Nick's independence and vocabulary has expanded by leaps and bounds in the last few weeks. I have learned toddlers are very resourceful and to watch what you say around them! Nick has giant toy box in our living room where most of his toys live, except the riding/push toys. A few Saturdays ago, I had Brennan in the nursery and Nick and Jeremy were in the living room. Jeremy came back to tell me he was going to get breakfast. I told him to either take Nick or close the gate in the living room so that Nick would be contained while I nursed Brennan. After I finished nursing I went into the living room to check on Nick, he was no where to be seen so I went to take a shower. About 20 minutes later Jeremy comes through the door without Nick. I immediately ask Jeremy (a little panicked) "Where's Nick?"
Nick's head pops out of the toy chest saying "Nick Nick" and pointing to his chest. He scared the beejubus out of me. Since then one of his favorite "tricks" is using his riding dinosaur to climb into his toy chest, hang out in there with all his toys or throw them out and then use his toy drum to climb back out of the chest.
The other night Nick put together his first sentence. He had entered the chest to retrieve a toy he couldn't reach and proceeded to throw EVERY toy out of the chest, including the drum he uses as a step stool. After a few moments of contemplation, Nick lifts his arms up and screams. "Help....I stuck...PLEASE"
At least he said please ;)
