My family calls me Big A. (because I am big for 20 months old!) and these are my favorite things (but not necessarily Mommy or Daddy's favorite things!)

*Elmo. I have a little Elmo and Elmo also sings and counts to me on my toy.

*Turning on water faucets and the water in the bathtub.

*Getting into the bathtub in my jammies when I've turned the water on.

*Flushing the toilet.

*Climbing....everywhere. Onto chairs and then onto the dining room table. Climbing at the park on the jungle gym where only big boys are supposed to climb. Climbing on the slide. Climbing onto the couch so I can look out the window.

*Running into the street in front of our house.

*The deer that play in our backyard.

*BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Book...book...book....book... Especially "Moo, Baa, La La La" and "I Howl, I Growl" and "Hand Hand Finger Thumb" by Dr. Seuss. Also, "Love You Forever" and "Runaway Bunny" these days.

*Laughing.

*Making Mommy and Daddy laugh.

*OUTSIDE! (said with that much enthusiasm - 'side!)

*Organic applejuice.

*Boo! Birby! (Kirby) Kiiiitttttyyyy!!!!

*Standing up in my stroller when I'm not supposed to.

*Running around the circle in our house chasing Mommy or being chased by Daddy.

*Sleeping in Mommy and Daddy's bed all snuggled up with Mommy so she's about to fall off the bed.

*Sign language - I know the signs for "more," "please," and "thank you."

*My banana fetish has waned, but I still like them! I LOVE tortillas and stuff that is kinda spicey.

*Barney, much to Mommy and Daddy's chagrin.

*Bob! Bob! Bob!!! (the builder)(from the book and not TV, although I saw it on TV for the first time today!)

*Talking on Mommy and Daddy's cell phone to Aunt Kathy and Aunt Kari and Nana and Daddy Bob and Katie.

*Saying "Uh-oh!"

*Pinching someone so they'll say "Ow!" and then I can say "Ow!"

*Smiling when Mommy and Daddy tell me No! Then I shake my finger and say, "No! No!"

*Riding my plastic tricycle.

*My baby Clifford.

*Drinking agua (my word for water) while I'm in the bathtub. Mommy doesn't like me to do this.

*Steps.

*Daddy and Mommy and all my Aunties and Uncles and Grandmas and Grandpas and family that love me.

Love,
A.
