Calvin's biggest interest this month has been books. He will walk around the house holding a book until someone sits down and reads it to him on repeat for the next 10-15 minutes. If you try to get a different book, he will whine and point to the one you've already read five times. His favorites include: "Brown Bear, Brown Bear," "Moo, Baa, La, La, La," and "8 Silly Monkeys." He does like others, but these are the favorites. He does not like it if Caleb takes the book and "reads" it to him instead.
We've finally had to completely ditch the morning nap, which is hard when he will stand by his crib signing please and saying "nigh-night." The problem is that even if his morning nap is over by 9:30 and was only 40 minutes, he still will not take an afternoon nap and this led to some really crabby afternoons/evenings. His afternoon nap is a pretty consistent 1.5-2 hours, so he's getting lots of good sleep. For some reason taking away his morning nap has meant he's up earlier in the morning (6:15-6:30), so hopefully he goes back to his normal 7:00-7:30 wake up time. We usually let the boys stay up a bit longer in the summer since it's so beautiful out, so I'd like to push bedtime back to 8:00ish again. It has gotten closer to 7:30 this winter.
Calvin has gotten so good on the scooter that we've had to enforce a helmet wearing policy. He not only rides the scooter, but he likes to show off and do tricks while riding it. He was not happy about having to wear a helmet, but after 35 minutes of crying each time I told him no scooter without it, he finally gave in, got the helmet and rode it. Hopefully he doesn't put up a fight each day over it.
And as a welcome to his 16th month of life, Calvin fell pretty hard today and chipped his tooth pretty good. He's got a bloody/fat lip and part of his tooth missing. He seems totally fine, but we will have it looked at soon.
