brigid | Me!

Niko does this thing–Nesko taught him– where he slaps his chest and says ME! and looks all thrilled with himself. It’s really utterly hilarious, like most things Niko does. He’s also started saying “ma too too (my train)” when holding his trains, then handing one to me and saying “mama too too” or handing one to Nesko and saying “tata too too.” He already was labeling clothing (picking dirty stuff out of the baskets I was sorting them into and saying “mama” or “tata!” depending on whose article of clothing it was… then running away with the article of dirty clothing, rubbing his face in it. CHARMING!) and shoes so I guess he’s working out ownership.

(He’s also started signing “train”… sort of. The ASL sign for it is to stroke two fingers of one hand along two fingers of the other hand… like a train going down tracks. He went from tapping two fingers together to making an O with the fingers of one hand and sticking a finger from his other hand in there, which is… pretty rude, actually.)

(ALSO: it’s barely the middle of January and Niko’s birthday is in March and I’m already planning it. Is that wrong? I think I might need to… let this go. I’m worried this is going to be become an obsession. I TEND TO OBSESS ABOUT THINGS. And I don’t mean that in a coy “lol OCD is a hilarious hip reference to make!” way, I mean… obsessed. Like for real. In an unhealthy way. THE THEME IS BLUE OK THERE WILL BE PENNANTS MADE OF FANCY PAPER AND TRAIN SHAPED COOKIES….!Ugh. I need to walk away from this.)
