dweniusOooooh, brains.
He has started forming simple sentences. "Hello papa!" when I come home from work [melty], "Hug Jake?" or similar, and this weekend, in response to "Go see Papa", he comes toddling into the bedroom saying "Go see you!", flapping his arms around while grinning.
He wants to be read to! This is new. He goes out to the living room and makes a whiny noise to get your attention. When you enter the room, he says "Chair?" and scootches over to make room on the big comfy chair for you. When you sit down, he get's all excited, jumps down, runs over to his bookshelf and grabs a book or two. For most books (Guess How Much I Love You or Whistle for Willie or The Monster at the End of This Book) he mostly wants to flip around the pages, or shut the book suddenly and say "End!"
But but but! More than half the time, if he grabs a single book, he grabs Goodnight Moon, and he will sit very patiently as I read it to him. Maybe it is something about the cadence? He won't do this with any other book. He points out objects he knows, and he always bends over to kiss the two kittens both times they are named.
This may turn into one of those rituals of endless repeat that drive parents batty, but for now, I am only too pleased to read this book to him over, and over, and over.

Goodnight to the old lady, whispering "hush".

There was a telephone
And a red balloon
And a picture of
The cow jumping over the moon!
