A few weeks ago, we went out to dinner to celebrate my sister's and brother-in-law's wedding anniversary. Here is how ordering food went with E:
Me: "Do you want mini corn dogs, sliders, or a grilled cheese sandwich?"
E: "I want a boy cheese sandwhich."
Me: chuckles
Little guy must have thought I said a "girl" cheese sandwich!

Conferences
We had E's parent teacher conference today. His teachers really love him and say he's such a sweet boy who listens and behaves well. They say he loves crafts, especially painting. One of the things they mentioned was how he doesn't miss anything. He lead teacher said that one day she was readying a book and E is usually a good listener and doesn't interrupt. But that day, she read the word "bored" and he asked her what it was. She explained it to him and he seemed satisfied with her answer. Then another day, she was talking to a parent about their child's ear infection. Well, E turned to her and asked what an "ear confection" was.
They have told us how he has come a long way since he started. He's much more social and is playing with his peers, which is what we wanted! He also hasn't asked if there was going to be a fire drill since returning to school from winter break. We also were told that he still needs to develop his cutting and pre writing skills, which is something we knew. (He still just likes to draw circles, but I was so happy to see him draw a tree with sidewalk chalk the other day.)
We also received his registration for next year, and I was happy to see that they are offering a 4 day/wk 4's class! I think we will be keeping him there next year!

17 months
It has really hit me that I have been very bad at taking photos of any kind of updating this blog with the great things the boys have done. So here is my attempt at catching up.
G turned 17 months old. He's really trying to communicate by using his own signs and saying parts of words. He wants to listen to or watch "The Wheels On The Bus" and other songs on the radio, tv, or our phones. He has created a sign for it by putting out his flexed right hand and rotating it down to the left. To change his diaper I have to sing a song, but that requires finding one that he likes. I will start to sing a song, but he will shake his head "no", so I have to sing a different song. This usually takes quite a few times until he hears what he wants. We've been listening to the Thomas the Tank Engine theme song a lot and he really enjoys it. He will get up and dance.
Some words that he can say are Mama, Papa, cah-cah (cracker), baba (brother), app (applesauce), cah (car, helicopter). He will also repeat sounds like "boom", the sound of a violin, puffing, and others.
Recently, he has been trying to jump and has come off the ground with both feet briefly. G also has been hiding quite a bit. He likes to find corners to hide in, or go into closets, behind doors, and even behind the rocking chair in his room. Going outside is still a favorite, so is throwing (and sometimes eating) dirt. Now when we say it's time for a bath, he runs to the bathtub and tries to climb in.
