I'll start with Matthew (20 months) because he is having a word explosion and, at this age, learning something every day.
I just love when the little ones start talking, truly I do. Especially my Matthew - because all the kid did was scream - all day long. Ask anyone who called or visited our house - all you heard was screams.
He started with signing "more" and now he says it while signing, so cute. It's actually hysterical if he is bumming for more snacks. One night Daddy had a box if Matthew's favorite cookies (Chocolate Teddy Grahams) and he was climbing on Mike all while signing & shouting "more" (which in Matthew speak is MAW). Love him
He is learning colors - he knows Purple, Yellow, Blue and Red. He isn't loving orange or green (we aren't Irish, so it makes sense...). He likes to pick out crayons, Mega Blocks, Cars anything he can find with his favorite colors.
He can count to Three - One, dooo, teee - focking genious
He can point out & say all of his Handy Manny Tools - seriously, there are 7
He can point out & say all the Sesame Street Characters too.
Now my Michael, who is 5, is just full of hysterical stories.
Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day and he informed that a Leprechaun (a naughty one at that) came into school and messed up all their toys and took a big green poo in the toilet !?!??
Either he as quite an imagination or I should be reporting that daycare to the authorities.
He is also learning to read, I came home last night to him using his Leapfrog Tag Reader - and he announced - "Look Mom, I'm learning to read because...I'm Super Smart"
Yes honey, you are
He is also excited to start camping again, despite my greatest efforts - he will be an outdoorsman - fishing, boating, camping. Like father like son.
It's actually amazing to see how much Michael is like his father, not only in appearance, but just about everything. I see them spending a lot of time together, it's sweet.
Oh, I also sign him up for Kindergarten this month..............Hold Me
