Random Thoughts

Random things about Zane right now that I don't want to forget:

1. He just figured out how to do his animal puzzles. It just clicked...today!
2. When he plays basketball, he says, "almost" when he misses and "dunk that junk" when he hits.
3. Each morning he starts asking about what we're doing that day. He goes through the list...park? swimming? balls? gym? walk? out? elmo tv? Then, after that he sometimes starts listing people that he thinks he might see and asks about them.
4. He's starting to put real sentences together. These are some examples of what he says, "Brr, it's cold." "Take a bath." "Dada's at work." "Shut the gate." "Here ya go, Mommy." "Read a book." etc.
5. He jokes around now, like asking for his pacifier even when he knows it's in his mouth and then laughs at himself. He pretends he's asleep and snores and then wakes up and tries to scare me. He acts like he's giving me something but then tricks me and takes it back.
6. He sings...Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Patty Cake, Veggie Tales Theme, Elmos World, ABC's (it sounds like dkfjskjs ggggg eiubxcnc ppppp adfjmewoei vvvvv adjfkdj zzzzz weoivmsdfjo meeeee) He also does high pitched long notes really well. :)
7. For Veggie Tales songs when we sing them or if he hears them, he calls out which character is singing.
8. He recognizes the letter o and e and also knows the names of most the colors, but just doesn't know which color is which, so he guesses one of the colors when we ask him. His most usual guess is pink. It's hilarious.
9. Every single day he knows, says, and does new things that Zack or I never taught him. It blows my mind how much he can pick up on from who knows where.
10. He is the absolute pickiest eater ever and it's getting worse and worse. He's basically down to only eating fruit, most plain breads, cheese, yogurt, sometimes peas, and that's about it. He won't eat any meats, eggs, peanut butter, pizza, mac and cheese, hot dogs, veggies or anything else new or old. Uggh.
11. He recognizes and names Obama pretty much anywhere... TV, magazines, pictures in the store, etc. He say, "Omama."

I do have a sure fire cure for the picky eating, it's called hunger. For us it worked 100% of the time. I highly recommend it.

I think that it is great that you are writing your "random thoughts" down. It is these little things that will mean the most to you for years and years to come.
