Kids are funny, especially your own.

Discipline - Drew just put himself in "time-out" only to get my attention. He is currently standing in his little corner, peeking over at me to see if I am watching him. We don't put him in time-out much, because it doesn't seem to work for him. He thinks it's funny. Though there are times when we all need a 30-second break to take some time to breathe.

Pretend - We're slowly entering into the realm of "pretend" or "imitation" with Drew. It's going to be so much fun when he really gets the hang of it. Recently he's been pretending to go to sleep in different places - outside in the pool (the empty inflatable pool), on our bed or on the floor. He just plops down and says "Nigh-nigh" with a big smile on his face and his eyes wide open. He's also starting to pretend snore - "shoo-shoo".

This morning I was getting ready in the living room and he grabbed my keys and his diaper bag. He headed towards the door waving and saying bye-bye. Again he had a huge smile on his face knowing full well how silly he was being.

He's also started repeating things he hears at daycare. The most notable being "oh man!" But he says it in a really deep voice and elongates the man - "oh muaan!" Too cute.
