Penny

Hi! *scream* Hi! *scream* Hi! *scream*

walks up to me and screams.

I say, " What do you need? "

Um, yes, but it was a good thought.

It did eventually stop. I still don't know what he wanted but he settled

for his new Dora video and lots of candy.

Thanks.

Sara,

This sounded like it was some kind of game to Mikey. Jake has done this

kind of thing to me at times too. I usually just repeat back to him

whatever it is that he keeps doing over and over again and it becomes

some sort of game and he laughs hysterically. Last week it was " No

cwazyhead! " (crazy head) I don't have any idea where he picked that

word up and it took me a while to figure out just what he was saying but

as soon as I repeated " NO CRAZYHEAD! " back to him he just cracked up

like it was the funniest joke on earth. I think it must have been from

some video or TV show. I may have to start monitoring that more

closely. (bad Momma!!!) A couple of months ago he started screaming

for no apparent reason at random times and I finally figured out it was

coming from the " Monsters, Inc. " movie. Thank goodness he got over that

one. It may be that was watching some show where someone comes

up and says " Hi " and then another person screams for some reason??

Last night Jake started with the " No! " and wanting me to say " Yes! " back

to him and then he would switch and say " Yes! " so I would switch the

" No! " , etc. etc. I thought that one was pretty good for him to try out

the " opposites " thing.

Speaking of TV... last night we were at a small dinner party at a

friends house and I walked in a room to see Jake watching TV with

others. He never watches anything other than cartoon TV, has never been

interested in anything live-action. Well, he was enraptured with .....

THE MOVIE JAWS!!! And it was just at the end when Jaws eats that boat

captain and then shortly after Jaws gets blown up by the policeman when

he shoots the O2 tank in Jaws mouth. I tried to get Jake not to watch

it but he was insistent and he watched it all before I could barely

register what he was seeing! I have no idea how it will affect him. It

was really gruesome, worse than I even remember!!!

I'm not used to having to control what he takes in because he has never

been at an age where things would " register " you know? I think

censorship is about to become an issue in our house....

Hi! *scream* Hi! *scream* Hi! *scream*

walks up to me and screams.

I say, " What do you need? "

He says, " Hi! " very cheerfully, and waves. Then he holds up his arms for me

to pick him up. I do.

He screams in my face and twists to get down.

I put him down. He screams even louder. I say, " What?? "

He says, " Hi! " very cheerfully, and waves. Then he holds up his arms for me
