John exploring my packed boxes:
I have a spare set of useless keys which I give to John to play with as a "special" treat (one of those toys I hide until I really want him to entertain himself). Today for the first time John tried to use the keys in the door to escape.
My sweet boy continues to surprise me with his observations. Yesterday I was driving behind a Bobcat construction vehicle. Of course, Bobcat's logo is a bobcat face which John spotted from the backseat, causing him to point and say, "meow!" Today while driving, John began pointing through the front windshield and saying "ffffffff!" (which seems to be his new sound for birds???) because he spotted two large birds swooping far in the distance at the top of some tall trees. John has also begun pointing out babies to me, whether he sees them in person, in books, on television, or simply sees their paraphernalia (he has a fascination with strollers, perhaps because he has almost never ridden in one). I am trying to discern whether John considers himself a baby or sees them as "other." The sign for POTTY and for BABY both involve a swinging motion so John's signs for each have morphed into one. I know which he means by the context in which he is "talking" to me!
