Oh How I Love Johnny Fontaine
Johnny is a talker - imagine that. He is putting together so many words and starting to repeat a lot of what he hears from us. Here are some of my favorites:
"What is that"
"What is this"
"What happened"
"There's just so many" (typically referring to picking up pine cones)
"Listen"
"That's mine" (one of my least favorite words)
"Go outside"
"Pine cones"
"Johnny did it"
"So Pretty"
"I'm hungry"
"Apple Juice"
"I want down"
"Hungry"
"Ready Set Go"
Sings:
Itsy Bitsy Spider
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Count: 123 so far
ABCDEFG.....LMNOP (he skips a few right now, but almost has it down and can get to P)
Spanish words he says and understands a lot more:
Mas (More)
Mano (Hand)
Agua (Water)
Leche (Milk)
Hola (Hello)
Adios (Bye)
Manana (Morning)
Bato (Duck)
Gato (Cat)
Perro (Dog)
Zapato (Shoe)
Johnny loves books. The Lorax is one of his favorites right now. He actually goes and gets it and will climb in your lap for you to read it. It's awesome.
He also loves to watch clips from the movie on the tablet. Maybe you saw his version of it on Facebook. So cute!

Johnny Still Loves Elmo. J will ask to watch recorded clips of Elmo Live and especially the Christmas video.

He loves hockey. Ever since he saw Matt play, he asks about hockey. We all watched the Stanley Cup together and it was really fun. He would yell 'GO' and 'GOAL' and then want to play with his hockey sticks and show he can hit the puck too. One of his favorite hockey videos:

Johnny loves being outside. Anything outside. Playing, running, jumping..... lots of jumping.
Johnny loves to be at a playground. He will go down a big slide all by himself.
Johnny loves to help. They will do trash and recycle every Thursday with Dadda. He helps pick up his toys and still really enjoy the vacuum (which he calls yaya) and sweeping. He waters the plants and has started to pick up pine cones and put them in piles for me to pick up later. Now I'm working on picking weeds, but at times he likes to pick the flowers off. All in all, he's a very good helper.
Johnny loves to dance. He has some awesome moves. He raises the roof and shakes it all the time. One of my favorite things to do with him.
He's amazing everyday. I'm a bit more tired after running around and keeping up with him, but I wouldn't change a thing. Many more adventures to come!
