Ugh

Alex just pooped in the tub. Not as gross as I feared it would be, but still gross. Apparently he had grapes and tomatoes yesterday.

Alex’s Little Addiction…

So I’ve blogged about how Alex is enamoured with Dora… if possible, please don’t mention Dora, backpack, Boots or other characters or items from the show. If they come up in normal conversation, so be it. But if he latches onto one of the trigger words, we’re in for anywhere from a minute to an hour of him being unhappy.

Signs

Alex is addicted to Dora the Explorer. So much so that he made up a sign (hand splayed open, palm to mouth) for Boots, one of the characters on the show. He usually says “Booo” while making the sign. As much as I didn’t really want him watching this much TV… eh… unfortunately life happens. As previously mentioned, he says “backpack” when he wants to watch Dora, since she has a magic backpack (though, now he’ll frequently say / sign for Boots also). Being the kind of parents that we are (OK, I shouldn’t slander Dina, being the kind of parent I am), I taught Alex to sign “backpack” as slapping the inside of his left elbow with his right hand.

Payback

I remember my parents telling me not to listen to loud music since it’d make me go deaf. I now realize they weren’t necessarily protecting my hearing for my own benefit. They just wanted to make sure that my son’s crying got the chance to make me go deaf instead of some random rock band.
