Cute things Jonathan did recently

We brought an electronic appliance and those come with cartons. This particular carton was just the right for Jonathan, so he adopted it. He was so happy with it, he wanted to have dinner in it, I refused to allow this. Jonathan must eat at the table. He still ha s a low table suited for his height to eat his dinner, even though he is slowly growing too big for it. At the end, he sat on the box, at the table and ate is dinner. For my birthday, Jonathan gave me a present, a horn – like the ones used in football fields. He loved the sound and thought I would be happy to receive the gift.

One other day Jonathan found a business card with a drawing of a pair of lips in the street…you can easily imagine what the card was advertizing, but the graphics was really nice and Jonathan liked it because the lips reminded him of a kiss. So he gave it to me as a gift informing me that “mommy, I brought you a kiss!”

Jonathan is a fan of the touch game “Angry birds”. The principle of the game is using a sling to shoot birds at various objects, depends on the version you have. Besides the application on the smart phone, Jonathan is also the proud owner of a fur Angry Bird puppet that makes laughing sounds, like in the game. One day when we were visiting friends, I found a ball shaped like an angry bird. I spend the next half hour throwing the ball at Jonathan imitating the concept of the electronic game, Jonathan had a ball trying to catch the ball bird and we had a lot of laughs. Compelled to create other versions of the game, a few days later Jonathan took a shoe lace and wrapped it around his waist, then propelled himself forward, the lace serving as a sling and Jonathan being the angry bird. The result was not anger, just a lot of laughter.

Jonathan is coping with a new baby sister (who is already six months old). He loves her and usually is very kind to her, getting the most laughs from her. He also has to try out all her things! He is once again showing an interest in various baby games, especially the beeping or music playing ones. He loves them as a toddler and now he plays with them for his own amusement and that of his little sister. Taking a bath in her little baby tub was also obligatory. One morning my husband was giving me the morning off. So he and Jonathan made breakfast by themselves. They made pancakes and then painted faces on them with chocolate syrup and candy. I was served a very cute breakfast.
