We are amazed listening to you chatter! You have so many more words...your new bathroom toys are all labeled now: turtle "durdle," beaver "beebea," seal "eel," and a frog "yock." You can even wind them up and watch them swim. You like the beaver the best...hmm some connection with Mama's mascot? You can name a lot of the Sesame Street characters too, Elmo, Abby, Oscar "yuck," Ernie "
Bathtime is a favorite part of your nighttime routine, you say "ba" and "bubble" when you are ready. You also think it is hilarious to rinse Mama's sudsy hands and then "DUMP!" it out. You were so excited to get into the bath this week that while Mama was getting you a towel and the tub was filling, you climbed into the tub with your clothes on!!!
Still fixated on the vacuum! At Grammie's you and Riley pushed each other around to wield both vacuums. When Lauren and I took you to Skippereno's their vacuum was in plain sight and it was very difficult to distract you; needless to say, you didn't eat much. You are the only little boy that I know of that has melt-downs over cleaning tools and not toys!
Up and down you go! You can go up the stairs, very quickly! You also have a one crooked leg and one straight leg method of going down the stairs. I'm glad we can gate off the stairs to the basement!
You are becoming an expert with technology! Every device is "Elmo" because you like to watch youtube videos of Elmo. You can unlock the ipad, Kindle and my phone and know where the apps are that you like and hit the play button to play videos. Unfortunately the power button is very tempting! Every night we watch Andre Bocelli singing goodnight to Elmo after our story. (As I'm writing this, you just clicked on a foreign language clip and started cracking UP!)
We are all looking forward to spring and summer so that we can go on walks and back to the zoo! We are going to have a great family summer!
