Month: September 2006

Everyday Sean says a new word that I didn’t know that he knew. Today’s word is “plenty”. While at my mom’s restaurant today, we were all eating some bread. My mom had to put her bread down to wait on a customer, so she put it on Sean’s napkin. He thought she was giving it to him and he said, “Thanks, I have plenty”. Then today at Costco, I tried to keep Sean occupied by having him count the shopping carts. He said, “1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10, there’s plenty, mommy!” I cracked up laughing.

My mother has taken Sean to Chuck E Cheese several times in the past few months. He’s now become addicted to going there. My mom was gone to the Philippines for a month and the first thing he said to her when she got back was, “Go to Chuck E. Cheese, Lola”. (Lola means “grandma” in filipino). Well, today, he got his wish. My mom took off a few hours to take him to CEC, and I’m sure he’ll be returned along with all kinds of small toys that will be broken within the first few days of playing with them.

I don’t know if all 2 year olds do this (probably not), but Sean has this habit of touching people out of nowhere. Sometimes it’s a pat on the leg, sometimes on the bottom, sometimes just a poke in the arm, then he walks away and doesn’t say anything to them, just smiles. I’ve tried to tell him that this is inappropriate behavior, but that doesn’t stop him. Well, today while at Jiffy Lube, Sean started touching the lady sitting next to me on the leg. She was wearing shorts, and he just rant his hand up and down her leg once. The lady looked at him and said “They’re hairy, huh?”… Indeed, her bare legs were hairy. I was so embarrassed.
