Despite being in horrible pain because of his 2yr molars coming in, Mikey still managed to do some cute stuff this afternoon. While at home he went over to his little activity table and started playing with that. Turned to his daddy and yelled “YAY!” while clapping. I actually recognized that from something I saw at daycare last week. I went to pick Mikey up in the afternoon, I usually pick him up during snack time. They have all of the kids in groups and their teacher feeds them their snacks. Well one group was waiting on their snack and once they saw their teacher come close with the food they all started clapping and saying “YAY!”. I cracked up because it was so freaking cute. So that’s apparently where he picked that up. I guess they do this for other things. I caught that on video and will upload that soon to share.

The other day I learned that he can identify Mickey Mouse. Granted it doesn’t come out as Mickey Mouse and sounds more like Moe Mow but tonight I heard Mick Mow. So he’s getting close. While in his bath (he has an elmo bath mat) I asked him to show me where Elmo’s ball is, where the fish was, and of course where Elmo was. And he totally surprised me and said Melmo. Now if he would just remove that first M he’d have said Elmo. But he’s close. I totally didn’t expect him to say Elmo, but he did. It’s just absolutely amazing to see him blossom right before my eyes.
