I have to write down a few of the cute things Cole says before I forget them. So here are some things so far ... I'm sure there are many more to come:
What Size are youWith new baby Maks we talk a lot about being a big boy and being a little baby. So we were asking Cole
Daddy: "Cole, are you a big boy?"
Cole: "No"
Daddy: "Are you a little baby?"
cole: "No"
Daddy: "What size are you?"
Cole: "Daddy, I'm ME sized."
You have to hand it to him, he is totally right on that one!
New YearFor Rosh Hashanah we were having dinner and we were teaching Cole to say "Happy New Year" in Hebrew. He repeated it but he kept adding "Shalom" to the end. Finally we said "Shalom means peace, hi and bye. Cole, do you know what peace means?" He responded gesturing with his pointer and thumb pressed together also "Yes. It is just a litttttle bit."
Clothes When Vadim went to Phillie for a conference he brought Cole back a Batman shirt. However, it is long sleeved and since it is summer Cole cannot wear it yet. We told Cole he can wear it when he is a little bigger. So now he goes around saying that he will wear the Batman shirt when he is bigger. He also says that he is going to go on an airplane and bring back "Dinosaur shirts for Mommy, Daddy and Baby Maks". I guess shirt gift giving is a requisite when you go on an airplane.
Sneaky BoyCole now has mastered the art of getting what he wants. Whenever he wants something from you, he says "Mommy (or whoever) let's share." Of course that means, I want some and give it to me! But when he frames it as sharing how can we say No?
