So you may wonder what happened to me... Lily is back, therefore- no naps by Hunter, except the 3 hour one he took the other day. So I am tired, cranky and annoyed with Hunter's nap strike. But whatever.
Here are some funny things that make me less annoyed with Hunter:
Yesterday we went to the coolest playground ever. It is in Mclean, Va- called Clemyjontri Park and is one of the only handicapped accessible playgrounds around. It was huge- with a foam ground, vibrant colors, tons of things for Hunter to play with and a carousel right in the middle of it. Awesomeness.
Hunter's response to awesomeness as he ran up and down the structures and around the playground: "Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh!" I couldn't agree more.
Today we started the work of cleaning our floors- we have a robotic vaccuum/mop that I got for Christmas last year. Jason told the robot named Scooba: "Good job, scooba!" Hunter now says: "G'job cooba!"
Another thing Hunter has learned to do recently: a new brand of manipulation. We are teaching Hunter the art of manners, among those to say please and thank you. You know how it goes- say please for what you want. Now when we ask Hunter to do something he doesn't want to do, or when he isn't being allowed to do what he wants- he'll say in this pitiful plaintive voice: "No! PleeASE!" And if we're actively attempting to stop or start his behavior- he adds: "Please! Stop Do That!" Sounds like us, only he's wrong and we're right. But he doesn't know that.
That's it for now- I have to save him from catapulting himself off the bed.
