Dialogue

Ian continues to astound with his growing vocabulary!

Ian – (Watching Daddy vacuum for a moment) “Clean the floor and pick-up dirt!”
Me – “That’s pretty impressive, kiddo, you’re very smart, you know?”
Ian – “I know, Daddy.”
Me – “That’s even MORE impressive.”

We were singing a number of songs, which we got on video, hopefully on the site here in a couple of days. At the end of each song I’d say “What’s another song?” and Melissa would name a song, and we’d sing it. Later, Ian started singing again, and got to the end of the song… but did not get the same response from us; so he helped me fill it in:
Ian – “Ask me ‘whas anudder song!'”
Me – “What’s another song?”
Ian – “How ’bout ‘Row Your Boat?'” (begins singing)

I’ve got another video where Ian talks to the “baby” in my fat belly, just to be funny. But he did also talk to the real baby in Melissa’s belly…

Ian – “Thar’s the baby. That’s my bwotha in thar.” (No we don’t know the sex of the baby yet…)

Ian – “Bwotha or sister, I wanna boy.” (There was a point where Ian would repeat back whatever the second part of any choice… so if you said “Boy or girl?” He’d say “Girl.” If you said “Girl or boy?” He’d say “Boy.” But I think he’s leaning toward wanting a little brother these days… well, that or he knows in a way that modern medicine cannot. Hey, weird things happen.)

I’m working on DVD4… after my first round of edits it is over 2 hours long. The DVD’s I’ve made so far averaged about 40 minutes in length. To be fair, DVD4 covers Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas and Ian’s first birthday, so there’s a million pictures and lots of video footage to contend with.
