Lump on a Log

I tried letting John watch Sesame Street again so I could get some packing done. It was actually really creepy how he sat limp in the chair for something like 15 minutes.
John has become a fiend for almonds. Two nights ago, we put shaved almonds on our green salads; we normally don't buy those but they were on sale, so we tried them. John tried an almond shaving and loved it, proceeding to eat probably the equivalent of three whole almonds (about 15 shavings). He's been eating almonds for the two days since! Also, on Easter evening he ate his entire snack pack of Teddy Grahams, given by his Grandmom in his Easter basket. Yesterday afternoon, John ate about 10 goldfish crackers and last night at dinner, we got Greek take-out and John ate the most meat ever: two pieces of lamb gyro meat, probably each the size of a domino playing piece. It's all so much fun!

Abbreviated video of John dancing:

This morning John turned on the stereo by himself. I had fed the cats and the coffee was brewing when John used baby sign to ask me to turn on some music. I said, "I'll turn on music later," because I was able to say some morning prayers. Suddenly I heard children's music playing and turned to see that John had picked up the correct one of two remote controls, pushed the "on" button, and pushed the "CD" button. I've got to think some of that was pure luck or I'm a little creeped out by how smart he was!
