I am learning quickly that if I do not begin to write a few things down about your childhood, Watson, I will soon forget them. So here are a few things that I would like to remember about you this month.
-If you suddenly disappear, we often find you in your room on your rocker reading books
-You love giving hugs and now you make a "kissy" noise when you give us kisses
-Your language development has exploded although your favorite words continue to be "woah" and "okay"
-Other words we are beginning to decipher are "wan" for want, dear boy we hear that one a lot and not everything you want you get. I have a hard time with that one as well. You also say biscuits, but it doesn't quite sound like biscuits....
-Instead of saying cat or dog or cow you make their sounds and our favorite is your monkey noises or your wolf howl.
-You have mastered "daddy" and "mommy" for awhile now but you think it is funny to call me "daddy" *sigh*
-Other words include: Mine, cheese, juice, one, two (never three), keys, shower, baby, cha cha, nanna, ya ya, poppy which sounds like "bobby", and jump for the trampoline, and shoe shoes for shoes
-You have even mastered a few simple sentences: "I wanna show", "Let's go", and "Where is she?"
-You tell us to "shoosh" when Ellie is sleeping
-You absolutely love wrestling with dad and you try to distract him so that you can go in for the sneak attack
-Some of your favorite things are going outside, jumping on the trampoline, eating sweets *sigh*, playing in the car and being read to.
-You have started throwing fits. We knew this day would come and in your normal fashion you do it your own way which typically involves throwing yourself down and being completely still. You usually get up in a better mood so we let you have your time.
-You are a champion sleeper and you typically take a nap from 12-3 and go down for bed around 8.
Watson, you continue to be a joy to be around. Our love for you grows daily. I love being your mommy even though you call me daddy!
