On the way home from daycare I pointed out a convertible VW bug to Aaron. He said, "And it's roof fell off!"

After a time out he told me, "I'm naughty at you."

I told Aaron to take his dinner plate from the table to Rich in the kitchen. He said, "I can't. I'm singing a song." He treated us to a medley of 10 Little Monkeys, Hokey Pokey, and Rock-a-Bye Baby. Cute, included gestures and facial expressions.

Aaron can't!

Aaron's favorite grammatical construction:

"I can't want Elmo!" "I can't want Goldfish!"

Aaron says.....

A couple of recent favorites:
"Car-wee- air-wee-er" is car carrier
"Ca-cheese" is mac and cheese (and heaven forbid, NOT cottage cheese)
"See-sick" is music
"Doy-lion" is dandelion

Aaron's lecture

Climbing up onto a big piece of playground equipment:

"Big Owie!"
"Yes Aaron, big owie if you fall."
"Bandaid!"
"Probably lots of bandaids."
"Go doctor?"
"Most likely."
"Aaron careful?"
"Yes, please be very careful."

We have this conversation MANY times in a row while Luke is at swimming and Aaron plays.

Power, compost, and shoes

We have power!!!!!

Luke on making compost:

“To make pop tarts into soil you have to use a proper bin outside. It has to be outside because it would stink inside the house. You have to leave it and check on it every week. It turns into soil. Raisins, leaves, and other food turn into soil, but not mayonnaise ‘cause it would stink and attract animals. Rats and raccoons would get it. It takes about one week and then it’s plant food.”

Luke told Raha, “When I get agitated I call my mommy Mom and my daddy Dad.” Score one for an early language-rich environment.

Aaron is now rapidly picking up new words, and he's much more willing now to imitate words when asked to say them. Aaron's recent new words:

Toe
Shoes (choos!)
milk - he says this while simultaneously doing the sign for it
