So, I guess this "tagging" stuff is something that people do in the blogging world. Parker got tagged by his friend Calvin, so here it goes....
8 Things You Might Not Know About Parker

1. Although Parker still loves The Backyardigans, he does have another new love. Blue's Clues. He is becoming obsessed with this show, and constantly goes to the remote picks it up, and says "Blue Blue Blue!" There is a little song and dance they do in each episdode, and Parker practically does the whole thing. Anthony and I are not big fans of the show (we get pretty bored), but we love to watch him get so excited over it!

2. One of his favorite hobbies is SLEEPING! He sleeps from about 7:30 at night until 7:30 in the morning, and still naps anywhere from 2-3 hours a day! Most of the time this is a great thing, but if we are out and about and Parker gets tired, EVERYONE is going to know it. He gets totally cranky. He now goes to the bottom of our steps and says "night night" everytime he is ready to take a nap or go to bed.

3. He is a VERY stubborn eater. He has to use a fork now with everything he eats, refuses help from us most of the time, and only wants to eat what he wants to eat. It is almost impossible to even get him to try something new. He turns his nose up at it, and pushes it away. Let's just say that the kid eats the same things over and over! The one good thing is that he does love fruit. Veggies are a different story. He could eat fruit and cheese all day long and be happy though!

4. He is a very cautious little boy and loves to observe. He likes to take things in and really concentrate on what he is doing. He can be SO serious at times, and Anthony loves to imitate his "Mr. Serious" face. He can go from being Mr. Serious to Mr. Wild Man in a matter of seconds though. Once he takes it all in and figures out what he is about to do of course :)

5. He LOVES to dance. Anytime music comes on, he will stop what he is doing to show off his moves. Which primarily consist of spinning in circles, swaying back and forth and clapping his hands.

6. Parker has his own language called "Jibber Jabber." He will have complete conversations with you in his own language. He will tell stories over and over using the same "words" and gets frustrated at times if you don't know what he is saying. He throws the "real words" that he knows in the middle of these stories, so we just read between the lines and try and figure out what he is saying or wanting. He is really starting to talk (real talk) a lot more now too! It seems like every day he is saying a new word or two. We think once all of his "jibber jabber" turns into 100% real words, that we aren't going to be able to get him to be quiet!

7. His first sentence was "Elmo, Elmo, I need dat. I need dat." Needless to say, he got the Elmo b/c we thought it was so cute. We hear "I need dat and I want dat and I like dat" quite a bit now!

8. He started his new daycare last week also. He will be going there on Tues. and Wed. and will be with my mom on Thursdays. He did MUCH better than we were expecting, so we are all optimistic that this go around is going to be a much better experience for all of us. He has gotten attached to the blanket we had to send from home. This is funny b/c he never carries a blanket around here. They said that he did not want it to leave his side last week at daycare. I know it must just be a security thing b/c it reminds him of home, and I'm sure he will eventually drop the blanket and feel comfortable. I was just happy to know that he didn't scream all day long!

So, there you have it. 8 things you might not have know about Parker...but, actually most of you probably did. I had trouble coming up with anything that was top secret that no one knew :)

I am going to "tag" anyone else who reads this, has a blog, and wants to play along. (maybe xander and jackson????)
