New Words, New Class!

I will have pictures and a super cute video soon. In the meantime, here's what's been happening in the life of Monkey. When we got back from vacation, he moved to a new room at his school. He's in Ms. Sue's room, and he says her name. It sounds curiously like "shoe," but I know it's Sue because he says it when he's on his way to school. Come to think of it, it could be "school" too! He also has learned "yellow," but it's basically "lello." And everything is "lello," including his purple fish. He's a jokester - because he knows the purple fish isn't yellow! He also says "please," which sounds like "peas." He says "fish," and has graduated to Mommy and Daddy (not just Mama and Dada). I'm sure there's more, but those are just the ones I heard this morning.

Oh, and no more tears at all when we drop him off. Little man walks into Ms. Sue's room, puts his Elmo lunch pail in the fridge and says "Bye Mommy Daddy" while he busies himself with whatever Ms. Sue has planned for them that day. Today it was coloring. Yellow. Yesterday, he pulled the little chair out from the table, sat down, and asked for "wa-wa" (water). Ms. Sue gave it to him in a cup and he drank it without spilling a drop! Then he said "Bye Mommy Daddy."

And he's growing like crazy again. He's finally moved up in shoe size to a normal-ish size 6 for an almost 2 year old. And he's very close to having outgrown his 18month clothing. 2T here we come!!
