He loves snowmen. His favorite movie – animated cartoon – right now is THE SNOWMAN in which a snowman comes to life and has adventures with a young boy. He has a little fuzzy snowman plush toy he loves.
This morning we awoke to the first heavy snow and went out to play with him. I had to head off for work but Tia made a little snowman with him, with a small tin bucket for a hat. After the snowman was completed, he stood back and stared at the snowman. Waiting for the snowman to come to life.
Recently (a week or so before his utterance of “I’m happy“), on a morning when I took a nap, as I got out of bed to close the bedroom door, he was standing there at the other side of the door, and he said “Lighs-out. Go bed. Night-night.” – and he closed the door. Later when I went to open the door he was still standing near it outside the room, and he said “No, no, night-night” and came and closed it again.
In reference to him putting Daddy to bed, I believe it was in the evening. And he MIGHT have said, “lights OFF” but not “lights OUT” He doesn’t know that terminology. Also, he definitely said, “Sweet Dreams.” a couple of times and it was only a few MOMENTS later that daddy tried to come back out of the room.
[I’m glad you remember those details Tia. I think we can just re-write the entry. :p -Alex]
