Sleepies and Huggies

Drew is so good at following directions (when he wants to). He loves to pull the pillows off of the couch, so I tell him to go "sleepies" on the pillow and he does. He also gives "huggies" to his stuffed animals when I tell him to...adorable!

Giving "huggies" to his "goggie"

Drews vocabulary is growing! He has said some new words - some of which amaze me. He now says his name "Dwew" or "Dew" and Turtle; he has pronounced this almost perfectly, I couldn't believe my ears, but most of the time it comes out as "twurt-tle". I ask him to say it about 100 times a day, and he doesn't really own a lot of turtles, he just picked up on it. He also shocked me at sign and sing when the teacher was blowing bubbles and we were all using the sign for "bubbles" and saying it over and over he proclaimed "bubbles". I thought I mis-heard so I didn't really react to it, but someone else said "oh, he can say bubbles?"....why do we need signing anyway?

We are off to the benefit tonight - wish luck to Laura and JR...with a little help from our new friend Benadryl I think they will be just fine (don't worry, I don't usually drug my child..it was doctors orders).
