Odds and Ends
There always seems to be items that I miss out on and don't mention, so let's add some of there here.
Pretending
In July, Sammy started pretending. He has been putting the phone (and other items) up to his ear for a long time. This, I consider to be more imitation than pretending. Not surprisingly, though, it was also with the phone that he started pretending. He picks up the phone and begins "talking" with a rhythm and tone surprisingly similar to the one that Moon uses on the phone (Korean version--he never hears me on the phone).
He also started cooking. We got him a small cooking set with an oven/range, some pots & pans, and some wooden food. Right away, he started using the items like we do when cooking. He pretended to eat the food, complete with chomping sounds. He even started to make slurping sounds with the utensils and sharing them with us.
These are a couple examples from many that are popping up every day.
Kissing
July 22 marked the beginning of the end. Sammy has begun kissing the girls....at least they are girl dolls. He hasn't continued on with this one, but we're still working on it :) Mommy gets them more often than Daddy.
Using the Toilet
In September, Moon set up a kiddie toilet for Sammy. I made a little fun of her for putting that out for a 16-month-old.
However, a couple days later (9/11/2007) I was getting Sammy ready for a bath. He was in the bathroom, naked, and he decided to sit on the potty with his reading materials (imitating Daddy, I suppose). I thought that it was a cute picture, so I grabbed my camera and snapped a picture.
Little did I know, that I had a picture of him using the toilet for the first time. He left a little puddle in it! I'm telling you. This kid is a genius...at least when it comes to bodily functions.
