Feast after famine

Yep, no posts for weeks and weeks then allofasudden a flurry of them. This is actually a continuation of yesterdays post, thought as I am awake might as well run with it. Nolans' past few night were chaotic so I woke up nervous that I hadn't heard from him, had to go check, and for a variety of reasons am still up.

Other sayins and doings of my sweetiebug

- when 'dancin' to the Wiggles, lately, I have to get up to dance, I can't sit on the couch and sing as I sometimes used to, amd we both have to have guitars. Somewhere, Nolan has picked up some pretty flash moves, too, holding the guitar vertically -with a flourish- at the end of a "riff", or playing it behind his head, like a wee rock star. Given his good pitch, dancing skills, and love of music I really should sign him up fo the toddler music class at Yamaha, or something. (They dance and move to music, they don't drill them in scales or anything at this age!)

- at some point, aside from the egregious habit of drinking bathwater, Nolan also started to stetch out on his tummy in the tub and blow bubbles in the water. I don't know why but he always looks up so impishly I always laugh. He also cracks up when I make one of his tub puppets (usually the frog, the pig he is not so into) eat some of his foam tub "sticker" shapes. The frog says "cookies?? Cookies? Oh, yum, TRIANGLE" and gnaws on the shape with much slurping, then sighs happily, says "Thank you" (Nolan then say "Your weckome") and then Frog abruptly burps the shape right out- and Nolan squeals in glee. And, repeat. Actually, Frog didn't used to say Thank You, Nolan prompted Frog to starts that a week ago.

- When he sees a picture of a lion or bear, Nolan can do a pretty good frightening roar and growl.

Why is it that we show pictures to kids of animals they are unlikely to meet often anyway? Nolan can identify an anteater. Useful. I wonder if there are other skills we should be fostering in 2 years olds? Anyway...
Later, am going to try to sleep again!
