There is way too much to say about Dane this month. It seems like every day he says or does something that makes a good story. We spent our trip back from Nebraska trying to come up with a bulleted list of things we wanted to blog about that had happened over the last month. I need to be better about writing them down as they occur because it is so hard to remember all the cute things he does these days.
Danes new obsessions are Angry Birds, Diego, and Super Why. My mom got him an Angry Birds shirt and we got him a Diego shirt and he LOVES them. It is difficult to get him to take them off. He also likes woody from Toy Story but he is definitely not up there with Diego and Why. The first thing he does when he sees my mom is say "Angry Birds, Angry Birds" and then he starts lifting up her shirt to find her phone. The kid is so addicted to electronics.
A couple of cute stories:
On the way home from Nebraska Brynna was crying so Dane said "see baby see". He was trying to show her what he was doing on the ipad so she wouldnt be sad anymore. He is such a good brother. He is always looking out for her. I have to get on to him more about being to rough with her but most of the time I don't think he realizes how rough he is.
One day I was frustrated with something so I said "what the heck!" so the other day I was putting his shoes on and it didnt go on right and Dane said "what the heck!"
Out of nowhere he started calling me Tonya and he says it really well. I am trying to teach him that my name is Tonya but that he calls me mommy.
He recognizes when we are close to the house and will say "going home".
We had a stump removed in our front yard and he was bossing Jacob and our neighbor around telling them what to do. He would say "go daddy go!" as Jacob wheeled the wood chips across the street.
As I mentioned earlier Dane loves watching Super Why. It is a double edged sword because I have to fight him constantly about how much tv he can watch but the good part is that he is learning so much. He knows at least half of his alphabet by sight. Jacob and I were so blown away because we had no idea he was ready to start learning those but now that we know I have been working with him.
Eating is still a challenge for us. Dane doesn't want to eat anything these days but grilled cheese, cheese quesadilla, or junk like crackers, candy, and cookies. I tell you what this phase is getting old fast. It has been like a year since the kid regularly ate veggies or anything good for him. Anytime I offer him what we are eating he turns his nose up and says NO LIKE NO LIKE.
I make a point to tell him I love him several times a day. I tell him "I love you soooo much" and he responds with "yeah, much". Makes me smile when he says that. If I ask him "how much do you love mommy?" he says "much".
If he hurts you or if he sees you get hurt he will kiss it to make it better and if he gets hurt he asks you to kiss it.
Not only is his vocabulary getting so much better but his comprehension is really improving too. The other day I took him to an Easter egg hunt and that night he showed Jacob the craft he made and the face paint of the bunny on his face too. I think it made Jacob a little sad he couldn't go, especially if Dane is starting to realize the fun things we are doing. It was sweet listening to him tell his daddy all about it.
