You can't see it but it's there

 


There's one point of his first second-year molar poking through right behind that big premolar there. It was tough to coordinate the flashlight, the camera, and coaxing his mouth open all at the same time.

Not gonna let me try to take a better picture of his tooth

Closing in on 2

Kieran is obsessed with the notion of being "almost done." He points out whenever anyone is nearly done their plate. He wants to be "almost done" so badly that he says he is when he's just had a couple of bites. In Kieranian, "almost done" is ponounced "obbiton."

New favorite books: "Pat the Bunny;" "Trucks and Diggers;" and "Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb." He can even say "Han han finguh tum."

This boy likes "pinkle" on his ice cream. For breakfast he enjoys "Life silly," and he likes some "keppatch" with his eggs.

Sometimes things are "too loud," other times they're "too quiet." Sometimes just by a centibel. When people are laughing, he likes to remark on it: "laughing." It makes him happy.

He's sort of starting to understand pronouns. He doesn't quite get the difference between "my" and "your." When he wants a turn, for example, he'll say "your turn."

Here's one he almost picked up from Uma. When you tell him something, as often as not he'll ask "why?" We figure that, at least initially, he didn't know what that meant; he just heard Uma doing it. He must have figured that's just what you're supposed to say when someone tells you something.

Kieran's favorite bib has Cookie Monster on it. One time he really wanted it, but I almost didn't figure out what he was saying. Come on, without the clue, would you have known what "coomonsha" meant?

He understands now that you can see pictures on the back of the camera. When I get out the camera, even before I've taken a picture, he'll demand to "shee it." Then he'll "oooohhhh" appreciatively. Another thing he picked up from Uma. Actually, maybe he got that from all of us. We appreciate photos around here. You're welcome.

Uma has been training Kieran in how to speak politely. When you do him a favor, he'll very nicely say "thankoo welcome."

Yet more big sister influence. When I tell him it's time to pick up the bath toys because bath is over, he'll look me right in the eye and, in a resigned tone of voice, say "Oh man...."

A successful morning

We saw:

  • 3 police cars

  • 2 ambulances

  • 1 fire truck

  • 1 fast, long train

  • 1 raccoon


There was also sitting on lawn mowers, riding in a car cart, and collecting paint samples.

Beauty Tip of the Day

Forget collagen injections, if you want bee-stung lips, hold an angry almost-two-year-old on your lap. Kieran head-butted me in the mouth this afternoon. For the first two hours afterward, I looked kind of freaky with an enormous fat lip. Now, over five hours later, the swelling has subsided considerably and my lips are full and luscious. There is some discomfort where my teeth cut my lower lip, but I don't imagine injections are painless either.
