TJ Loves...

Cupcakes.  (if you can't tell from the picture)

Singing.  Some of his favorite songs are: "Life is a Highway" "You've Got a Friend in Me" "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" "You Are My Sunshine"  "Que Sera Sera" and "Sing a Song of Six Pence" Ms. Irina says he loves to sing solos at music class, and if they skip a song, he'll tell them, "Hey guys, you forgot 'Twinkle Twinkle!"  He also likes to dance to Kenny Chesney and sing "My tractor's sexy!"

Korean Cartoons.  He watches "Robots" and "Little Bus Tayo" on YouTube.  I'm not even sure how we came across them, but he loves them!  I had to google them to find out what their names were since it was written in Korean.  But TJ, he knew the blue bus' name was Tayo without me saying anything.  Freaky.

M&Ms.  He eats them with Pa on the computer.  TJ will pick out a color and tell Pa to eat the same color with him.

BoBos.  He enjoys playing and sharing with our cat, Bo.  He'll give him chicken, blackberries, peas... everything but M&Ms.  He likes to play trucks with Bo, rolling them along his back.  Bo enjoys the massage, too! :) This morning, TJ was so excited because Bo slept in his room on his rocking chair.

Cars, trucks and blocks.  He has a ton of them, and he plays with them all.  He tells me he loves "trash trucks the best," but he likes any kind of construction trucks and tractors.  He also loves all of his Cars from the movie.  He can play endlessly with his Legos... making trains, airplanes and cities.

Jack.  Every night he talks about his best buddy Jack.  He usually says something like, "Jack's trouble." or "Susie's a hot mess."  But he always says, "I go see him in Colorado."

Daddy, Ga & Pa.  Every night before bed he has to call both Daddy and his Ga & Pa and tell them "night night!"  He gets mad at me if I hang up the phone before he gives them a kiss, and he'll make Mommy call them back.

Watching TV.  Cars, Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Firemand Sam and Caillou are on the most requested and most-watched list right now.  He also loves to watch Wipeout and Dancing with the Stars... and he acts BOTH of the shows out!

'Nastics.  We are lucky we found a great place for TJ to continue going to gymnastics once a week.  The one here offers more of a "free-play" style, and he loves to climb ladders, walk on the balance beam, do handstands, jump on the trampoline, and towards the end... chase the girls! :)

Talking.  This kid never stops talking.  He will talk (or sing) himself to sleep.  He will talk in his sleep.  He will talk when he's eating... he talks all the time!!! He even talks (and sings) in Russian.  He says please, thank you, you're welcome, car, jacket, poop, 'good boy,' and who knows what else. He's becoming quite the expert. Today, he even corrected me when I made a poor attempt at saying "You're welcome" in Russian.

Colorado.  Or as he says it, Codorado.  He misses home.  He asks about Colorado every day, and he talks about his Colorado house and his Colorado school and his Colorado friends.  He likes San Franchesco, too, but he's so excited to be going to "Codorado" this weekend to see everyone!
