Thanchu Mama!

You say "thanchu mama" "thanchu dada" after we give you anything. You are the most well mannered toddler in the world. And this week you started saying "peese". You will come up to me while i am aking dinner and pull on me and say "cars" so that I will come and play with you. If i don't come, you will say "peese- cars, mama!" And then I have to go.

Kristen babysat you for 5 days when we went to new york to shoot a Starbucks campaign and she said you were the most well mannered baby too- always saying thank you. sometimes you say thank you so often, i start to feel guilty. you don't have to thank me for getting you your dinner, or brining you juice- if i starved you i'd be a terrible mother- but you thank me all the same.

in the last 2 weeks you have become attached to all your nou nous. (teddy bears). There is one that Erin Corrado brought to you at the hospital when you were born that is a blue moose that you call Mook. You love him. And you love a tiny bear that is dressed in a bunny costume that we call PJ Funny Bunny. Christiana gave him to me when I was pregnant with you. Dada also says you like your Tottenham Hotspur bear Sam gave you. That bear is easy to take around with us, and last week we were driving around town and you were sitting in your car seat and said "nou nou caca>" and pointed to the bear's butt. Too funny. When you did that Dada looked at me and said "this is getting to be a lot of fun, isn't it?" And it is> The older you get the more you make me laugh and the more creative you get. (and maybe a tad more manipulative?)

You also say "no way". And if we ask you do say argh like a pirate you cross your arms and elbows across you chest, scrunch up your face and say "argh!" You also put your arm up in the air, and pull your elbow down as you say "YES!" That must be something you picked up from watching Dada watch soccer and football.

A few nights ago you and dad sat in your bedroom window and watched planes go by in the night sky for about a half hour. You loved it, Now you point out planes to us in the sky all the time. You also love trains now, and boats. Anything that is a vehicle. We have told you we are going on a boat and a plane this weekend and you are very happy and excited. We also told you you can have ice cream every day on the cruise and that was very appealing to you.
