Weasel Of Doom

Favorite movie: Russian Winnie-the-Pooh. D. comes up to the entertainment center and says “Pooh!” when he wants to watch it; for a while, the demand for Pooh was constant. Now he slowed down a bit, in part because we put our foot down (it is so easy to just sit him in front of the TV instead of playing with him, so now he only watches before bed). Right before the end of each episode, he says “All done.” He makes the “ssssssshhhh” noise when the air escapes from the shot balloon. He says “Boom” when Pooh falls and hits tree branches and the ground.

Favorite book: Go Dog Go by P.D. Eastman. Or at least it was until yesterday. Today he did not want me to read it, so who knows. He can follow along with the conversation between two dogs (“Hello” and “Good bye” parts, anyway) and says “Go go go” when he wants to get going.

Favorite toy: cars, in particular a little yellow car from a McDonalds kids meal and a little red car from a package of batteries. He walks around looking for them, saying “caw, caw” (sounds like “cow, cow”). Little red car is the current favorite (and a choking hazard, I strongly suspect ;-). B. bought him a megablocks set that includes a ramp, and now the cars ride down it every evening – lots of fun.

Things he can do: will put things away when told “Put it back.” Can point out his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, feet, and hands. Gets a bit confused where the tummy is, but working on it. Loves jumping down the stairs. Most he jumped over is four, I think. Fearless little guy.

New words he can say: apple (applies to just about anything loosely apple-shaped). no-no-no. thank you (but you have to know that’s what he is trying to say). please (ditto). car. puppy. doggy. fishie. He babbles in full sentences, but we often don’t understand what he is trying to say.
