Before I forget …
A couple of weeks ago while I thought David was distracted by Sesame Street I snuck away to shower. While shampooing I hear a little voice saying, “wet, wet” and turn to find David pointing at me. I told him to go watch Elmo and he disappeared. A few minutes later, his little arm came through the curtain handing me our umbrella. It made me laugh so hard.
Because we live in Idaho an important word to learn is, “windy.” David quickly learned “windy” on our walks outside and for a while thought that was the name of the fan, too. I think it’s a pretty clever connection for a toddler.
There is a spot of dead grass we often pass outside when we go for walks. I never thought much of this spot of grass until David stopped to inspect it one day exclaiming, “Nine! Nine!” Sure enough, it looks like the number nine, if you’re 19 months old and learning your numbers.
And this is what I mean when I say he ‘sorts’ things:
Green lid in the green container, red car in the red container (he added the blue two after counting there were two containers). He also found the matching lids, I don’t keep them all matched up. I think it’s possible a little of my OCD tendencies are already rubbing off …
