This was back in September, but the pictures were languishing unloved on the backup camera.

 

 

Words not pictures

I noticed that I wrote way more about Uma than I have Kieran. Second child syndrome, I guess. Let's see...

Kieran loooooooves reading. He especially loves reading a book we got from the library about trucks. He's gotten into a truck about the police and airplanes from the same author. He wants to read them over and over and over. Last night, he wanted to read "Go, Dog. Go!" He said it "Go go" or "Doe doe," and we wandered the house looking for it. Luckily, we found it. He's quite fond of the pages where two dogs have crashed their cars, and another dog's car has broken down. I just realized I sound like a crazy person.

He's been aware of hot things for some time, and he can say "haaaa" to describe them. When he thinks something is really hot, like when it's just come out of the toaster, he puts so much emphasis on the word that he sounds like he's choking.

Speaking of, Kieran likes his toast. He calls it "tote."

Oh, the other day, Aaji taught him how to say "please." He says it "peeee" and then gives a big smile.

Other things he likes? His red car that Aaji got him for his birthday. How he loves that thing. The new house will be something of a disappointment because it won't have a circuit. On the other hand, it'll have stairs.

Uma and Kieran continue to have a very sweet and close relationship. He just lights up when he sees her for the first time in the morning. That's usually after he gets home from a walk, as he's usually up around 6.30am, and Uma, who only naps on weekends now, sleeps in until around 8.

Pants optional

 

 

 

 

He'd prefer they "Stay, Dog, Stay."

9-1-1, what's your emergency?

Kieran got somehow managed to dial 911 at Aaji's house this evening. Police came by about 20 minutes later. I told them to take him into lockup for the night to scare him straight, but he flashed that charming smile and squeaked through with a warning.
