- He says hugs anything he really likes, declaring 'Hug!'. A stuffed animal, us, a book, an image in a book, his boots, his sippy cup.
-He loves music and love to sing along with his favorite songs. But the funniest has to be the classical music pieces that he likes. I would get him to sit still for face wiping and hair combing by 'humming' the overture to the Barber of Seville. (If you don't recognize the name, trust me, you know it.) My humming was like, 'Do-do-do'. Now, Alex demands that piece whenever we do any kind of grooming of him by stopping us and saying 'Do-do-do-do-do!' We need to hum the Barber of Seville for him.
- Whenever he's really hungry, he'll ASK for me to cook dinner. 'Din-din-din! Mama. Din-din-din.'
- He rushes through books just so he can close the cover and say "Eh End." ("The End")
-He'll request other songs from me by singing the first word like "Heaaaad" for "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" or "Rowrowrow" for Row, Row, Row Your Boat. He'll keep on doing it until I start singing the song.
-He FINALLY asks for help on a toy that has a difficulty to it. "He-ep. Mama. He-ep". He used to get frustrated and cry.
- He likes to test our knowledge of pictures in his picture book. Now he points to items he already knows and asks US "What's this?" He'll keep on asking until we answer. When he wants to know what a new picture is, he just points to it without saying anything.
- I have no idea where he got this from. If he's done singing or dancing to some music, he'll stop and say "Thank you, thank you!" while taking a bow. I guess we're supposed to be applauding.
Soooo many more. He cracks me up every day.
