Talking up a storm!

I was in Orlando this week for work. Every time David would call, Cameron was in the background saying "Grandma". David would say "No, it's mom". Then his response was "Mom all gone"...over and over. All gone seems to be his favorite phrase these days.

He's talking up a storm!! When we have the tv on, he wil repeat the last 2-3 words of every sentence. When David was talking on the phone, he will copy what he says and even laugh when he laughs. We're up to sentences of a few words...though still moments of complete gibberish.

I love listening to him talk!!

Nakes = Snakes
Giraps= Giraffes
Bish = Fish (he loves them and I'm dying to take him to Shark Reef)

Still very bossy. He is now saying "sit down" and patting the floor next to him when he wants you to sit on the floor and read him a book (which is all the time). When he wants you to go somewhere with him he will say "Go" and try to push/pull you in that direction. Another thing he learned at daycare...he will say "watch" before he does something.

He is still all about helping. When we load/unload the dishwasher he hands everything to us one at a time. Moving laundry from the washer to the dryer. Even learning to show empathy. This is a game Grandma Beth started when she was last out here. He threw a stuffed animal and she said "Awww, he's crying". So Cameron got all concerned and gave him a kiss. Now, out of the blue he will tell us something is crying and make us kiss it.



Now that he is Mr. Independent he goes up and down the stairs all by himself. A game he likes to play is giving kisses between each of the banisters. This definitely slows down the process of getting down the stairs, but you take the kisses when you can get them.



We are getting close to full potty training. We bought a seat for him and he will sit on the potty by himself. The other day he got some new big boy underwear. He loves them...even though he didn't get Dora. His have Diego, Wonder Pets, and "Banjbob" (Spongebob). Very soon we will be going cold turkey with no diapers for a day and see if we can't ge thim on track.
