new baby questions

does the baby live in your belly?
is your belly his house?
does it have a roof?
is the baby happy? does he like apples?
when the baby is born and he cries, i'm going to make him laugh.

another potty story

gioel took luca to make a poop. he left luca in there alone and after a couple minutes luca called him back. when gioel got close to entering he said "wait a minute dad! pull your shirt over your nose. it really stinks in here!"

Desire to Read

Benjamin starts with a B and a J
Run is spelled 'R-N'
Asking "What does that spell?" when he sees a word
When I read to Luca I point out the words as I read them and now when he recites it back to me he is starting to point to the correct words as he "reads" sentence with correct rhythm (vs reciting phrase while pointing to just one of the words, or running finger across them too fast)

After a night with the babysitter

11:30 he wakes up to use potty and says

"Mom, when Megan was here I really missed you. I couldnt go to 'Dreamland' without you!"

Bedtime with Daddy
