winter is coming

I have more words inside me that I just don't say. Sometimes they get surprised out of me.
Like when I found Ivan and Lillian jumping up and down in my crib, I ran into the room and laugh/yelled "MY BED!!!!"

I can stack blocks up to more than half my own height. I'm very concentrated about it.

I love Play Dough. I call it "Ball" or "Bo."

My B's and D's are a little mixed up. This is sometimes funny to other people, like when they are leaving and I very sweetly and cheerfully wave and say "Die!"

I'm not very patient about other people reading to me. Most times, we get about three or four pages in, and then I just want to go flip the pages by myself.

Ivan is still "Aya" or "Daya." Mommy is Mommy. Daddy is Daddy or Dada.
Oma is "Mmmah!"

I take inventory of the family all the time. Like at the dinner table, pointing "Aya. Mama. Dadda. Mommy. Aya. Dada." Or looking at pictures posted on the fridge. Or announcing when someone has come home (I go running to them, then back to the other parent at home to point behind me and yell their name again, then back to the newly-arrived parent, etc.)

I still love playing the super-bear-towel-running game with Ivan.
I love my red toy car and I want to get pushed around in it all the time.
I eat paint. Especially Mommy's watercolors, because they have little square palettes that are cookie-sized and pop out of the box. Then Ivan starts yelling. Ivan always starts yelling when I do things wrong, he yells "MO-MMaaayy!"

I love my Daddy. When he comes home, I cuddle and wrestle him and do amazing little happy-feet dances, bouncing and joyfully shouting.

I am too rough with Mommy's computer. That gets me in trouble. And I make messes with food, throwing things on the floor when I'm bored of it, or trying to carry it to the couch. Mommy doesn't like messes.

I pooped in the bath with Ivan while there were lots of bath toys and both of us in there. That made everyone very excited, there was some yelling and we had to get out and Mommy cleaned everything with funny smelly stuff, and then we got another bath.

I like stomping in deep puddles in the rain.
