Talk:
I do talk all the time, but it's not always in English. Mom says I'm bilingual, which is true, but it's the language I made up all by myself. I do say a lot of English words and phrases and some small sentences, but it's so much more fun speaking in my own secret language. It's great because I know exactly what mom and dad are saying at all times and am pretty good about following their directions, but they don't have a clue what I'm saying when I speak in my native tongue.
People think it's funny when I say, "Thank you, Thank you" after I do something amazing like sommersault off the couch. They also laugh really hard when I repeat what they say like, "Oh my goodness!" and I can tell they try not to laugh when I yell, "BOOBS!!" so I just keep yelling it. One of these days I'm going to do it in public, like an elevator, and it's going to be hilarious!
Move
I'm always on the go. I love to put on my boots and bounce around the house while I say, 'bouncy! bouncy! bouncy!' Mom and Dad have dance parties with me and man are they funny. Second to dancing I love to just haul big things around the house. My mom always says I'm a boy after my daddy's heart when I do things like that. I especially like to haul the big couch pillows around and find them a new home or toss them down the stairs. I actually toss a lot of things down the stairs. The other day I thought it would be fun to toss a cup of water down the stairs, and it was fun, but mom wasn't to happy about it.
Love
I love music class and I love my music teacher. I love to dance and sing with my friends. I also love to play dress up. I put on all sorts of different hats, boots, clothes and accessories and go about my day as if nothing is different. I love the challenge of wearing mittens (or rubber cleaning gloves or dad's baseball gloves...) as I play. I really like to wear my Mickey Mouse jammies and if my mom didn't hide them from me I would wear them all day everyday. I also love to play with my friends at the gym. Daddy brings me most days after work so Mommy can get a little break and I can run around with all of my friend. When daddy gets home and asks me if I want to see my friends I get so excited I start saying 'bye bye' to Mama and baby Veda and run to get my jacket on. When I want to relax I love to have a blankie in my lap and to rub the edges on my face; it really calms me down. My favorite is to have my blankies on the big chair and to watch Elmo. Mom puts a cap on my TV time and it really annoys me. I wish I knew how to work that remote! I also like to look at books and have mom or dad read them to me. Current favorite is David Gets in Trouble and I used to love The Very Hungry Caterpillar until I read it so many times that the pages fell apart. Whoops! I do much better being strapped in my carseat now, I really don't mind it. I actually enjoy watching all of the big trucks on the road and saying, "Rooom Rooom!" as we pass them. Being on sneeze patrol is fun, too. I get to go around blessing people if they sneeze or cough.
Mischief
I am a really good boy, I am a good listener and I usually do what mommy tells me to do, but I often have the urge to get into things that I'm not supposed to and whenever I can I do. I've been known to crawl on mom's sewing table and swallow a button or two. I love climbing on the edge of the bathtub so I can reach in mom's drawers in the bathroom and play with her contact case and bobbi pins. Dad's drawers are fun too; trying out his cologne and deoderant is a blast. Once I put his deoderant all over my face and hair...that didn't go over so well with the 'rents! If I find any sort of coin laying around I just need to see what it tastes like. Doesn't taste all that great, but I still put them in my mouth all the time. Probably because I know they're off limits. If I am playing with something that I'm not supposed to and mom catches me my plan usually is to quick hand it to her and give her a cute grin while I say, "Thank you!" She takes it away and shakes her head, but I know she thinks I'm too cute to do too much. Or if the toy is small enough I beg her to let me just have it in my pocket promising not to put it in my mouth. Sometimes she actually trusts me! Oh, and one more thing, pens. I love to color and draw and my least favorite place to color or draw is on paper. It's the best when I can sneak away with a pen and go to town on a bench or table. I even autographed dad's nightstand with permanent marker. I thought it was cool, he didn't!
Sleep
I have realized that an afternoon nap is necessary or else I find I'm in trouble and in tears for the rest of the day. Mom is a definate sucker, though, she still rocks me before bed. I love the snuggles and it helps me to calm down before I go to sleep. Now that Veda is here mom rocks us both of us at the same time because Veda hates to not be held. I do much better now that I'm used to the new baby around. I used to cry before nap time because mommy wasn't rocking me long enough, but now I know she won't come back and get me so I just make the most of it and fall asleep on my own in my crib. I am good to my mom and give her a break for about three hours each day while I sleep. And Daddy puts me to bed at night and he is no sucker so I don't even attempt the crying act with him. I go to sleep around 8:30pm and try to get about 11hours of sleep, that way everyone seems happier.
Eat
Yum, I love food. I am still a huge protein junkie: hot dogs, lunch meat, chicken breasts, eggs, you name it, I love it. I do at least try mosts foods and surprisingly that broccoli stuff is pretty good, but not as good as avocados, oranges, graham crackers, or grapes; those are my favorite! And guess what?! I now can eat bananas whole (no more slicing for me) and have come to really love peanut butter and jelly toast. Dairy is very yummy to me, but man are my diapers bad news if I have too much. I mostly drink rice milk mixed with Lactiad whole milk but even then my tummy can get a little upset with that cow's milk. All of that food is making me grow so big and strong!
Play
I do like to play by myself and I am pretty good at it. Trains, cars, blocks, and forts those are some things I like to play with. My favorite is playing with Daddy because he chases me and wrestles me until I laugh so hard that I can't stop. During the day mom and I play with Play-Doh and do a lot of coloring. Sometime she lets me help her bake cookies or muffins and I love licking the bowl!
Help
I am a huge help around the house. If mom or dad take out the vacuum or broom I am right them next to them asking to help. Cleaning up the house together is so much fun. I help Mama dust; she sprays the dusting stuff and I hold the bottle while she wipes down the tables. I love it when mom gets a basket full of clean clothes to fold. She folds and I play in the basket, it works out perfect! And I help with baby Veda, too. If the baby cries I try to shove her Binky in her mouth or I rock her in her car-seat. Veda prefers mom to fix her crying, but I try and help when I can.
Anyway, that's about it. Happy Birthday to me!!
