We had finished shopping and we were walking through the store on our way to pay. Trey would go from one rack of clothes to the next and stand on the bar thing at the bottom of the rack where the wheels are. He would say something each time he was on the bar, but I couldn't quite understand him at first.
Once again he got up on the bar, and I finally realized that he was standing on the bar with both feet and kind of swaying back and forth while holding my hand and saying (quite clearly once I realized what it was!) "(s) kateboard".

it's all about the benjamins
Trey, Auntie Em and I were shopping this afternoon. Emily had been MIA for a while, but when she reappeared, she brought with her one of our favorite babysitters from back in the day to see the Dude.
The Dude was continuing some dance moves and showing her some shoes, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to show Andee some of his vocabulary skills. I asked Trey what I thought would be a cut and dry question "What does Grampie give you?". We had just been at Grammie and Grampie's house on Friday, so I just knew Trey would respond "cone". To Auntie Em and my great surprise, Trey responded "money".
This Dude knows what's up.

While eating dinner last night, Blinn and I were talking amongst our selves for no more than a minute. When we turned our attention back to Trey, we observed him dragging his hand through his ketchup and then hanging it off the side of his chair so Gus could lick it off.
Daddy asked, "Trey what are you doing"? Trey said, "Gussie. Dip".

like father like son
I asked Trey what he wanted for breakfast.
The response accompanied by a strong head nod was, "tacos".
For this, his Daddy is eternally grateful.

don't mess with the dog
We attended Trey's Great-Grandma and Grandpa Farm's 60th wedding anniversary party this weekend. I had packed an assortment of toys in Trey's bag (as a side note, once I got to the party and opened the bag, I saw that Trey had also packed some toys- 1 ball and two hammers) and he had also brought his beloved dog "Puppy" along.
Puppy is a small chihuahua that was sent to him by his Great-Grandma Hazel. Puppy is about 4 inches high and if you turn him on he makes a yipping noise and walks. Puppy gets lots of Trey snuggles, Puppy gets covered in blankets, and Puppy has even gotten some milk poured on his mouth; Trey. Loves. HIS. Puppy.
While at the party, he was off playing with his sweet cousin Blake in front of the table we were sitting at. His older cousin Carsten saw Puppy sitting on the table and decided to turn Puppy on. Blinn and I watched as Trey popped up from his spot on the floor and with his little brow furrowed, hustle over to Carsten. He shook his finger at Carsten and said "DON'T. MINE". Carsten looked a bit shocked at begin told what's up by a 20 month old, but the message was received. Puppy is Trey's.

close, but no cigar
Trey attends Soccer Tots practice every Saturday. Heavy on the parent participation, singing, and running; light on legit soccer skills- we all LOVE it! Saturday morning s were the only day with a time that worked for schedule, so Trey's "playing up" in the 24-36 month group (as of Oct. 15, he's 20 months).
A couple of "practices" (heh) ago the coach was handing out colored balls for the kids to use in the next drill. Our awesome Coach Shareene asked the two children before Trey what color was their ball prior to her giving it to them. Anthony responded "red", JP responded "green", and then next in line was Trey. Coach grabbed a blue ball and asked "what color is this Trey"?
Trey, with arms outstretched confidently answered "MINE".

CASE on the brain
Trey has fallen in love with combines. He was able to ride with his Grandpa Mike (along with his Daddy) in his combine twice this summer for 2 1/2 hours each ride! Trey has become proficient at saying "kawbine" (combine), "trakTOR" (tractor), and "weeeat" (wheat) thanks to his time on the farm this summer. A couple of cute stories have emerged from Trey's first real harvest:
- When heading down to Almira to ride in the combine for the second time, Blinn told me that Trey woke up twice from a nap and would look around in the truck and ask "kawbine"?
- For the first couple of days after his final combine ride of the season, Trey would see Blinn pull up in the truck (that they took down to Almira) and say "kawbine? kawbine?".
- When at Dee Dee's house last week, he was putting on different hats and came across a straw one. He put the hat one and said (of course, I'm getting redundant at this point) "kawbine" to Dee Dee.
- Last night at dinner (after eating an entire ear of corn) all on his own Trey said "kawbine". Blinn and I said something back to him like "yes, you like to ride in the combine". Next, all on his own, Trey said "Mike". Usually when we talk about combines we remind him that he rode on one with Grandpa Mike. We'll work on the prefix. ;)

that's f*!kin teamwork!
Blinn witnessed this exchange of teamwork between Blake and Trey about a month ago:
Trey and his cousin Blake were playing outside at their Grandpa Mike and Grandma Lorie's house with a toy tractor that was on runners.
Blake was driving the tractor around and a runner suddenly fell off. Blake kept right on pushing the tractor, and Trey hurried over and picked up the down runner.
Trey hollered "Bakey Bakey (Blakey Blakey)!" and ran towards Blake carrying the runner. When Trey caught up to Blake he showed him the runner that had fallen off. Blake said "uh oh" which Trey followed up with "broke". Then the two cousins got down on their haunches and examined the broken tractor.

don't get any ideas
July 17, 2010 was my 10 year high school reunion as well as the Pioneer Days parade in beautiful Davenport, WA. We took Trey down to watch the parade and Grandma Lo and Great-Grandma Sherry were watching Baby Brody (Trey's cousin) so he was able to come and watch the parade with us!
A little background for you- Trey, Blinn and I went down about a week after Brody was born to visit him, Blakey, Uncle Justin and Auntie T. Trey liked looking at Brody, but while I was holding Brody, Trey needed to have every.single.piece. of his body touching me. It's true. I have the pictures to prove it. So, needless to say, I knew Trey wouldn't be mean to Baby Brody, but I wasn't optimistic that I would get a lot of baby-holding time.
While I held Brody on my lap, Trey went over and climbed up on his Grandma Lo's lap. He then stretched his little arms out towards Brody and I and said "come. come". It took me a while to realize that he wanted to hold Brody on his lap. Blinn took about half a dozen amazing pictures of Trey looking so proud to be holding Brody!
The Dude will make an awesome big brother someday. SOMEDAY NOT SOON. heehee Until then, thank goodness for sweet cousins!

he doesn't just save the drama for his mama
This story was told to us by Grandma Lo who along with Grandpa Mike took Trey to his first Mariner's game on July 24, 2010.
Trey had grown tired of picking at his grilled cheese sandwich while eating out with his Grandpa Mike and Grandma Lo. He was sitting in his high chair while Grandma Lo was on the phone and Grandpa was observing the situation. Trey looked at his Grandma and stretched his arms out towards her while still in his high chair and said pleadingly "Help me! Help me!".
Grandma wrapped up her phone conversation while Grandpa laughed at Trey's dramatic request to get out of his high chair.
