Sunday Best

Just wanted to post a picture of the turkey in his Father's Day Sunday best. Let me tell you this kid did not want to stand still for a photo. But I just love this outfit and thought he looked dang cute today.

recent Petey-isms:

[going in to wake up Trav for his Father's Day french toast breakfast]
Me: Petey go wake up Daddy and say "Happy Father's Day"
Petey: Happy Bir-Day [birthday] Daddy!

[while Trav was putting Petey to bed]
Petey: Mommy be right back
Dad: Yep
Petey: Mommy get a haircut [I just got a haircut yesterday - he noticed!]
Dad: Yep
Petey: It's cute.

[on our 14 hour drive back from Idaho last week, I taught him this one]
Me: [shaking hands] Nice to meet you Petey.
Petey: Pleasure all mine.
