32 Months Old

It's been so long since I wrote about Eli I think I'll just start off with his favorites.

Favorite show: He still really loves Thomas and Cat in the Hat, but he has gotten into Curious George lately. It's so cute because one of the charactors on the show is a little weiner dog named Hundley. Eli likes to walk around and wimper like Hundley, especially if he is sad about something. It's cute.

Favorite Book: The one he requests the most right now is The Digging-est Dog by Dr. Seuss. After that, it's pretty much any of the other Cat in the Hat books he has.

Favorite Game: Absolutely loves for me to run in circles with him in the livingroom. He'll ask me to put on his music and then we run and run and run.

Favorite Toy: Anything Thomas. He recently got motorized trackmaster Thomas. Yep, he's in the big leagues now :)

Favorite Song: Hmm, it's a toss up between ABC and Old MacDonald. He's really getting into farm animals again and really all animals.

Cutest Sayings: "Okay sure" "Wow, awesome" Today I overheard him saying "oh my gosh" while he was playing with his trains. He'll answer "Of course" when I ask him something. There's probably more cause I'm always cracking up when he talks but I can't think of them now.

He is speaking so well. Talks in full sentences all the time. I was most recently impressed when I was spelling some words for him the other day and without any help, he was able to read the words: cat, cow, pig, and duck. He is so good with his letters and walks around the house saying "F is for Fish" and then says the phonetic for F. He does this for almost all the letters. So proud of my little guy :) He's very good with his numbers too and can count to 13 and then all the teens kinda start to sound the same. I think he thinks he's saying different numbers, but he says the same word over and over. It's so cute.

I am planning to start potty training within the next couple weeks. He tells me when he is going pee pee (in his diaper) and I already know when he is pooping :) He is very aware and I think it's time. We'll probably stick around the house for a week or so. I'll let you know how that goes. And wish me luck.
