Milestone

At dinner, Jonathan yelled really loud for his flamingo. Albert hushed him a bit on the harsh side. Albert then realized and spoke softly to him that it was not nice to yell. After a brief moment, Jonathan said:”Sorry Dad.” I was so proud of him for saying sorry. This is a milestone.

Every night as we read stories, he tells every animal and train about his blanket and his friends. A few nights ago it was his blanket and James. He tells every one James is engine #5. Yesterday it was his blanket, Fergus and sticker. The sticker’s name is Tiger.

Two nights ago he was overstimulated and didn't want to sleep so he cried a lot. Last night, he told his animal friends from the book, " Hi Owl, I'm not crying today. I'm not afraid you." and "Hi Shark, I'm not crying today. I'm not afraid of you." I pretend to be the animal in the book. He really believes the animals are talking to him. Sometimes the conversation we carry out, me being the animals/trains, and he being himself, are quite funny. He also believes what the animals/trains tell him.

At lunch yesterday he ate carrots, broccoli, tofu, fish and rice. After counting up to 5 things he ate, he raised his thumb and praised himself “顶呱呱.” I wished I could have been there to hear it.
This evening we worked on a hard puzzle. He praised me multiple times with 顶呱呱 or “good job.”

My baby is growing so fast. I wish I could record everything.
