Ivan's potty humor

It all started a few months ago in the fall. Ivan woke up one morning and potty humor and potty references explored.

Suddenly, everything started being about poop and potty, more so poop.  Every song he sings, anything he talks about, any story he tells us somehow ends with a line about poop. And all that is really funny.

Apparently, this poop humor is more prevalent about boys than girls, and lasts for a few years, other moms of boys have warned me.

And it was only last April that he actually got potty trained.

Allen is walking

Allen has started walking. He makes five sure steps and then sits down. I think he'll be  fully walking within a week. He's so eager.

Two weeks ago he discovered the stairs. Then he also figured out how  to go back down.

Today, my dad said he climbed on the train table: he brought over  the matchbox car box to use as a step .

Rather ingenous I must say.

He's so much more physical than Ivan was at this age.

I mean just the fact that Allen chipped a tooth within a month of getting it sums it up.

Waterslewp

A waterslewp. Ivan made in school. He was crafting it for two days. First day it wasn't ready because he had to punch holes. He so told Andy when Andy asked whether we can take it home.
I'm impressed that he uses an actual creative thought process and understanding when he feels that something is done.

What is a waterslewpi?

"It's for the water to go up and down," he explained making big wave like motions with his hands.

This isn't the first time he's made up terms and pretend mechanical devices.

I'm  impressed. Very creative of him.
