It doesn't take a lot of time around EJ to notice that he isn't shy about making himself known. In particular, he is fond of giving his own names to almost anything. When he does it, he leaves me with the distinct feeling that he knows exactly what he is doing. Some of his most notable terms are:
monkey book -> reading Curious George
monkey time -> watching Curious George DVD
Choo Choo bike -> riding in the bike trailer
Donkey -> Shrek
Builder -> Bob the builder (not Bob mind you, builder!)
Milk Store -> commissary

There are several others, but these are the ones that come to mind right now. I will update this list as I am reminded of the others.

I have a habit of not turning the alarm completely off when I get up in the morning. It helps to make sure that I am up and moving before I actually turn it off. It also leads to the alarm going off when I am in the shower on a somewhat regular basis.

Last week, it happened again. I was just getting out when I heard it go off. EJ heard it too. Then I hear him say " OH NO! Broken!!". He ran in the bedroom and started messing with the clock. Somehow, he figured out how to turn it off. It was so funny to see him come out of the bedroom, walking like he was 10 feet tall and bulletproof. When he saw me, he looked up with a huge smile on his face and said, "Fixed!" It was great, and funny. Gotta love him.

Since we converted EJ's crib into a toddler bed, we wake up differently now. Instead of going in his room to find him playing in his crib, he now gets up and comes into our room. This morning he climbed into bed with us, looked at me and said, "Dada up, dada up". I looked at him funny. Then he smiled really big and said, "Dada up, PLEASE". I am sure he will start coming in earlier, but it is nice to wake up to his enthusiasm.

3 weeks ago: climbed out of his crib. We promptly converted it into a toddler bed, although he was quite good at climbing out without getting hurt.

1 week ago: put his shirt on for the first time on his own.

Today: put his shoes on by himself.
