Fun with words

So this charming guy loves exclamation points. He's stuck on "they make it LOUDER", as I told him at first. What a big mistake! Now he takes every "!" as a chance to shout out the phrase as we read. So Aric and I tried to explain that exclamation marks can also make it more emphatic or forceful.

"Can you say 'em-pha-tic'?" we ask.

He tries several times, not getting it right.

"em-pha-tic," we repeat.

Eventually he shouts, "EMPHATIC!" then with a grin, he says, "I made it LOUDER!"

Aric and I just had to bust up laughing. :)

Tickle-me-Curran

Curran is a very ticklish boy, and he loves having his tummy nibbled on. Of course I always advise changing the diaper before you nibble on his belly :)

He also just loves getting his diaper changed. I don't know if he just really likes to be dry, or if he likes to be undressed. I hope it's the former, because that would make potty learning much easier!
