He prefers to have his little doggie, big doggie, baby doll, and a few toys in his bed for naps and bedtime. I still sing him a collection of songs before I put him in his crib. By the last song, he usually cuts me off and says "Bye." This kid knows when singing is over and sleeps to needs to happen.
If he really wants cookies, which is usually always, he asks, "Tookies? Yeah?"
He can count to three, using three methods:
1. "Aye, Two, Aye"
2. "Two, Two, Two"
3. "Aye, Two, Yeah"
He likes to participate in family prayer by repeating any words he knows how to say like mamma, dadda, nona, grandma, etc. He always helps us finish the prayer with a resounding "men!"
If he really wants to go to the pool, he says, "Pool? Bubbles? Yeah?"
He has been playing with toy figurines that we have inherited from loved ones. He carries about seven of them around at one time. One of them is a plumber he calls "Dadda" and another is the little mermaid (Ariel) whom he calls "Momma."
He is starting to put two words together, like "Hi, Momma" or "Daddy, hi."
He loves loves loves school buses, trucks, buses, and motorcycles. We go on early morning walks and he is enthralled by what he sees driving down the street. We wave to all the school buses that go by.
If someone mentions basketball, soccer, football, etc., he looks up at either Jonny or me and says, "ball!" He loves playing with any type of ball and is thrilled when someone is talking about sports.
Sometimes when we tell Harrison, "I love you!", he responds back with a resounding, "I, too!"
If he wants to be included in something, be it eating cookies, playing with a ball, or drinking milk, he says "too?" This "too" means "mom, may I please have some?" He is so well mannered.
