Learning Stories

Here are some funny little stories that I don't want to forget but I don't have pictures for them.

It is amazing to me what things our little man picks up, for instance. I have been teaching him to sign (which by the way is the most fabulous thing, it cuts the tantrums down by like 75%) and he has done really well with single signs. But a few weeks ago he started putting signs together. For instance we were at the coffee shop around the corner playing with some friends and I was holding him because we were getting ready to go. He signed that he wanted down and I told him no, we were getting ready to go. He then grabs my face and pulls me in for a kiss and then signs "down." Very adorable and a nice try at trying to get his way!

Another one; we were sitting at the dinner table finishing dinner and lets a big fart rip. He looks at me and then Alan and laughs a big man laugh. Were he learned that I do not know, must be a boy thing. Needless to say Alan and I about fell out of our chairs laughing so hard, which I am sure only encouraged him more.

Alan takes Peter to nursery even though he is not old enough because he is such an active little one that sitting through Sunday School and Priesthood is torture for him and dad. He has learned a few things...like to steal other people's toys and if someone tries to take his toy that if he yells at them they leave him alone. So the other night he was playing with this big truck that he got for his birthday and Alan tried to start playing with him. And was promptly yelled at. Apparently not even dad is immune.

Peter also still loves bath time, so we have to be very careful as to when we say that word because if he hears it he will run straight to the bathroom door and start pounding on it and pulling at his clothes. Many tears are shed if it really is not time for his bath.
