Saying his name.
Pretending to be an airplane, running through the room with his hand in the air and a soft "shhhhh" leaving his lips.
Pretending to drive a garbage truck and voicing the "vroom" of the engine and the "bang bang " of the cans.
Filling in parts of nursery rhymes and songs.
Helping me count "1-2-3".
Picking up garbage and putting it in the trash can.
Reaching to hold my hand when we walk together.
Laying in bed and talking away until he falls asleep.
Climbing out of his crib and pulling the curtains open.
Trying to work the remote control, keypad, and mouse.
Helping me wash the dishes.
Holding the phone to his ear and shouting "Hello".
Calling family members and pets by name.
Bringing toys to me to show me what they are.
Walking and chanting "up up up" the hill and racing and laughing "Doooooowwwnnn".
Loving diggers, dump trucks, bang bangs, monster trucks and lifeguard trucks.
Dragging his toy dump truck from the beach to the house.
Telling us the sounds of animals and vehicles.
Knowing Daddy is a firefighter.
Loving breakfast and hating dinner.
Keeping around the signs for crackers, please, loud, more.
Using "no" in every capacity.
Answering "Where are you going?" (kitchen, park).
Answering "Who loves you?" (Mama, Dada).
Stealing our hearts everyday.
