Thank You

Beckett is getting so polite. He says "Thank you Mommy" all the time. It's nice. I feel like he appreciates some of the millions of things I do for him.

Watch Me

Beckett has reached the stage where he wants me to sit and watch him play. He keeps dragging me back to the couch saying "sit chair" or "sit in thinking chair." He calls our chairs thinking chairs thanks to Blue's Clues.

Beckett Singing Part II

Beckett has suddenly grasped the idea of singing and can sing a lot of songs:

The Sunbeam Song
Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes
The Snowman Song
Popcorn Popping
A Beach Song
Jingle Bells

It's dang cute.

"Nice ta Mom" Part II

"Nice ta Mom" has become nice to lots of things. In addition to saying that he should be "Nice to Mom" and "Nice to Daddy," Beckett also has said that he should be "Nice to the flag," and "Nice to the car."

Beckett Singing

Beckett is in the basement by himself and we can hear him singing/ shouting "a SUNBEAM. a SUNBEAM!" Earlier today at the Kohl's he saw a snowman and started singing "once their was a snowman." He also sings the ABCs (Super Why style).

New Year's Eve

This New Year's Eve we went to Columbia's Symphony of Lights. Every New Year's Eve they open the road for foot traffic and then have a fireworks show at 7pm. It was one of the best New Year's I've ever had. The family friendly activity truly was family friendly. Beckett liked walking by all the lights, especially the snowflakes. And he loved the fireworks. He was laughing and smiling, stamping his feet, pointing, and saying "boom."

"Try Again"

I love how Beckett constantly uses the phrase "try again." He uses it for any minor mishap and most major ones too. Basically he is never frustrated anymore because he just tells himself to "try again." It's also really funny when he tells mom and dad to "try again." (For example, if we are having trouble getting his shoes on properly.)
