10 Things About My Boy
1. He loves vegetables. Some meals I have to insist he eat some protein and lay off the broccoli for a minute.
2. He is very ticklish on every part of his body. Even in our first days together he would laugh when lightly tickled even though he was not in a laughing mood.
3. His speech is definitely having some delays. He is going to be evaulated for early intervention therapy in a few weeks. He has a few words: DaDa, Dog, Hi, Bye, Light, and MaMa which means every other word not in his vocabulary. "Mama" is used as babble, in shouting form, whining and demands. None of these words are super clear but they are recognizable.
4. He is a little comedian. He will fall down on purpose to see if we'll laugh then he'll repeat his little prat fall until we stop laughing.
5. He really likes sweets and says "MMMMMMMM" when he spies cookies or cakes.
6. He is loud. And I mean really loud. He let out a squeal in a restaurant the other day that made my ears ring and every person in the place look our way.
7. He can climb like a cat. It usually takes him about a minute to figure out how to climb up onto something. I was washing dishes and he said "Hi". I turned around and there he was looking at me over the table. I turned back around to start back on the dishes when I remembered, oh yeah, he's too short to be looking at me over the table. He was on a chair. Guess I'd better get over my skittishness and buy lots of bandaids.
8. He loves to read books. He'll bring one to us to read no matter what we're doing (including going to bathroom).
9. Like the rest of us, he's a slave to the beat. Put on any music and he starts dancing. Additionally, he applauds at the end of any song, recorded or live. He will clap if I sing two lines of Itsy-Bitsy Spider. We were in the car and he was in the back seat screaming and crying because he was tired of being in the car. I turned on some music and he kept screaming, except when the song ended. He stopped crying and clapped his hands. Next song started up and he started crying again. He did this through the entire CD.
10. He is a loving, happy child. His smile and laughter light up a room. He is a little snuggle bear who loves his family and squeals when we get home. AND,
he is a challenging, demanding child. His fussing and screaming can clear a room. He will writh and thrash to get out of our arms if he's mad. He's one extreme or the other and I wouldn't have him any other way (but just between us the first way is A LOT easier to deal with!).
That's my boy.
