Kian is Two and a Half Years Old!

Kian has matured and developed so much in the past 6 months, especially in the verbal department. He talks about SO many things and isn't shy about expressing his opinion about everything! Kian uses his imagination, often telling his bear the same things we've told him before. For example, if Bear "falls down" (ie., gets thrown down on the floor by Kian for the sake of role playing), he will lovingly ask in a sympathetic tone, "Oh Bear, are you okaaaay? Did you bump your head? Ohhhhhh..." and then kiss and hug his bear. His teachers say that he is very compassionate with other children, too. There are a set of twins in his class, and when the girl pinched her brother's ear hard enough to make him cry, Kian told the girl, "That really really hurts Jesse. Please don't do that." At home, if he hears Sage cry and I'm in the other room, he will tell her reassuringly, "Sage, your mama is coming."

Somethings we'd like to remember about this stage: Kian loves to sing the ABCs and many other songs, can do his ABC puzzles upside down, enjoys watching "Superwhy" and "Black Hippo Show" (which is a Baby Einstein video called Baby Noah), loves playing "Blanket Game" and "Whoosh!" with dad, likes getting shiny stickers from the toy store and is very generous with them, and enjoys going to "Buhdonalds" (Mcdonald's) with Grandpa for chicken nuggets and fries.
