Well, of course, we think cuteness abounds when it comes to Dylan. Today, he saw his Doctor’s coat hanging in the laundry room and he had to put it on. All morning, he was “doctor dy’n”, treating Hankie Mouse and “Melmo.” Also, he’s spouting all sorts of words these days — repeating much of what we say — and he’s improving his noun-verb sentence formation (“I fix it”, “I do it”, “I tired”, “I hungry”). It seems he is also really into participles (“I sittin'”, “I eatin'”, “I drummin'”, “NO CHEESIN'” aka “no more pictures!”, etc…)….And he sings! Oh, let the sunshine in…I’m a bell hear, me ring (a music together song), ashay, ashay (a mothersong tune), and so many other songs.
Of course, there are Dylan “downsides,” too. 1) when it’s time for a diaper change, he often responds with, “no. dryyyyy.”; 2) he’s been falling asleep at 10:30pm lately; 3) he doesn’t want to sit in his booster chair anymore and prefers to stand on the stepladder in the kitchen for his meals; 4) he’s going through an anti-brushing and anti-flossing phase; and 5) he often gets attached to the clothes he’s currently wearing which makes it difficult to change out of pajamas in the morning and change back into pajamas at night. All things considered, though, this ain’t too bad.
