Things to Remember

McKay's communication skills have really taken off in the last month or so. Some of my favorites of his new phrases are: Watch this, all ready, and almost done.

McKay has learned to take advantage of the moment we leave the room for a minute to get what he wants.

McKay's new favorite color seems to be purple. He always wants to use the purple bowl, eat purple grapes, and get a purple sticker after story time at the library.

Today at the park, McKay made pizzas that we pretended to eat. We'd finish one and he'd make another, telling me it wasn't ready yet. Once it was ready, he'd pretend to hand me a piece that I'd pretend to eat. I am loving the world of pretend!

McKay likes to build 'T's and Y's with his blocks.

McKay's imagination is taking off and he can find shapes and letters EVERYWHERE, from his food, to his blocks, to the clouds, etc.

Today I gave McKay a stack of books and told him he needed to sit on the couch till the timer dinged and read books. It was either that or finish his quiet time in his room, on his bed, while the roofers pounded on the roof. He read ALL the books for over an hour. And I LOVED hearing him read and talk about the books he was reading. Way to go buddy!

McKay was SO excited for my birthday today and now knows that his is in 'uuLLaey' (July).

McKay now knows what it means to 'pass gas' and will tell me each time he does.

I love when McKay sings. He usually sings songs he's made up or primary songs when he is not sleeping during nap time.

I love it when McKay says 'thank you Mama'. He says it so sincerely anytime I do something for him.
