In my house, if you record Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood for a toddler, he will want to watch episode after episode every day. Watching it at daycare will not be enough. He will ask for it as soon as he comes home. If you are the parent watching Daniel Tiger with the toddler, you will inevitably have the theme song stuck on repeat in your head. All day long. And singing this in your head all day long will make you miss your little and have you counting down the hours until you can pick him up. When you get home he will ask for Daniel Tiger and the process begins again.
August's vocabulary and ability to say near complete sentences has flourished recently! Every night when we come home he asks very politely with his big brown eyes, "I wan iger," in that sweet, slurred, missing sounds toddler way of his. Every now and then he throws in a 'please' and really, who can deny him his wishes at that point? It's extra sweet when he brings the remote, as long as he's not hitting as many buttons as possible.
There is one book that is my saving grace in the car. He has a little board book that has big machines in it. Like 8 pages of combines, tractors, and construction equipment. You would think he would get board after a while, right? Nope, it's been in my car for at least a month and it's the first thing he grabs for when he gets in. I can hear him reading the whole way to town and back home. It is looking more than rough around the edges and when it finally falls apart, I won't be able to part with this little treasure. It will get tucked in a box beside his foot prints, baptism certificate, and first shoes. One of those sweet little treasures I'll keep and give back to him, someday.
I am so excited for the upcoming holiday season! My mom found a shirt last year that is PERFECT for my child! It says something about being mom's cookie taster. That was quite literally one of his first words, and it is clear when he says 'cookie'! He loves to bake with me and wants to sit on the counter and help dump ingredients into the mixer. He knows where each grandma keeps their cookies and stands there asking politely for one until he gets it. Not that he needs any to make him sweeter!
If you give my toddler anything food, he won't forget. If you give my toddler a tractor ride, he won't forget. If you give my toddler love and attention he will give it right back!
