February Asherisms

Asher managed to get my stick deodorant's lid off and applied it to his armpit- on his shirt!

~

When he really wants something or wants to do something, he puts his name in front of it and pronounces it with concentration... Asher water! Asher on! (Asher wants to turn the light on). Asher Raaarrr (Asher's dinosaur).

~

He put on my gardening gloves and wandered around the backyard trying to pick things up with them.

~

He would prefer me NOT to sing... he says no, no, no and pats my leg. If he is out of reach he waves his hand at me, no no no!

~

The last few nights at bedtime, as we are reading, Asher would ask for "lalalala." I had no clue what he was talking about! He'd just say, "lalalala" over and over again until I distracted him. Today I figured out he was asking for this book, Moo Baa Laa Laa Laa.
     "A cow says MOO."
     "A sheep says BAA."
     "Three singing pigs say LA LA LA!"
     "'No, no!' you say, 'that isn't right.
     The pigs say OINK all day and night.'"
 Asher does all the animal noises (including the La La La)!

~

He definitely knows blue. If you ask him which is the blue one. he will definitely get it right. But... toddler style... since he hasn't worked out the names of the other colors, he will call them blue, too.

~

Today he asked, "Where is the blue?" It was up to us to figure out what blue thing it was. He was looking for the blue party blower thing that came in Mom's birthday flower arrangement. That blue.

New game- We each have sticks. We throw the sticks into the bush. I retrieve them. Repeat.

Asher watching bugs in the backyard: The bug crawls under a leaf, Asher says "bye bye!" The bug crawls back out, Asher is in fits of giggles and clapping.

I found Asher laying on his back in the backyard today, trying to convince the dog to do the same so he could pat his belly. Speaking of which, the dog lets Asher feed him pecans.
