1. We recently spent two weeks at the beach with Jeremy's family. One night after Jeremy and his brother, Kevin, had gone back home for work, Connor and I went to eat at Panera at Destin Commons with my sister-in-law,Lee and her two girls, Harper and Evie. When we got there, Connor started pointing at a chair and saying "Mommy, Mommy." Then, he ran over to it, climbed in it, and kept saying "Mommy, Mommy." It was the exact same seat that I had sat in over a month before when we had gone to the beach with my family! One night, we went to Destin Commons and my parents and Jeremy and Connor walked around while I sat on that seat at that table and worked on my laptop for a little while. Connor and Jeremy came to sit with me for a little while and Connor remembered that it had been my chair! I am so amazed with his memory!
2. Connor knows all of his basic colors. He knew red and yellow by the time he was 15 months old. And, by 18 months, he knew all of them if I asked him to point to a particular color. And by 20 months, he could name them all (although I still need to translate some words to strangers). He knows red, yellow, black, blue, green, orange, brown, white, pink, and purple. His absolute favorite color is yellow. He wants to wear yellow. He loves anything that is yellow and points out all yellow objects, cars, signs, toys, shirts, etc. Last night when we picked him up from the nursery at church, the teacher said "He knows ALL of his colors!" She was so amazed! We are too!
3. I took Connor to see his pediatrician on Tuesday to receive Flumist (we chose this over the flushot because of the benefits after discussing it with the doctor). On the way, I kept explaining that the doctor would put something in his nose called Flumist and squirt something up there. I did not want him to be freaked out by it. So, I would ask him "Where will the doctor put the flumist?" and he would touch his nose and say "nose." So, when we got there, the doctor looked him over and then had me hold him back and he held his head. Connor just smiled and acted like the strange sensation was no big deal! The doctor actually said when we left "That was impressive!" He said that most little ones do not react that well to the sensation. Good job, Connor!
4. On Monday night at dinner, we tried to tell him that he was going to go to the doctor on Tuesday. He immediately said, "Doctor. Eyes." He remembered that three weeks ago, we had gone to the opthalmologist to check his eyes! So smart and what an amazing memory!
He is constantly amazing me. And, of course, I'm just a proud mommy! I LOVE to watch him learn and understand and relate. He is growing so much and his little brain is constantly absorbing so much. I am just amazed by how much he has grown and learned in the past 21 months. I hate for him to grow up, but I can't wait to see how much he learns over the next 21 months!
By the way, I just uploaded over 200 pictures from the past few weeks (mainly our beach trip). I'll have to sort through and find a few winners to post!
