Fun Times
One day for dinner I prepared a noodle dish from a toddler-friendly cookbook that was "toddler rated 10 out of 10." I also made asparagus as a side dish. Jonathan loves asparagus and helped me taste test it as I was preparing it. Then at dinner we had to tell him that he had to eat a couple... (More)

Too Many Words
Jonathan is saying new words so quickly now that it is impossible to keep track of them. Here are a few highlights from the past week.

Zoo and Other Adventures
On April 27, we went to the Zoo with Alissa, Will, Nate, and Sam. I sang to Jonathan the "We're going to the zoo" song and he repeated, "zoo, zoo, zoo!"

Italian, Oatmeal, and Dolls
Jonathan has an Italian board book that Aunt Janet brought him from Italy, which I stumble through as best I can. After I read a book, he will usually turn through the pages again himself. This time, he babbled in a more singsong voice, unlike his usual talking. I really think he was trying out... (More)

Playing with Grammy
Grammy arrived late last night so Jonathan greeted her this morning. He definitely remembered her, but still needed a little bit of warm up time. However, after playing with puzzles, books, and blocks, I'd say he's quite happy. She went upstairs to her room and Jonathan said, "Daddy?" (which I... (More)

Appreciating Fine Art
I have not been too interested in paintings or going to art museums (except I did always like to see the Tiffany glass work.) I will admit that I had my doubts about whether Jonathan would like the Van Gogh bits, simply because I had no appreciation for them myself. But I determined to show them... (More)

New Words Every Day
Jonathan said, "book" today when he went to his bookshelf. He read one of his numbers books for quite a long time. He can now say, "bye-bye" also. The occasions when he does it are when the toilet is flushing and when his turtle turns off. He may also say "umbrella" but it is not yet refined. (More)
