Yummy things to eat!

Oh my sweet child cracks me up everyday:-)

His newest thing is to say "this is B's yummy things to eat" whenever we are having something he likes for a meal.

The other day, Ababa told B what they were having for lunch, but kept checking his email for a minute.  B excitedly bounded off towards the kitchen, stopped halfway there, turned around, deliberately held out his hand to Ababa and said "Ababa, let's go, we have yummy things to eat!"

He is also convinced that any box or envelope that arrives is a present for him and will very determinedly declare, "mommy, this is B's present" if I try to open the box.

He also now thinks that all boxes should be opened with knives (since we get everything in the mail and it usually has packing tape, we run a knife through the tape before opening).  It will be a LONG time before he gets to open a package on his own.

He calls (m&ms--our current potty training treat) m-ms (the "and" just doesn't seem to stick) and his typical potty monologue goes something like this "mommy, diaper dry...B shinte on the po-po....mommy, he'll be back (we're still working on pronouns:-)...mommy's getting potty treat...mommy's getting m-m"

His favorite books now are "The Snail and the Whale" "My Lucky Day" "Chicken Soup with Rice" and "The Little Engine That Could" but he still loves any and all books, including his faves from ET.

His singing repertoire now includes "eeesseee beeesseee spidah (itsy bitsy spider)" "roooooowroooooowroooow (row row row your boat)" and "twinkle (twinkle twinkle little star)" as well as "Jesus loves me" and "Where is Thumbkin". He's learning patty-cake and the hokey pokey and is getting pretty accurate with his letters and r/l hands (obviously ababa is teaching him that, since mama still has issues with r/l:-).  Numbers are still interesting, 1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 3 anyone?  In our house, that's how we count right now:-)

Thank you so much for all the lovely presents and notes we've received in the mail.  We're slowly but surely sending out thank you notes, so hopefully by Christmas we'll be caught-up:-)
