No-Work Friday... Woohoo!!!
Took the day off today, cos it's XJ's last weekend before he starts work again. Yepz, he's moving on to a new job after 2 weeks of bumming around. (Oh, alright... apart from sleeping in till noon and glueing himself to the xbox, he WAS also planning the honeymoon...).
We spent a lazy day just hanging around, not doing much. And it was great to have some alone time. Had a leisurely lunch, curled up in a sofa at Coffee Bean and read for a couple of hours, caught a movie (Eight Below), then met up with my folks for dinner, before heading to Aunty Dawn's place, where we spent hours playing with Shenn.
This little tot has boundless energy! We could barely keep up with him. Barely two minutes after we arrived, Shenn was showing off that he knew his animals - "wabbee" (rabbit), "pik" (pig) and "ah-meh" (camel), ...
... decided he wanted to build a train track ("make twain twack!"),
... and demanded that we play ball with him ("...bat up!...")
He also has an amazing range of vocabulary for an 18-month old. ("beeeetle bug dead - gorgor catch, gone!").
It cracked me up when he got especially excited with his toy train. He'd point and say "up!" and "Vroommmmm..." when the train climbed up and down the inclines, wring his hands and shout "gone!" when the train ran under the table, and this was the funniest: he'd wait eagerly for it on the other side and squealed "ai!" and gave a little wiggle when the train re-emerged on the other side. We did this for a full half hour - little people don't ever seem to get bored looking at a train go round and round.
Shenn's also learning to speak in third-person - "Shenn-shenn drink..."
"shenn-shenn - more cake"
What a cutie... XJ just adores him... heh...
