Here are some of your latest sayings and doings:
You say "I can't want it" or "I can't like it" when you don't want to do something. Our godson Oliver said those same phrases when he was 2 and Alex and I thought that was so funny 8 years ago.
You are obsessed with books. Some days we spend hours cuddled up in bed reading. You've memorized the entire book "I'm Dirty". You love Papa Get the Moon. Good night Moon (my favorite as a child!) And any book about diggers and trucks.
Like a parrot, you constantly say in such a cute voice "Hey Mama, what's goin' on? Dada, how you doing?" When I ask you how you are doing you say "Pretty good!" When I call your name looking for you, you say "I'm right heeeeere!" We were taking a family walk and dada was teaching you not to walk in the middle of the road. You would stay on the shoulder for a few seconds but then wander back into the middle. Dada sternly said "Alistair! Look where you are? Where are you?" and you thought about it and proudly pointed to yourself and said "Right here!" We both cracked up.
Sometimes you will say "Goodbye! See you next week!"
You hold up a pretend phone and say "Hello?? I can't HEAR you!" (I wonder where you learned that from?)
You love to pretend to pressure wash. Your memory is amazing. One time learning. You can recount what you did and saw, and you talk about certain memories from when you were around 20-22 months old (Gwama Wama's house. Rocks. Alistair dump them in the red car. Tunnel, eages, Gwama's white car) You got to visit your new school and watch dada paint. You had a blast playing the the Russian Nesting Dolls, and still talk about them. If I say something you agree with you reply with this funny accent "A haaa" (like a fancy "uh huh") And you still do this funny thing where you will say something like "Alistair go outside?" and I'll say "You want to go outside?" and you say excitedly "OK!" like it was my idea. Now that it's summer we've had some fun high schoolers babysit you. I love seeing how friendly and outgoing you are. You blow kisses to strangers. You still love pretending you are cat. You've been doing a lot more make believe. (frisky puppy after a bath. pretending to pour and drink coffee). You love to say "whats that?" and lately I've been playing a game where I tell you it's something totally wrong to make you laugh. Like you'll point to a ceiling fan and say "Mama, what's that?" and I'll say "That's....a banana" and you laugh and say "That's not a banana!" and the game goes on and on! It keeps you amused and entertained when we have to stand in long lines.
You love playing in the "jungle" (bushes)
You know the ENTIRE alphabet, and also the entire songs to Twinkle Twinkle and Eensy Weensy spider. You love the song "Boom di ada" from the Wee Sing CD in the car. You can match pitches and can remember the same pitch for a few minutes.
You continue to be the most happy, most well behaved, and sweetest little love. Each stage I find myself wishing that it would last forever, but you just get more and more fun!
