Monkey has been paying attention closely to activities in the house recently. It’s been evident in his play and conversations of late.

Example 1

While playing with his squishy lizards ( the kind you find in the toy aisle of the grocery store sometimes), he took three of them and proceeded to tell me they were a daddy, mommy, and baby lizard. Then he put the baby lizard into one of organization trays I had laying around and said that was the crib.

I watched silently as he played and was completely amazed and amused when the mommy lizard took the baby lizard out of the crib then Monkey put the baby lizard onto the mommy lizard and made sucking noises. So observant!

Example 2

Today, the husband of our daycare provider asked Monkey “What does your mommy have now?” — meaning the baby. However, what was Monkey’s response?

“Mommy has big boobs!” — guess he’s noticed their increase in size since my milk came in!
