Sweetness...

Today was a good day.  Leo woke up in a super-sweet mood and was such a good little boy all day.  (At least he was with me, and his sitter didn't tell me otherwise so I am assuming he was wonderful for her all day, too).

He's talking a lot these days and it's so cute.  I can still only make out what he's saying about half the time, and he has all kinds of made-up words for certain things, but a lot of the time we communicate back and forth quite effectively, so that's fun.  He loves his monkey pillowpet ("Money") and he loves his blankie ("nigh nigh" or "cuggles").  He also loves bananas, grapes, and crackers (and crackers could be pretzels, cheez-its, wheat thins, or actual crackers) and he loves popcorn. 

He still says thank you quite often and is starting to say please ("peey") more regularly.  My favorite so far was today in the car, he wanted some more banana and said "mo peey, eet tyu" (more please, thank you) all in one breath.  He's also still doing the signs for please and thank you so that makes it even cuter. 

He tells me everytime he poo poos and wants his diaper changed immediately.  I will be buying him his very own potty this weekend.  He still has yet to actually go in the potty, but he likes to sit on it and wipe himself and then flush. 

He used to like for me to brush his teeth but now he demands to hold the toothbrush.  I used to get by by having two brushes and letting him hold one while I brushed his teeth.  He was distracted by the toothbrush he was holding, or more often his reflection in the mirror.  He likes to look in the mirror and laugh at himself and say "babeeeey".  Anyway, now, he wants all of the toothbrushes and I practically have to pin him down to get his teeth brushed.  Needless to say, his teeth are probably not as clean as they should be.  Daddy might be inheriting that job when he gets home. 

Ok, I am off to bed.
