A few things Mitchell is doing right now:
1. Every book we look at he relates to people in our family. Last night there were three dolphins, "mommy, daddy, mitchell!" Sometimes it is "Ben, Mitchell, Emily."
2. The kids are possessive to him. Throughout the day he will ask, "Where is my Annie?" If someone is missing (ie Scouts, practice, friend's house), he notices and asks where 'my ____' is.
3. When I say no, he will burst into fake crying, "I want mine daddy." The tears are cleared up about 90 seconds later when I say yes to another question.
4. When Mitchell has any impolite behaviors, we say, "Excuse you." Now, when he passes gas, he will look at someone else in the room and say, "Excuse you!" It's the funniest thing.
5. He has started asking to have friends over to play. There is a little girl in particular that they have a love/tolerate relationship. She will now accept his hugs with a, "But not too tight Mitchell!" Last time she was here, we went on a little hunt to find the neighbor's cat, traipsing through Miss Linda's really cool backyard looking for Jake. I think he wants to do that again!
Love this little guy - can't believe what a joy and a blessing he has been to our family!!!
