I could write a whole post on John Turner's developing language ability! At 2 1/2 he has an amazing knowledge of words and vocabulary! He amazes us everyday with the things he says! Here are a few things he has said or says that I want to remember:
JT: Mommy, I go to time-out at school today
Me: Oh, no! What did you do?
JT: Ha Ha! I just kidding, Mommy! That is so funny!!
JT: Where are we going?
Us: To "any place we may be going"
JT: And then?
When he does something we are proud of we always tell him what a big boy he is. Now, if we do something he things is good he will say, "Mommy, you such a big girl!".
JT is great with directions. If we have taken him there once he can always tell us how to get back there!
His memory is also very amazing! He never forgets anything!
He loves the color blue! If he picks out a drink, snocone, toy ect.. it has to be blue!
He is still doing great with the tee-tee on the potty. The poo-poo on the potty still not so great! We are still working on that!
He is doing great with his big boy bed! He is getting up earlier in the mornings now which Mommy is not a fan of!
One of his favorite times of the day is when Daddy comes home! First thing he wants to do is "ride the bull". Carlton puts him on his belly and pretends he is riding a bull! He LOVES it!
He is already a gentleman. He holds the door for people everywhere we go. He will hold it open and say come on in/out.
He loves to play "tickle monster".
He can sing quite a number of songs. His favorite right now is "Jesus Loves the Little Children".
There are probably a million other things I could think of to write about him at this age! We love this sweet thing!
