So many things...

There are so many things I want to rush to the computer to type so that I won't forget them knowing that if I wait until after Max is in bed, these cute happenings will have escaped my memory forever. And, that's exactly what's happened for many, many things.
But, this morning Max invited himself over to his friend, Sasha's house when we were playing with them at the library.
We rented the movie Happy Feet and he's been tap dancin' around the house saying, "Happy Feet, happy feet!"
He picks up so many words and phrases and movements on a moment to moment basis that it overwhelms me. I mean this morning I was explaining to him what we were going to do, and I would say one word, pause, then he'd say it, then I'd say another word, pause, and he'd copy that word. Amazing! It's so cool to see him learn so much so quickly. Then it got me to thinking about how I learn things...and, it blows me away, because I can't really figure out how I learn stuff anymore. I've been so shaped, molded, formed that I sometimes can't think outside of what's in front of me. I hope I can protect him from that for as long as possible.
He's very much in to answering, "Yes," to things right now, which is so much better than the alternative, "no."
He wanted to take Elmo into the bath with him last night and was so sad when I wouldn't let him. But instead of screaming he just hung his head and stuck out his lip and walked away.
