Super Decker!
At Pammy and Cappy’s house the other night, my mommy tucked my blankie into the neck of my pajamas, so it looked like I had a cape. Without any prompting from any of the grownups in the room, I jumped up and started zooming around like I was flying! That seemed to surprise them a great deal, and they said, “Decker, you’re flying with a cape, just like Super Grover!”. I figured I better give them the full show, so I ran over the corner where all my toys are, and grabbed the little doll shaped like Grover, and ran back to display him proudly to the group. That got even further applause - go figure!
In other news, I am now attempting new and ever more daring feats - for example, I will now climb up onto the big kid potty (I have my own special Sesame Street seat that goes on top of it), and sit there all by myself - with NO CLOTHES ON AT ALL! This may not sound like much, but to see my parents rave on about what a big boy I am when I try it, it is apparently quite a big deal! I like to climb on and off, on and off, using my little stepstool. It’s fun!
And I am talking more and more and more! I can name colors (”bwuh”, “dehdo”, “puhple”) and ask for milk, and will identify vehicles for you if you are interested. Most importantly, I have learned the word, “no”. I was very sick this past week with a bad cold, and while I was laying on the couch my mommy asked me if I wanted some more juice and I told her, “no”. At first she wasn’t sure she had heard me right, as this is not a word I had ever used with my folks before! But I shook my head as I said it, so she knew that’s what I meant! I like to say “no” almost in a questioning voice, like “no? no?” - but it still means “no”, no matter the inflection! As a result, my mom and dad kept asking me questions all week to get me to say “no” - it’s a fun game! (It doesn’t always get me what I want, but it sure is helping in my communication!)
So to all of you I wish you a pleasant week, no?
