We played nearly all day long today, zooming the cars around and playing Identify Everything. He is really learning his locations very well. When we arrived at the walking track, he announced "WALK!". When we stopped by to drop off dinner for Pop, he saw the house and said "Gran" and "POP!". And later, when we stopped by Becky's place to see David for a second, he yelled out his version of Grandma, and then "boat" because he loves to play on the boat in the garage.
At home tonight we played in his room again, this time cleaning it. He was not that interested in clean-up, but he did bring the two cars he'd hidden in his potty to me so that I could put them in their proper basket. We read a number of books also, with him doing most of the 'reading', pointing to everything and telling me what it was. He went into his playhouse and got his phone, brought it to me and said "phone" and "Gran". So we called Gran and he spoke two or three works to her and then said "bye bye". I think he just wanted to make sure she was still around! When I told her that she'd see Dennis on Friday, Dennis stood up and clapped his hands and yelled "YAAAAY!" a few times. The timing was priceless! She felt very loved.
He wanted David all day long, and David had lots of work to do today so didn't get to spend too much time with him. He'd reached his limit of Daddy-less time tonight, though, so he began demanding "Da-da" and pushing me away when I tried to cuddle him. To be fair, I'd gotten lots of hugs and snuggles all day long. But he was ready for Daddy. Daddy arrived home in time to kiss him goodnight, so he stopped begging me to watch a movie and went on to sleep!
