Daley Ponderings

Noah can now unscrew and screw on lids.    He is also turning out to be an adventurous climber.  He wanted something on top of the changing table and he succeeded in getting both feet on the top of the bottom drawer.  But then he was stuck.  He also likes to step onto the stool in the bathroom to reach the water in the sink.

Jonathan and I were playing catch, but not succeeding very well with the "catch" part, so he said, "Let's play drop!"

I have a habit of calling certain generics by their brand names.  "Kleenex" is a classic example.  So one morning at breakfast, the boys were eating o-shaped cereal. (Do you wonder why I use the brand name?  What an awkward phrase.)  Then Jonathan started insisting that what he was eating was "Jeerios."  When I asked him about it, he pointed to the box and said, "see? jjuh-eerios."  It turns out that we were eating the Trader Joe's brand, which is called "Joe's Os" and he knew the title started with J!  Well, with a budding reader on my hands, I guess I have to call everything by the correct name.  Now if I accidentally call them "Cheerios" Jonathan always reminds me that it's really "Joe's Os."
