The language wave has started to roll

mizarchivistLet's see... with all the stress, it can be tough to remember what is new...
First, a picture...
My boy loves hats. I could do a montage of all the hats he's been photographed in. This is at school.
Neat tricks:
-Imaginative play: I watched him pull all the nesting bowls down this evening at his honorary grandmother's house, (put there for him to play with), then grabbed a stuffed animal and declared "nom nom nom!" as he put the bear or rabbit's face into the bowl. I asked "are you making food?" and he said "FOO!"
-words: He's pretty much game for saying most anything you ask him, including "excavator." He may not get it 100%, but he tries. Some featured new words are: help, fork, spoon, juice, Annie, uncle, bubba (referring to himself or his dad), elbow, near/far, knee (many body parts, actually), dirty, gross, grubby, hedgie (!!), milk, up, no, school, shoe, blue, Emma, Tabby, Stella (classmates/teacher), french fry, airplane ... and so on.
-school: He's sleeping well there, working on following directions, not flinging his food on the floor when he's done/bored, holding hands, starting to play with his classmates, not just parallel play. They do a lot of water play, sensory play, fine/gross motor skills. The head teacher saw how much he needs to climb and actually arranged for a proper climbing structure that he's allowed to get in and up on. I adore the head teacher, and her assistant is off on vacation til September, so we're all thrilled, as the house thinks she's a grumpy bear.
-fun with toddler: using his popsicle as a laser/lightsaber and laughing uproariously, sloshing his bath as much as possible, riding the trike my mom got him as an early bday present, Phineas and Ferb (PERRY), putting his matchbox cars in and out of the molded cardboard it came in dumping them out making them roll, lolling in bed while I drop stuffed animals on him from a height, trying to throw a tennis ball, having books read, nursing. All this stress = lots of nursing. And peekaboo is still fun. :)
I'm stunned. He'll be 2 next month.

Like all the animal are "stored" until... I guess until the kiddo comes over to play?
New words: snack. He's said both of my parent's names, but not all independent-like. Something else, it keeps running out of my head.
Oh! it just occurred to me. He's pronouncing my name the way KC's L spells it: Anny.
