i keep making a mental list of all the things i don't want to forget about kian these days. he's almost 20 months old now and he's growing and learning new things every day.
- he still loves to play with balls. he kicks it and screams GOOOOL! sometimes grabbing his shirt like the soccer players do to celebrate a goal (his cousins taught him to do that). he sees a soccer game on the TV and he screams gol too.
- he loves to play with paul's ipad and now he thinks that any screen is a touchscreen. sometimes even books. there's a game where he has to flick a ball, so when he sees a ball in a book, he flicks it.
- he loves to read books together and can spend a good half an hour looking at books and pointing at everything so i name whatever he's pointing at.
- he has a fascination with the moon, and it's one of the few words he says all the time "noon". he looks for the moon in books and when we are drawing he asks me to draw a moon. any circular or semi circular shape is a moon to him, even the smile in smiley faces is a moon.
- he's a pretty good eater most days but somedays he's not interested in food. he loves raisins, bananas, rice, quinua...
- he can point to his nose, ears, eyes, mouth, hair, feet, hands and belly, when asked to, in both english and spanish.
- he likes to clean up after himself, when he spills his drink, he gets a rag to clean it.
- he recognizes the sound of an airplane and points to the sky when he hears it.
- he can do some animal sounds... cow, duck, rooster, monkey, elephant. he recognizes a lot of animals in pictures.
- he doesn't mind giving kisses to people (although he just puts his lips on their cheek without making any sound or he puts his cheek against their lips)
- he likes to say "knock knock" and knock on whatever is next to him, or on himself.
- he likes to brush his teeth.
- when we go to sleep i say two prayers, one in english and one in spanish, always the same two, and when i'm done i say good night and he leans over to kiss me.
