What can I say about my Chase? He's just the best! There are times where he is a complete handful, but he's just such a great little boy!
So this list of updates is just going to be a little random -
He's talking back to us now, which we love because it's new, but also makes us nervous! He tells us to "Stop IT right now" when we bug him. We think his longest phrase so far is "Daddy, please stop. Am watching Toy Story One on TV". He take his movies very seriously.
Also, have I ever mentioned that the first thing Chase ever said he loved unprompted (besides mommy/daddy, of course) was donuts? We were at our nearby donut place, and as we were checking out he said "I love donuts!". Ha. So cute. The next day, he was pulling up Netflix and said "I love movies!".
Also, if we ask Chase what he wants for dinner, his first response is always Tacos. His other responses include: Donuts, Ice Cream, Cookies, Cupcakes, and Pizza.
Even though he's not scared of the dark, he insists on sleeping with the light on. We fought it for a couple of weeks, but we've just given in. He used to sleep with the overhead light on, but I bought him a lamp for his room now, so he sleeps with that on. I think it's just a power thing.
He loves to dance with me. When he hears a song on, he'll come running to me and ask me to dance. This usually involves me picking him up and bouncing and swinging him around.
He's a sleeve chewer. It drives us crazy. He will knaw on them until they are soaking wet. So gross. Can't wait til spring comes back so we can wear short sleeves again.
Speech therapy is going well. He passed all of his current goals, so they reevaluated him to get a new batch of goals. Currently we are working on blends (br-, pl-, th-, etc sounds). In some of these blends, he either says other sounds, over does it, or does it, but it doesn't quite sound right.
He's mostly gotten over me needing to carry him all over the place. There was a while after Christmas break that he wanted (more like demanded) me to carry him into school directly from the car. This was nearly impossible for me because Cooper is now in a big carseat so I have to carry Cooper in my arms too. Carrying both of them at the same time in hard, particularly in heels. I nearly took a spill one morning as I was trying to type in the security code! But luckily, Chase has gotten much better about this and he'll walk in on his own and walk all the way to his classroom and sit down without too much trouble. There are still some mornings that are rough (usually Mondays), but it's so much better!
He is officially an Angry Bird fanatic....and he can even beat a few levels! And a Netflix fanatic. He always finds the WORST cartoons!
When Chase wakes up in the morning or from a nap, he always used to just stay in his bed and yell for us to come get him. He's just now starting (although not all the time) to come out of his room on his own to come downstairs. I can't wait until he'll do this all the time in the morning. It would make my life so much easier! The only problem though is that he can't open the baby gate at the top of the stairs. I caught him one morning trying to go underneath the baby gate. He nearly took his head off doing that move!
Cooper and Chase are thisclose from being best friends. Cooper already thinks they are best friends and Chase is starting to see the potential in little Cooper (when Cooper isn't ruining his life by taking apart his puzzles, touching his toys, or trying to swipe his snacks). If we ask Chase to tickle Cooper, he'll go over and give him a little "tickle, tickle" on Cooper's chest and Cooper LOVES it. If we ask Chase to hug Cooper, he'll usually either ignore our request or go offer his cheek to Cooper.
