More of E’s Doings

E is doing a lot of talking now. Mostly exclamations and words identifying things. “I did it!” “I found it!” “I hear airplane!” “I see it!” “Green shirt!” And my current favorite, “Somebody HEP me!”. The other day, we were listening to a cd in the van. It was an intro to a Paul Westerberg song, if I remember correctly. He heard the instrument at the beginning and said, “Guitar!!”. His daddy is so proud. 🙂

E is also in love with the neighborhood animals. He loves Poppy, the neighbor’s cat, and Dewey, a dog of another neighbor. E loves to visit Dewey during the day. Dewey usually sits atop his dog crate around the corner from our apartment. Dewey is always sedate and looks kind of overwhelmed when his owner is not around. He is a very sweet dog. The other day when E was visiting Dewey, he was interested in Dewey’s facial features and was pointing them out to Dewey and naming them, too. Then, E looked into Dewey’s eyes, patted him on the head and said, “Don’t wowwy Doggie, don’t wowwy!” Don’t worry, indeed. 2 year old boys give good advice sometimes.

One last thing about E — he thinks that my arms are very funny. And he frequently examines them. The wrinkly elbows are interesting, to be sure, but the most curious thing to him is that my arms are very spotty on the outside and not spotty on the insides. He is intruigued. And, he checks them several times a day…maybe he thinks that they will change? I think that it is interesting that he is the first boy of the four to notice all the funny things about arms. This means that he is brilliant, of course. 🙂
