Well, naturally I thought of a bunch more fun stuff that’s new in the past month as soon as I hit “publish.” That’s just how it works, y’all. So here we go…
You developed a terror of having your hair washed after a single incident of soapy water getting in your eyes. So now we all take turns wearing your new special bath hat:
You get such a big kick out of crossing the street that sometimes our walks consist almost entirely of crossing the street. You say “yay” every time we reach the other side.
You now have a running commentary while you play.
You enjoy sending people, animals and food on trips into space, and will say “bass” (“blastoff”) after Mama or Daddy says “3,2,1.” Then you sit and cackle while we fly the the ship around.
You deploy the word “funny” correctly. You use the word “have” to ask for things, then use “may” to say it’s okay for you to have whatever you were just given. You also use both words to say that someone else has something.
You like fire quite a bit.
You have begun throwing things, seemingly for fun. And so now we chat about why throwing is not always a good idea.
You watch video clips of songs while Mama brushes your teeth, and you want her to sing whatever song is newest at nap time and bedtime. Right now, it’s this.
You play with words, most notably turning later into laytay, tuna into tunoo, soon into soonoo. You also substitute “f” for “s,” making it tons of fun to listen to you talk about something being stuck.
You have a few new clear two-syllable words, most notably “coffee” and “photo.”
You expect everything to open, especially toy cars.
You can get into the bathtub all by yourself. Sometimes you try to do it before we get you naked.
You recognize the numbers 2, 4, 5 and 8. Credit for this is due entirely to your father.
