Joel began using another what I call "e-r" words. They are words that are plain, ordinary words that he puts a cute "er" on the end of; such as plugger instead of plug. Joel was telling me a story that including the dinosaur towel hook in JL's bathroom, but instead of it being a plain, ordinary hook, he called it a hooker.
Joel is quite witty with words and tries to be precise as well. He will tell anyone who says differently that he is not writing, he is penciling. He is not coloring, he is markering. You color with colors. The other day he was digging in some dirt with a pair of plyers. I asked him what he was doing and he told me that he was not digging, he was plyering.
James graduated from the baby bath tub to the big tub a little over a month ago. He liked it at first, but it became quite clear early on that the ideas he had for having free reign in the bath tub were not going to be realized. For example, standing up or pulling the stopper for the shower are not allowed. Since then he has lost his love for the bath. He does enjoy it for a few minutes initially but when he has to begin excercising self-control, the enjoyment is definitely not as great. However, I believe his love for the bath will return in the near future. He is quite a good splasher, and has been from a very young age. This, I am sure, is some sort of advantage in life and must be used in his defense against his elders.
