These are a few of my favourite things...

As Malachi gets older, his likes and dislikes change like the wind. Something that makes him happy one week, is kicked to the curb the next. But these are some of his favorite things recently.

- Sunglasses -
Malachi was forever stealing my sunglasses so we finally got him a pair of his own - best $5 we ever spent! He wears them everywhere.
- The Beach -
This kid would live there if we let him. He loves sand, moving it through his hands, throwing it in the air. And he loves the water. He just walks right on in there, dangerous boy.
- Brushing his teeth -
If you're in the bathroom you can't escape this kid, he comes running in pointing to his teeth and getting very excited. When you're done brushing his teeth, he cries. Malachi has dental hygiene on lock down.
- Exercising -
In my effort to lose the baby weight, we bought this airclimber. I love it, and so does Malachi, he mimics me and my movements. He does the same during Turbo jam, jumping, bending, kicking. No wonder he's so skinny....
- His Camel -
Our friend Amraa brought him back this camel from Mongolia and he loves it. He calls it ''mumil'' and carries it around everywhere.
- Bathtime -
Malachi loves to shower and bathe. If you're in the shower and he's not, there are tears, tears, tears. He likes lying down in the water, and recently has become a big fan of "babues".
- The slide -
Seen as he's a big now now and everything, Malachi goes down the big slide - over and over and over again. This morning i counted 16 times before it rained (thank goodness!)
- Ice-cream -
After the playground, Malachi knows he gets an icecream. So when we walk in the house he starts making the sign for icecream, licking his fingers. And this kid can down popciles and icecream faster then any kid i've ever seen!!

This kid changes everyday and I'm sure next week this post will be totally out of date, but for now, these are a few of the boys favourite things....
