Pooped

Pooped.

I took a couple days off work and we packed our schedule with a visit to see Trena in Bremerton, Lisa in Newcastle and my mom in Bellevue and Renton. The weather cooperated very well. Leelee, however, had other plans. His tantrums (falling on the floor) have come back and we've discovered that when he is put in a new environment with new friends it takes him a full hour to warm up. Great. This first hour is very painful, as it involves lots of crying, lots of tantruming, and possible hitting of the other child if they get too close.

These are his latest and greatest:

1) "No" in English...uses it all the time.

2) Requests for milk...still all the time.

3) Requests for vitamins ("Bitamins)"...all the time. I don't know what came over me when I decided to purchase gummy vitamins from Costco but that will be the first and last jar in this household!

4) Asks for the Hello Music CD when we are in the car. I told him the small car doesn't have Hello and the big car does, so now he says "Small car doesn't have Hello, Big car has Hello" in Chinese.

5) One time when he asked for Hello, I told him no, I was going to listen to NPR. Since then, a couple of times he has said "no Hello, listen to NPR" or will ask to listen to NPR.
