribbled on my mom's leather couch with a ball point pen (yes, it came out, phew!).
#2. He got into my mom's food coloring paste she uses for her cakes and painted himself and her kitchen table. I didn't get a picture but in the next picture you will see his "pink" hands as proof.
#3. He got into the flour and sugar, pretending to cook dinner.
#4. He climbed up on the stool in my mom's bathroom and got on the counter. Put cotton balls down the sink drain and then turned the water on. Then he filled the toilet with about 1/2 roll of toilet paper, and left...yes water still running. I was feeding Kate and I thought I heard water. When I found the source there was only about 1 inch left before the water would have overflowed onto the floor. Then I had the fun task of putting my hand in the toilet to fish out all the toilet paper so the toilet wouldn't overflow.
#5. He got into my purse and got some gum, which I guess he didn't like because I found this on the stairs.#6. He shoved his stuffed "Tigger" into Spencer's computer.
#7. He woke Kate up and climbed into her crib. When I heard the two of them through the monitor upstairs and went into her room, this is what I saw!
Phew! I'm tired just typing this up. Now for Ty I would expect one or two of these types of things to happen in a day, and believe me they do on a regular basis, but ALL of them in one day. I was pulling my hair out!
So that was two days ago. This was yesterday.
My poor little guy has a temp of 104! He has been moping around the house and laying on the couch all day. Can you believe the difference in the past 2 days. Like a whirlwind over here. Today he still has a fever but he is doing much better.

Goodbye and Hello!

Ty has said goodbye to two major things in his life these past few weeks.
#1. The crib. Ty is no longer my baby in his crib anymore (wiping the tears away)! He has been sleeping in a twin bed for about a month now. I was so worried about how he would do. When we moved the crib out of his room he cried for about an hour, on and off, and kept climbing into his crib. After that, he was okay with it. He has been sleeping wonderfully in his new "big boy" bed.

#2. The binkie, or what Ty calls it, his "B". We snipped the end off it and the next time he asked for it he took it out of his mouth and said, "It's broken". I said, "Oh no, we can't fix it, we better put it in the garbage." Ty walked over to the garbage and threw it away and went on with his day. That was it!! Seriously, I was expecting tantrums, crying, hitting, screaming.....you get the idea. He has asked for it a couple of times since, but I just tell him it was broken and we threw it away and he is fine with that. I think we were the ones that were more attached to it then Ty. Funny how that works!

Now, HELLO! to this.
Yep, we got him his own little froggy toilet. Don't get too excited, we aren't potty training yet. I started putting Ty on the big toilet right before he gets in the tub because I hate it when we pees in the tub water. He pees just great in the big toilet so I thought I would get him his own. He loves it and every night before bath he goes pee all by himself. When he is done he even dumps it in the big toilet and flushes it like a big boy all by himself. Then he jumps in the tub! I figure this is a good start for when we are ready to potty train him.
