So Daniel is really becoming quite funny. This last week he has been working on his verbal skills. At last count he can say about 50 words on his own and then he can say many more with lots of prompting. Sometimes he knows what word comes next in our promptings and he shouts those ones out with gusto. Colors are his new learning this week and so far most everything is blue, a few things are black and fewer things are red. As to not confuse him we try to mainly ask him what color blue things are and then we applaud his correct answer.
Cars are also a big ticket item at the Webb house. He loves trucks, cars, and especially lawn mowers. Wednesday is my least favorite day of the week since the landscape guys come and do maintenance that day. The lawn mowers are here from 8am to 3pm since our apartment complex is large and Daniel insists that we watch them, the whole time. We set a compromise to we can watch them if they are near our building but he just is so obsessed with lawn mowers it is unbelievable.
So the funny story of the day. I get the fisher-price catalogs in the mail because Daniel loves looking at all the kids playing with toys. I am so glad that he hasn't realized that he could nag for those toys so while he is still in this blissful state we can get the catalog. Today we were glancing at it and one of the toys they have for Halloween is a little people street and kids trick or treating with costumes on. Daniel loves dragon costumes and we have since bought him one, well technically it is a crocodile costume but he thinks it is a dragon so we figured it was just fine for this year. While looking at one of the little people who happens to be dressed in a dragon he gets super excited and runs into his room. He comes back with his costume and begs to put it on. Then he asked me if he could look in the mirror, so we head tot he bathroom. He looks in the mirror at himself and yells "me!" It was awesome, not just that he has learned who "me" is but that he loves his dragon costume that much. He continued to wear it for about 1/2 hour and spent almost the whole time in front of the mirror admiring himself. I just love this little things he does to make the day fun. Next time he runs for his room, I am running for the camera.
