The last post was getting long so in order to spare your attention span (??? what, I don't know, does that make sense? it's been a long, slow day at work) and have a post all set to go for tomorrow I stopped. Then started again only moments later.
Words. So I mentioned Knox says "car" probably several times now. We have also mananged to get banana "ba", cracker "cack-oer" by repeat only, "da-da" (maybe? probably yes), and taco by repeat and souding suspiciously like cracker. We do have "taco" recorded though so maybe I can fiure out how to share that on here. He seems to get embarrassed about repeating words and instead of saying it back to us hides his face and laughs instead.
We have a few hangers-on cats outside our house and one of them is that cute little orange kitten, Scuzzbucket ("Scuzzy") I think Knox was pictured hugging on in a recent post. Knox has taken on a new responsibility and likes to help me feed this little guy. If I say "Let's feed Scuzzy" he follows me to the cat-room (it's a second bathroom not and entire room) where I fill the cat food cup. Then he carries the cup all by himself (my favorite part is walking him walk as carefully as he can with the cup in both hands so he doesn't spill) to the front door, out onto the porch and then he dumps it into the food dish. He then spends the entire time the poor Scuzz is trying to eat taking food out of the bowl, putting it back into his cup and then dumping it out again into the bowl (and onto the cat). I have resorted to bribing him with cookies to get him back in the house without screaming.
The cute walk with a full cup is also the reason I let him carry his own bowl of Cheerios from the kitchen to the living room ottoman where he likes to eat it first thing in the morning. He does get pretty bummed when he trips on something and spills this "first breakfast". On the subject of breakfast, litsen to what this monster can put away first thing in the morning: small bowl of Cheerios, cup of almond milk, an entire banana or grapefruit, waffle or toast, and an egg. And then he often begs for more Cheerios!
Last thing for now. I am pretty sure the kid would officially move into a tent in the backyard if we let him. He absolutely loves to be outside. We spend a huge portion of every weekend in the backyard and while I have been working on Saturdays Knox and Chris have been working on the vegetable garden. We have 7 varieties of tomoato, eggplant, broccoli, bell peppers, jalapeno, carrots, rosemay, oregano, thyme, and cantaloupe. Knox loves to help water the plants and will even carry the empty watering can over to them and basically put it on top of the plants pretending to water. He also loves to swing, go down his slide, push trucks, color with chaulk, play with (and try to blow his own) bubbles, "mow", and chase the cats. Oh and splash in any bit of water, try to drink from the hose, and put dirt (frequently from ant piles) into his dump truck.
