Little Griper

Lately, Alex has been mocking me when he's frustrated with a lack of doing what he wants. Well, it's really more like a list of mutterings about what I've said in the past. 'Bubbles...no. Bubbles....later. Bubbles...soon! Outside....later! Playground....later!'
('Bubbles' means play soap bubbles with a wand or machine.)

That will come out if I've taken something he shouldn't have away from him, as if he's listing all of my annoying impositions.

He's also given to signaling the end of the conversation (as far as he's concerned) with 'OK'. 'NO! Ok.' As if his 'No' was the final word on the subject.

He also banishes things he doesn't like with 'Go 'Way! Bye-Bye! Go 'Way!'

And his newest plea 'Puzzle Time!' He likes to play the Ty.com's web page games. His Beanie Baby registered there is 'Wolfie' ('Sledder' the Alsatian). So, he'll ask 'Puzzle Time? Feed Wolfie!' when he wants to play the game. Then he plays for about 10 minutes and moves on to seeing our real live ferret with 'Loki, sleepin'. Wake up Loki!!'

Thankfully, Loki doesn't mind being woken up and loves the company.
