Rhys has reached the age when he says funny and/or insightful things on a daily basis. I need to carry a pen and paper with me at all times, so I can jot them down as he says them. Here are some of the gems that I can remember from the past couple of weeks:
When I came home from an all day work training and was exhausted and grouchy, he said while stroking my arm gently, "Mom, I think you need to go in your room and take a rest. You seem very angry. I think you need a nap."
When I asked him how much of his book club audio cd he'd listened to while I was gone, he replied with, "Oh, a lot." When I pressed him on exactly how much he'd heard, he said, "I think about two gallons."
Also, his vocabulary is also developing quickly lately. He often begins sentences with words like "perhaps" and says things like, "The door is ajar." I think all the audio books he's been listening to are making a big impression on him.
Speaking of audio books, he got the first of the Harry Potter books on CD for his birthday, and he's listened to portions of it every day since then. His favorite chapter of the book is the Quidditch chapter (Griffin even replies with "Quidditch" when anyone begins with "Chapter Eleven..."). Rhys has listened to that particular CD so many times that he can recite the first page or two of the chapter! It's hilarious to hear him with his version of a British accent. But his extensive knowledge about the book can be a little irriating when we read aloud. Anytime I misread anything, he knows right off the bat. "Mom, it's supposed to say __________!" But it's ok, I'm just glad he's so enthusiastic!
