If you give a mouse a cookie…he is going to ask you to read it again.
And if you read it again, he will want to you to read it again…and again…and
again. Jeremy loves books and being read to. He is able to sit for short story
books now, but his favorite by far is “Mouse.” I tried to buy similar ones,
like If you give a pig a pancake; however, that just added to the pile
of favorites and seems to remind him that what he really wants is “Mouse.” In
addition, somehow he got confused and now calls pigs “pancakes.” Oops. I wonder
if he thinks he is eating pigs for breakfast…
Jeremy
still loves Elmo and Sesame Street. The other day, he opened a trashcan, looked
inside, and said, “Grouch?” Also, he loves his magna doodle, which he calls
“Picture” He constantly brings picture to us and demands a “Gouch!” (aka Oscar
the Grouch). If he approves of your drawing, he will color it in or carry it
around with him for a while. If not, he erases your masterpiece and demands
another one. We have drawn a lot of grouches recently. Actually, Christian is
getting pretty good at them.
“Outside!”
He loves being outside. The park, sandbox, ride on toys, his Cozy coupe,
bubbles, water table, wagon, and swimming are all some of his favorite
pastimes. He loves meeting his playgroup at different nearby parks for playtime
as well as just playing in the backyard. Truthfully, if he is cranky, his mood
instantly changes just by going outside.
As you
can see, Jeremy is fully talking. He is not quite stringing words into
sentences, but he says the name of everything and knows how to express what he
wants. He knows tons of animals and what they say. He knows the rainbow of
colors and names most things by their colors. Walking through the grocery store
is just a constant string of colors, “Red, blue, green, red!” He has a puzzle
that has shapes and colors. For a while, the purple star was missing, so Jeremy
would walk around saying, “Star, are you?” (I HATE missing puzzle pieces, so I
eventually bought a new one.) He holds phones to his ear (backwards) and says
someone’s name like “Dada! Mimi? Papa. Drew?” He is learning to identify
letters and knows about 7-8 of them consistently at this point.
We can’t
believe that he is a year and a half now. It seems so weird to start counting
in years and not in months!
