Rain Rain Rain: June 2009
It's been raining virtually non-stop in NYC for the past few months. Stuyvesant Town resembles a Brazilian rainforest and I'm half expecting to walk out of my building and catch an anaconda sweep out of the canopy of trees and feast on all the fluffy squirrels scurrying about. Since the days are long there's too much time to be cooped up indoors. So, despite the cool, wet evenings, we get Dante outside to splash in the puddles and get soaking wet!

How about Imma?!
I picked up Dante in the morning on Wednesday yesterday and he was a little upset that Christine had left for work and kept saying Imma. So I said "hey what about me? Abba's here" and he looked at me for a sec. and said "How about Imma?!" as in I think I'll choose door number two Monty. LOL. anyway I taped our conversation.

New Word roundup February thru June
It's been a while since the last new words roundup. Thought that I might stop updating it for a few reasons.
* Dante can repeat pretty much anything you say to him now so it's hard to tell if it's his word or he's just mimicking.
* It takes a lot of vigilance to keep up to date. Some days they come so fast and furious that if I don't have some way to take notes I've missed it and it feels like I screwed up or something, but I'm getting over that.
It's still amazing when a new word comes but what's developing of course is Dante's grasp of concepts and ability to put words together. So this list is morphing into something more along the lines of how Dante uses language. I'm amazed on a daily basis by his growing abilities and understanding. His grasp of letters and numbers is also growing and tonite in the bath he'd id'd a bunch of letters and I showed him the 'E' and said now what word do we know that starts with this letter, more to myself than to him and before I could come up with one I heard him saying Elephant.
I think it's only in the last week or so that he's started to ask questions, like 'what's going beep beep?' or "What's that?" and of course stringing multiple words together four or five at a time. So here goes ;
2/ 16 9:57p Bubble bath . Plug (for a stopper)
2/ 20 4:08p Heeneh (we were looking his ball and when he found it he said here it is in hebrew) - hebrew)
Thu 3/5 Rag is being enunciated very clearly. Nanny Ashley.
3/6 7:20pm Abba shev po (Abba sit here in Hebrew). Cheetah out(Hamster was loose). Ball on roof.
3/12 4:39pm Dante says five apples just glancing at the group. Milk stuck when it wouldn't come out of bottle - the group. Milk stuck when it wouldn't come out of bottle
3/ 23 5:45pm Erev Tov and Lila Tov (Good night)
March April Dante’s learned to differentiate SUV and Minivan,
4/11 6:07pm "Leash"
4/12 3:41pm Bless you imma
4/19 6:07pm Pocket and keece (hebrew). Counted to 20 more or less on his own in the elevator
9:32pm "Please". tonite was the first time he said please w/o Any prompting. In his crib he said water please.
4/21 6:15pm “lobby” in the elevator pressing the button
4/ 22 5:23pm “rainboots” and he id’d peepee , “puddle”
5/30 “Flag” we got on the bus and he pointed to a decal on the window,sure enough it was the stars and stripes.
6/ 2 10:45am “ what's that truck?”
6/3 “What’s going beep beep”
6/.5 8pm “Oh wow, cool!!” upon seeing a toy I’d retired for a few months.
Here are pictures from our Day in Tompkins Square Park at the 2009 Dance Parade
