Good weather and 20 months!! We've been having nice weather and 20 months is my new favorite age! I was sure the other 17 months (definitely not the first two months....) were my favorite, but this really is my favorite. Charlie is becoming our little buddy and is very affectionate (especially after he does something he knows he shouldn't do). With the nice weather we've been sitting on the stoop in the morning to wait for Sandra or to watch the trucks come by and unload. In the afternoon we've been working in the garden together. Neither one of us seem to be very good at gardening, but it hasn't stopped us from enjoying being outside before the mosquito invasion. He has his own shovel - or 'shobul' as he says - which he likes to use, but he has limited tolerance for getting dirty. If his hands get too dirty he puts them in my face and says 'durty, durty, durty' until I clean them off.
He has been working on his ABCs as well as his counting. He says ABC, but then skips to J. Who really needs D-G anyways? He says "uno, dos, tres" but only when he is about to throw something. bvgAnd speaking of throwing he has been working on throwing the ball upwards. He looks like he is going to throw it really high in the sky, but like his jumping, it's a whole lot of winde-up and not a lot of distance.
Here he is at a DC United game - he only made it through the tailgate before deciding it was time to go home.
Charlie and I went to see the Cherry Blossoms and while they were beautiful it is a little hard to enjoy when you are sharing a 4 foot wide path with 10,000 other people. Every year I say that I'm not coming again during the festival, but then I always make the pilgramige.
