Sean Update (don't let him see us talking about him!)

Sean has done a very cool thing the last two nights - asked to go to bed! First with Barbara last night: she read three books and was rocking with him. He pointed at his crib so Barbara put him in it. He laid down and went to sleep. It was a near repeat with me tonight - after two books he pointed at his crib and said " 'ed?" I put him in and he was out. He seems to be wanting to sleep more at night now and less during the day.

I forgot to post that during vacation he learned how to drink out of a straw. His dad did not figure that out until he was 5 years old. If he outpaces dad at this pace he will learn differential equations before the age of 39!

He definitely understands much more than he can say. If you say "where is the fish" he will look around until he finds a fish. He attempts to follow other instructions/questions - if he is in the mood.

Today he learned, much to the chagrin of mom, the fun of playing with sticks! I was working on the flower beds and he picked up a stick and started pretending he was using a shovel. I then started to do different things with the shovel and he would copy me.

See the two new picture posts, below... CIAO!
