Reading Ready

Jonah has been pointing to the words on the books he has and "reading" by saying what he thinks the word says. It's hysterical to watch. Sometimes he's even right! The amazing part is that he gets the words actually do say something and he's really interested in it.

Big Boy Underpants

I forgot to mention but Jonah has been trained for pee for about 2 months now. He still like to do poops in a diaper but wears underwear the rest of the day. What a big boy!

Compliments will get you everywhere

Lately, Jonah has realized that when you want something, it helps to be charming.
Last week, I got my hair cut and whenever Jonah wanted something, he'd say, "I love your haircut Mommy!"
Tonight, since it's been a while since the haircut, after he was in his crib, he was calling out for me to come and cover him up (again). I came in and he said, "Mommy, I really like your pants." (I was wearing my same old pajamas!)

Building bridges (and roads)

Jonah and I built a road using cardboard blocks. He was pretty happy with it, but wanted to make it longer. I said "Go ahead and add some more blocks to the end." He came back a minute later and said "There aren't any blocks the right shape." He was right -- we had used all the blocks that fit together to make the road. There were other blocks around, but as he pointed out, they would leave a bump in the road.
