22 and 2 More to Go!

Using leaves as drum sticks


Luc is loving the Fall this year. Every time we're outside he has to collect leaves. As we walk, he picks them up and hands them to us. He especially loves the red leaves. Should be very interesting when all the leaves are on the ground in a few weeks.

Luc pointed to the stop sign the other day and said "octagon". I asked him to repeat himself, and yes, that's what he was saying. Later that night, he was doing his shape puzzle with Dada, and picked up the octagon and said the same thing. Guess it was worth it to buy the full version of that Elmo Alphabet app.Thank you letter 'O'!
Letter 'O' happens to be the same letter he recognizes and plays with in the tub. The foam letters are his new favorite toy. He gets really excited when he finds the two O's. "Twooo!"

I have to get Luc on video saying "Bonne Maman" and "Bon Papa". It's too cute. And especially when he's playing with Bonne Maman and she does something wrong. He says it like: BONne MaMaaann!

He has also mastered using his utensils to eat. He even tried to get a single blueberry on the spoon to feed it to himself instead of using his fingers. I think he likes the challenge. And he drinks out of our glasses (and yes, they're glass) by himself (we're not even allowed to have a finger on the glass) with minimum spilling. When he does spill, he runs to the kitchen to get a towel and comes back to wipe up the mess.

Every child (young or old), infant, or toddler is a 'baby'.

Luc's interested in the potty we bought him and will sometimes go to sit on it when he's peeing in his diaper. He needs to get better at pulling up and down his pants over his butt with a diaper on before we really get into the training.

He's also starting to say more two words in a row. My new favorite is : "Dunno know!" as he shrugs his shoulders and looks around for whatever.

Luc also learned how to open the folding pantry door the other day. When he was successful he said: "YAY!" Guess when you're determined to get food, you'll find a way to open the door.
