Birthday Eve
We took some pictures of Ian in his Birthday Boy shirt before tomorrow when he inevitably gets it all messed up. I’ll share all the pictures on his birthday in the evening.
Again, the rate at which he is learning is crazy. Tonight we told him to tell his cars goodnight, and he said “night night cars!” and immediately turned the power off on each of them, before returning them to the toy box. He only had three out, but there are four in the set, so he started digging under the couch with a long plastic spoon, trying to reach them.
We explained that the fourth was in the toy box already, so he could just put the spoon in the toy box too. And he said “No.” Melissa and I shrugged, because we were already feeling pretty thrilled with the extended clean-up. But his “no” was explained in full when he ran to the kitchen, and we heard the drawer open, the clattering of the plastic spoon being returned to its proper home, and then the closing of the drawer.
