- He is still obsessed with cooking. Getting him his own kitchen did not help to get him out of mine. And now he pulls the step stool over to the drawers and takes everything out of there, too.
- He really likes to sing. He personally sings "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," "Who Stole the Cookie," and "Mr. Alligator Can't Catch Me." He often requests me to sing "Bee Song" ("I Caught a Little Baby Bumblebee"), "Happy Song" ("If You're Happy and You Know It"), "Child of God," and the "Grumpy Song" (which I made up).
- He is bilingual! Last night, after helping him with something in the bath, he looked up at me and said, "Gacias, Mom." All of those hours of Dora are really paying off!
- He know his shapes. I discovered this last night at story time, when he rattled off all twelve shapes in the book we were reading.
- His new favorite word seems to be "Don't." I hate this.
- He asks for a piece of candy almost immediately after waking up every morning. He even tried to order candy at a restaurant last night.
- Our bedtime routine has a new ritual. Instead of laying on the floor very nicely while I rub his lotion on him, he now does a running jump onto my lap, throws his arms around my neck and proclaims, "Tall Mountain!" while I quickly try to slather him up. I'm still not sure if I'm the tall mountain or if he is.
- In order to go to sleep at night, he has to has Osie (his stuffed dog, whom he named himself), Duck, Tigger, Froggy, and Mike Wazowski in his bed with him. These stuffed toys must be laying down and be covered with a blanket before I am allowed to leave.
- Every afternoon, he gives us a running dialogue of everything he both said himself and heard others say while at daycare that day.
- He loves dinosaurs. He will often "roar" at us while pretending to be a dinosaur. And he can pick out and name T-Rex and Triceratops.
- He really likes reading his stories. Most evenings, he will climb up in his rocking chair and read stories to himself for at least half an hour.
- He loves to count. He can count from 1 - 3 and from 8 - 11. I'm hoping he'll get the ones in the middle someday soon.

That's really cute he tried to order candy at a restaurant.
Wow, it's so cool the things they learn and how his personality is developing. He really knows how the world works if he's trying to order anything at a restaurant, much less candy :)
Though I had to smile at the thought of him asking for candy at a restaurant...the "Gacias" comment really made me laugh. I'm hope my little guy is this smart in 10 months. They seem worlds apart!
That is so cute to hear all those little things. It makes me think back to when my own guy was a little toddler man instead of a big old 1st grader.
