General update

Winston had a bit of the croup these past couple of days, but things are looking up and he's feeling much better. He was in a great mood tonight and was just a flurry of activity and so wanted to share while I am thinking of it. Sorry for the ramble, but here goes .....

Winston says "book" now (sounds more like "boo c", very soft "ka" at the end) and brings books over to be read to him. OR he brings two books over. One for you to read and one for him to read. He plops down near you and "reads" his book. If you don't read yours he gets upset. :-)

He is pretty much saying his version of "Brown Bear" - he LOVES that book, and all the companion books. And this morning he insisted on taking a book in the car w/him. AND he "read" it on the way to school! I kid you not! I could see him turning the pages and hear him jabbering away. (he's definitely my kid, loves books and cheese! Can't get enough of either one! :-)

He also says "Nigh nigh" for bedtime. He understands sooooo much it's trippy. We say it's nigh-nigh time and he walks into the bedroom to get ready. I ask if he's hungry (or sign it) and he toddles on over to his feeding chair. He was eating banana tonight and saw me bring out the bag of grapes, he made some sounds and some signs to tell me he wanted some. I said, ok, fine. But you have to finish your bananas. No bananas on your tray, ok? Well, the little monkey decided to "hide" the bananas, behind his head or under his tray. I "caught" him and he giggled so hard. He knew exactly what he was doing.

He loves balls of all kinds and will roll one back and forth to Jay. Jay often tosses a small soccer ball up the lowest three stairs and Winston goes after it. Today Winston was tossing the ball up the stairs just like his Daddy! And he kicks the ball too. He's pretty quick and "nimble" for those wobbly toddler legs. We joke that he's got his Daddy's "cat-like quickness" hehehe :-)

He gets upset if he has to leave a toy or a book for some reason, UNLESS we say bye-bye to the item. Then he waves and is fine with it. He carries food out of the pantry and over to his high chair, but if we say he has to put it back, he will! (ok, sometimes). But when he does, he puts it back in the cupboard and waves at it. "bye bye"

That's just some of the latest from Winston's world. :-) We'll keep you posted on more and send you pix soon!
