Greetings!

September 7, 2011

About 2 months ago, we took one of the sides of the crib down and put on a rail that David can squeeze through if he wants to get in or out. The goal was for him to assert a little independence and not necessarily have to scream ‘mommy! daddy!’ when he wakes up. That [...]

Doctor.

September 1, 2011

Today, mommy had to give David a bath because Daddy has to work from 8:30pm until after midnight. Mommy didn’t exactly rush the bath but had to tell David that he could only color in the bathtub (using his colored soap crayons) for another 10 seconds because “mommy’s head hurts.” David immediately perked up and [...]

Overheard by Daddy.

September 1, 2011

The other day, we had a hurricane in our midst. Irene came and went and thankfully there wasn’t much damage. On Monday night, the TV was on and they were talking about the “storm.” No mention of hurricane or Irene was given. All of the sudden, David shouted, “hurricane!” Daddy was watching a TV show [...]

Alphanumeric.

August 16, 2011

David is getting smarter and smarter by the day and it’s incredible to see how many strides he’s been taking as of late. I mentioned how he has an obsession with question marks and carets but he’s showing an increased interest in the alphabet and knows the following letters: E, L, M, S, and W. [...]

Drew Barrymore.

August 6, 2011

David was adorable today. When watching 50 First Dates on TV, Daddy told him that the actress was “Drew Barrymore.” David decided to say “Drew Mommymore!” But then I said “what about Drew Daddymore? That sounds more similar.” He decided to go on and say, “Drew Davidmore!” He also has great manners. He can say [...]

First Words of Morning.

August 1, 2011

David’s little wake-up chants are funny as heck. This morning, it was “mommy, where are you!” Yesterday, it was “no change diaper.” David is currently on my lap. He sees pictures of people my Facebook sidebar and points to them: “David!” (not always), “mommy!” (he usually gets this right), “that one?” (he has no idea [...]

Reflections.

July 21, 2011

Today, I was watching Cake Boss on TV. David recognizes Buddy Valastro’s face everywhere, and when he sees it, he shouts excitedly, “Cake Boss!” Yesterday, we walked to the train station and a flyer for an upcoming “performance” (what?) of Cake Boss was happening at the Tarrytown City Music Hall. David said, “Cake Boss!” He [...]

Carets.

July 17, 2011

Earlier this week, David noticed on a shirt I was wearing that said <strong>geek</strong> (which means I’m a geek) had strange characters on it. He was curious to know a little more about the “less than” and “greater than” symbols, since he recognized that they weren’t letters in the alphabet. I’m impressed that he took [...]

Conversations.

July 17, 2011

David is miles ahead of kids his age when it comes to having conversations. He understands pretty much every request and we have ongoing conversations. Today, we had one that went like this: David: “Go in car!” Me: “Where do you want the car to go?” David: “Go elevator.” Me: “What are you going to [...]
