Zachary is learning to say more words now. He can say “outside” – all the time to indicate that he wants to go outside, “up”, “chong chong” – Cantonese for bugs, “apple”, and “dong dong” – Cantonese for grandpa. He has also figured out (on his own) how to climb our tall kitchen counter chair by himself. He asked me for more milk the other day and I turned to get milk out of the refridgerator and poured it into his sippy cup. By the time I put the milk back into the refridgerator, he has climbed onto the chair and sitting with his hands on the kitchen counter waiting for his milk. He climbs just about anything that can be climbed. He also flipped on his Winnie-the-Pooh car and hurt himself face down on the floor. I asked him where he hurts and he told me his nose. Now that he understands me when I ask where he hurt himself, I can comfort him wherever it hurts. when I come home from work I would ask him where did he hurt himself today and he pulls up his pants to show me new and old bruises where he fell or bumped into something. It’s kinda cute but I feel bad for our little guy getting all bruised up.
This past weekend we took Zachary on a shopping trip to Kohls. He found these toy ball and bat sets there so much that he grabbed one of each color by himself and placed it inside our shopping cart. So we know that he has learned the concept that things we want goes inside a shopping cart. As we neared the cashiers, we secretly took out all but one ball and bat set for purchasing. Luckily Zachary was so happy that we are getting this blue ball and bat set that he forgot about the other colored sets. Before heading out to our next destination, Chris decided to stop by the Central Park in Santa Clara so that Zachary can go see some birds and ducks. As we are getting out of the car, Zachary insisted on holding his new blue bat and asked to have his cap put onto his head. He normally doesn’t like to wear hats and to ask to put it on him is totally weird. Does this have anything to do with the fact that he is holding a bat and he saw on TV baseball that a bat must accompany a cap?
