Goodnight Kisses
News: He’s crazily independent already, insisting on walking through the garage on his own… and doing things like walking up the stairs and counting them as he walks; because he simply wants to. In the car last night he began naming off animals and the sounds they make. Let me stress the difference: Nobody was asking him what an animal’s name was, or what sound they typically make. He just started ticking them off in his head, and putting the list to words. “Mooo. Cow. Horsey. Neighghghgh.” (He does a great neigh… there’s a little whinny in it.) This morning we tried to feed him a banana and he wouldn’t eat it unless he fed it to himself. We literally have to stick the portion of the banana that was given to him back on the fruit that is still in the peel. (I admit it is also incredibly hard to distinguish between “I’m don’t want what you’re offering me” and “I will only take what you’re offering me if I can feed it to myself.” A few times he’s said “I help.” which is his way of saying “I can do this myself.”) He also takes initiative to do things like clean up, now. He saw I left a game controller out last night so today said “Game.” “I back.” And put it “back” where it belongs, in a container under the couch.
Alright so now let’s go back in time again… This is at Grampa Dave and Grandma Marcia’s on February 14th, the promised “goodnight kisses” video. You may recall I mentioned this back when I showed a photo that Grampa Dave takes during this video clip. At long last, here it is!
