I’m not sure what changed between this month and last month, but all of a sudden my child is a fountain of words and knowledge and just PURE GENIUS. Ok, maybe not genius. Maybe normal baby progression-ness. But seriously- the words he says surprise me now. I got out some of those word books for the first time in a few weeks and he happily pointed and called things by name. He didn’t learn it from the books, though, because he’ll point at a picture of a teddy bear and say, “Bear (ba-ra), RAAAA!” and under the picture it says, “Teddy.” So he must just be GATHERING this stuff. Storing it away and learning that bears on TV and in his toy box and in a book are all…bears…Smart boy. He also randomly knows all kind of body parts. Things like “hair” and “cheeks” in addition to nose, eyes, and ears. He wiggles his toes and fingers, shows you his belly. I think it might be time to teach him words for his private parts so we can get on with this whole potty training prep. We’ll see how that goes, but seeing as I’m home with him I’d like to try early potty training. But first I need to teach him to pull down and up his pants, and to say or indicate the words associated with bathroom-ness.
And speaking of the leetle genius, he’s awake now. So no more bloggy mommy I guess.
Later peeps.
