Naomi's Super Day and Why Alex Watches Too Much TV

Naomi had an amazingly productive day yesterday. First, she said "more" all by herself, with no coaching from Mom. So, of course, I had to give her more. Unfortunately, what she wanted more of was cookies, so she had cookies for snack. At least she's talking. Second, she stood up on her feet all by herself, with no coaching from Mom, TWICE! This is big news at our house. Our physical therapist will be very impressed. In other news, Alex has developed the movie-quoting skills of his parents. His favorite movie to quote is Home Alone. He walks around saying, "You better come out and pound me." He can also quote Incredibles, A Christmas Story, Cars, Bolt and several movie previews from his DVDs. The fact that he watches too much TV was also brought to my attention in the car this week. As we were driving to the mall, Naomi began pointing out the window. Alex thought that she was pointing to the mountains, which he calls the snowy mountains (from Dora the Explorer). So I said, "Alex, those are called the Rocky Mountains." He responded, very excitedly, "Like Rocky Mountain PBS?!" (which is our local PBS station). It took several tries to convince him that the TV station was named for the mountains and not the other way around. PS- We are all ready for Christmas and have already been to one Christmas party and hosted another! Merry Christmas!
