a few things about casper

He is saying new words right and left and understands everything. We are all enjoying being able to communicate with him in this way.

He loves to get into mischief, especially if said mischief involves making a mess. He knows how to open the dishwasher and will open it, climb in and unload it (all over the kitchen floor) for me. He knows how to get into our big buckets of rice and flour and likes to play in them. Multiple times a week, I find myself sweeping up rice and/or flour. When we are outside, he goes straight for the mud and dirt.

He has a good arm and likes to throw. This is a problem at all mealtimes and when one of the older kids is in the bath (they've been hit with toys, cups, books and the occasional item from the nature table).

He has a lot of teeth and knows how to use them. He has at least 12 and at least once a day he uses them to bite Linus. (Poor Linus! He says he wants to give Casper to another family.)

He loves to cuddle and give kisses. I love that, too.

Wow, most of this post makes him sound like a wild animal....although,the book I am currently reading likens toddlers to cavemen....ahhh, so true! Phoebe, like Casper, is catching on with words right and left. It is neat to watch!
