More imagination at work

Your imaginary friends world has expanded now.  Not only is there a cat, but now the cat has a mama cat and a baby cat, and you have also told us that you have a sister named Avery and a brother, also named Avery. LOL!  You now will sometimes make a comment, to which I will reply, and you tell me, "Oh, mommy, I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to my sister (or other imaginary)."  So cute.
In other news, you still love to cook with me and help me clean, but your attitude sure needs help at other times.  We're working on it, of course.
And oh how you get to laughing sometimes.  Tonight we were playing around and you grabbed my hand.  I put it over your mouth and you blew some air, which resulted in a farting noise.  This was the funniest thing ever, so, naturally, you had to do it over and over again.  You exclaimed, "I'm making toot sounds!" and giggled wildly.
Also tonight, when we read "House Mouse Friends" at bedtime, you decided to read the words in backwards order in the sentences, silly boy.  This was the first time for that move.  Love you lots and lots, crazy kiddo :)

The cat

During this past week, you went to the dentist again and I'm happy to report that it went well.  Daddy took you this time and said you reacted similarly to last time: uneasy at first, happy after you let the 'happy gas' take effect.  You chose a grape scented 'nose' this time :)
You also tried crêpes on the 2nd of Feb (la chandeleur); you'd had them quite a while before this and liked them, yet you'd forgotten, so you were hesitant, despite being slathered in Nutella (which you LOVE).
One thing I don't think I've mentioned recently is that for a while now, you like to pretend you are a cat for just a little bit nearly every day.  You will come up to us and 'meow' and even imitate how the cats like to nudge us to pet them with their heads.  Sometimes, when we ask you a question, such as, "Would you like some milk?", you will tell us something like, "Well, I don't, but the cat does." LOL.  You also like to imitate Sable (Uncle Kevin's dog) by playing fetch with a ball, but you never claim to be a dog like you do with 'the cat'.  You have quite the wonderful and active imagination :)  love you lots!
