Well, I haven't had time to update lately since Alex got sick AGAIN! We went to play with his buddy Asher on Saturday without knowing that Asher had some sort of stomach bug. So, of course Alex, Daniel and I have all had it this week. Poor Alex, he started having tummy troubles Sunday night and as I was cleaning him up, he looked up at me sadly and said "no- no- no" in such a sweet and pitiful little voice. But now I think we are all getting better finally. Alex woke up hungry today, which is a good sign since he hadn't been eating almost all week and barely drinking anything at all!
Even though he has been feeling sick, he wants to run and play. He will just lay down on the floor every so often though to rest....poor guy.
Alex's abuelita taught him the word for more in Spanish. So, now if he wants us to push him more or if he wants more cheerios, or more book reading or more of anything he says "mas". It's so cute, he tends to leave off the 's' sound though. He has also started saying no-no when he is doing something he knows he isn't supposed to do. He will walk over to the exhaust pipe of my car ?? which he loves to stick his little hand inside!! and he'll wag his finger like you do here to say no and then says no no no. It is so cute. It's hard not to laugh, I try to be serious but it is so difficult.
Alex has also started making up his own sign for the word butterfly. We have a ton of butterflies because of the flowering bushes that divide the neighbors and our property. Well, I'll ask Alex if he sees the butterflies and he will raise his arm and wiggle his fingers. The other day he was in our room and I saw him standing by the nightstand making his sign for butterfly. I asked Daniel if there was a butterfly in our room and then I noticed a butterfly candle holder on the nightstand that Alex was looking at! Isn't he a smartie :)
