I hate to say or see it, he bonks his little head. Jeremiah and I hate it when we see it coming and we are just a few steps too late to catch him. I always wonder how much other kids get hurt. Should we be even more careful than we already are, but then he wouldn't be free to do anything. I just hope that this is normal and that all those head bonks won't affect him in any way, shape or form.
He has now become crayon and marker crazy. The first words he says when he wakes up are always, well, "gran-pa" and then he'll say "cononing". Which means he wants a crayon, pencil, pen or marker in his hand soon. You'd better watch out if you're standing next to him
while he has a marker in hand. He scribbles on anything in sight. I'm glad he likes to color and scribble, but a lot of things around the house have become Jonas coloring pads. Even his dad's stomach has been marked.
I love how much he comunicates. He responds when I ask him stuff. "Jonas, do you want cereal?" He shakes his head no. "Do you want eggys?" He'll look at me with approval, and ask for "pan" (bread). Or he'll tell me exactly what he wants.
He asks for "aba" (water), "melk," or "appa duce" (apple juice).
Although, I think I confused him today. I told him we were going to have a snack. I cut up some watermelon and we had our snack outside. Now he thinks watermelon is called snack. He asked me for more "snack" and I handed him another piece of watermelon. I'll explain it to him later. He's so smart, I know he'll learn the correct word without much trouble.
"Fourways Farm" is Jonas' favorite
animated show about a "duck, a dog and a lazy cat, a cow and a pig who's much too fat, a great big horse and three bad rats." He likes it so much, he'll sit through the entire show. Of all the educational shows he watches, I never thought Fourways Farm would be his favorite, but what do I know, I'm just a mom. I'm already out of the cool loop and he's only a year old.
Yesterday he was trying to hang out in the bathroom while Jeremiah was trying to finish some business. I was calling him so he could let his dad have some privacy, I mentioned that fourways farm was on. He came running out of the bathroom so
fast, I could hear his little footsteps stomping the floor. I felt so bad, because I just said that to get him out and the show wasn't even on. He looked at the TV screen wondering why his farmhouse friends weren't on. I now know better than to say that again, when it's not on. The boy is getting smarter and smarter every passing day. "He's going to know more than me and I'm old," says Grandpa Jesse. "I should be teaching him, but pretty soon, he's going to be the one teaching me stuff."
