So Much to Learn

Kenson has learned so much in the last 4-5 weeks.

He enjoys taking baths and loves the water. (No more crying and refusing to take his clothes off. We have to tell him to keep them on until we're ready for him.)

Kenson has a love-hate relationship with our dogs rather than just a hate filled one. (More like, it was a fear filled one.) He often holds out his hand and says "Veni Tutu!" which means "Come, puppy!" Then when they get close, he giggles and runs to one of us. It's like a constant game of "come here, come here", "get away, get away."

He is willing to try just about any kind of food and has eaten cookies, all sorts of soups, lasagna, and pizza. He tried a cheeseburger too. And he even ate an apple wedge the other day. (But of course wouldn't let me cut off the peel so he was constantly spitting out the red stuff onto his plate.)

He says at least 15-20 English words like no more, upstairs, shoes, outside, books, more, bath, eat, drink, brush teeth, cat, squirrel, puppy, baby, diaper, garbage, and downstairs. He understands a lot more English phrases like pick your toys up, wait, go in the car, put on your pajamas, watch tv, that's mama's, throw the ball, etc..

He's also started testing the waters when someone tells him no. (Usually Mama since D's at work.) He doesn't always stop when you tell him no. (Surprise, surprise!) When he first came home, the word no was enough. Now he's starting to wonder if we mean it and what the consequences will be for not listening. (Our time out spot, the stairs, have been well used this week.)
