Underwear and Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Zuzu: 3.56 yrs old
Bear: 1.45 yrs old

Zuzu's very good friend, a five-year-old boy, was over for dinner. At the table, Zuzu informed him that she had new princess underwear. He replied that he had ninja turtle underwear. They both seemed to think this was an interesting and serious conversation.

When Bear wants something, he says "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" It started out as a reply to our questions--"Bear, do you want a snack?" "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" etc. But now he does it without being asked anything first. He'll stand by the kitchen counter underneath the snack basket and shout it, or stand by the sunroom door hoping to go outside. When Hubs got home from work today, Bear rushed up to him and hugged his legs, and shouted "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" Hubs understood that Bear wanted him to lift Bear upside down, which of course is a thing they do. So Hubs did ... every time he set Bear down, Bear shouted it again. "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"

Out shopping ... in the parking lot and in the store, Zuzu asked every person we passed what their name was, and then told them her name, and then said "Nice to meet you!" It made everyone happy. I suppose we should talk more about stranger danger at some point.
