My dad called me at work today quite exicted to tell me that Ivan learned a new word: "puc." What does that mean? It's a polite way/baby way to say "a fart" in Croatian.
Lately, Ivan's been farting (passing gas) once a day or so, really letting it rip. It's really loud but it doesn't smell. And every time he farts, he starts laughing those serious belly laughs. It's really funny. And it's even funnier that he thinks that farts are funny, so I can't help but laugh with him.
Every time he farts, I ask him/tell him, "Ucinio si puc," which roughly translates into "you've made a fart."
Apparently, my parents do the same. So today, after the fart and the laugh that ensued, my dad asked Ivan if he made a "puc" to which Ivan replied "puc." In other words, he's learned a new word.
This farting business is reminding me that he's turning into such a boy.
A few weeks ago, he scuttled off the sofa before I managed to put a diaper on him. So by the time I got a new diaper and got a hold of him, he was standing near the radio in the living room, pressing the buttons (turning the radio off and on). He peed.
And then he started laughing, making this deep "oh, ohoh ohhohh" noise. Such a boy, I thought. The beginning of a boy fascination with bathroom humor and behavior.
Laughing at a puc is along the same bathroom lines.
That reaction to peeing must have been the first time that he was aware that he peed. He's peed before standing in the bathtub, but since he is immersed in water, he must not realize it. (He had also peed a few weeks earlier when I was trying to catch him to put a diaper on him, but I don't recall him being aware of it and having a reaction to peeing like this last time.)
