Turtle Talk and the Ball Pit

This morning we were looking through Oliver's adorable artwork from "school" and praising Oliver for his artistic abilities.  I pulled out a turtle that he had glued paper to and said Oliver look at the turtle and then plain as day he said turtle!!!  Jacob and I looked at each other with our jaws on the floor...Did he just say turtle?!?!?  We looked back at him and I said can you say turtle and he said it again.  We couldn't believe it.  It was the cutest thing.

I talked to Jacob after he dropped him off at "school" and he said that he asked Ms. Gladys if they had been teaching him to say turtle.  She said that she knew he could say turtle and that he talks all the time; which he does at home too.  She said that he can say quite a few words and he picks up on things very quickly!  A genius in the making!! Ha!

This week Oliver got a new toy.  I picked him up early from "school" on Monday and we headed to Target to get a few things and a little something special.

Balls, balls and MORE balls!!

He didn't know what to think of the ball pit at first, but quickly learned how fun it is to dive into the balls and throw them everywhere!!  Not just throw the balls and dump the entire pit over so the balls go everywhere!! Ha...such a B-O-Y!!

Now, there is just one problem that I saw coming just not on day TWO!! We have a hole in the "pit"!!

I am pretty sure that a cat is to blame.  Now we just have to locate the hole and patch it up, but until then we just keep blowing it back up and watch Oliver have a blast!
