I’ve been sitting here almost an hour trying to write this and I keep getting sidetracked, or thinking it sounds stupid, so I keep starting over. I think I’ll just write a paragraph of the cute things you’ve done today, and call it a night.

This morning I was in the bathroom doing my hair, and the safety gate was closed (nope I sure haven’t even attempted potty training yet). You came to the gate with this concerned look and said “Baby sad.” I opened the gate up and scooped you up. You kind of whimpered a little and buried your face in my neck. I hugged you tight and asked why you were sad, but didn’t get any response. A few seconds later, you poked your bottom lip out as far as possible, and wrinkled your eye brows down and said “Mad.” I just burst out laughing. And so did you. “Funny baby, Mommy laughing,” you replied. So I think you are experimenting with vocalizing your emotions…praise the dear Lord, a step in the right direction…which is away from the tantrums.

You are a Diego fan, as some may know, we went to see the live shown last month. Each show has the same basic set up, an Diego hears an animal calling out for help, he gets his camera, finds where the animal is, then goes to help it. When the animal calls out for help, it does so in english and spanish. This morning you were playing with some toys and I heard you talking to them saying “Help me, Ayúdeme, help me, ayúdeme.” Spanish for help me. How cute is that?! Okay I found it amusing. Anyway, that’s all.
