Ethan Speak and goodness does he

Right, let's see... I've been compiling a list of new things Ethan has been saying but it's getting to be very hard as it seems as if he comes up with something new each day. He is also remembering things that have happened days or weeks ago which is incredible. So here are some - not sure if i've repeated them so bear with me...

- I NEEED it mom/dad. (He says mom when something is important or urgent or its usually mommy/daddy. Also followed by "Give back"

- He can sing or join in with actions at certain points to a variety of songs, Hokey Pokey, See Saw up and Down, Twinkle Twinkle, Wheels on the bus, Row Row Row your Boat,, Eensy Weensy Spider, 5 little monkeys swinging from a tree...

- Jumps on my back shouting "giddy up, giddy up!"

- "Not todaaaay...wahhh".. when he is upset over something or "NO LIKE IT!" accompanied by throwing whatever may be in his hand at high speed- we are rectifying this as he is also hitting us. Not good! Now if you ask hime "Why don't we hit?" He will say," It's owwee, don't like hit, No!" and holds up one finger and pushes it out towards you.

- He will announce which kids shows are on the computer as in Mommy!Night Garden on! or "Wanna watch Green Balloon Club", I watch {show} please"

- I cahn't see you-( yup british accent )while he is hiding behind something. Same for Tomato- tomah to... tsk tsk lol

- "Daddy/Mommy COME HERE!" , "C'mon Mommy/Daddy".

- "Where daddy gone?" "Where my (object) gone?" "I did it mom/dad. LOOK! or "I'm doing it" (As in putting on shoes or making something or other.)

- While looking at photos or people "Who's dat?" People over there. (Even if its only a girl or boy walking on the road"

- By far his favorite " Whas dat noise?"

- He can recognize destinations "Our house overdare, dat mommy's exercise place, mamazee and papa zee house over here" and "Where our house at?"

- When he hears the ice cream truck go by..."ICE CREAM TRUCK MOMMY! ICE CREAM TRUCK! To which I reply, we've missed it. Look it's gone (as we look out the window) to which he says "Catch Ice cream truck / go get it" as if i'm a superhero or something - ahahah.

- Good morning everybody.

- Count to ten in English and we are working on the Chinese numbers but so far so good.

- "Be careful, mommy/daddy."

- "Help. I need help mom/dad."

- Mom/Dad, I'm a good boy (He announces this as if we didn't know...hahaah)

- He is fiercely independant and will not let us help him to eat his food "No! I do it!" and then will ask after every handful of food "Oh no, my hands dirty" and won't eat again until he has a wet wipe to clean his hands off. His juice has a special place on his eating tray and sometimes he will look at us and announce "Juice go there" and he places it just so. Rarely is there a "Mommy/Daddy do it" Usually if he can't reach.. to which he says "I cahn't reach dat"

-"Read!" "Read book please" as in read a story.

"That one, I like that one.

"Oh no!!!"

"ticko ticko ticko" Tickle sound with tickling action

"guduh, guduh, guduh--ooh ooh"- sound a train makes.

"I sit.. I sit daddy chair"

Ethan skills:

- Every type of ball is usually a basketball. He can drop-kick a ball which at two is pretty good and can travel with it, kicking it forward.

- Hokey pokey actions- sooo cute! he twirls around until he can't walk straight.

- Blows bubbles from a bubble wand

- Climb up bars/ladders at playgrondu but not come down...

Will add more later as brain has stopped working...lol
