Cows Mooing

Hollis has his cow down PAT boy. when i show him one of his cow toys or books he knows straight up what to do. now sometimes he'll even occasionally moo without the visual cue, all i have to do is ask him "What does a cow say?" and if he's not being shy or totally distracted, he'll moo. so freakin cute.

i hate being the mommy who forces her kid to sit and learn what cows say, but he honestly seems to enjoy the attention. as long as i dont prevent him from carrying out his own agenda. so i have to keep it fun, i guess.

i was looking up videos of cows mooing on youtube and was impressed to see that there are so many videos of just roadside cows mooing. it's strange, but convenient!

then i found this one....and was literally cracking up about as loudly as i can at 3 am with a fussy teething baby asleep about 10 feet away (tiny house)



you have to watch the whole thing to get it. the man mooing at the cow is kinda funny, but his reaction when the cow gets close and starts talking to him...pretty good.


tomorrow we go to open gym, i'm hoping this is good. yesterday we went to a playdate and i drew an icing shamrock on a cookie for him, but it seems like he's a little too young for such a holiday to be relevant. when we got home i tried to show him some other animal sounds on his see n say. he's got the duck and the doggy down pretty good. still trying to get him to baaaa like a sheep. when we're done obsessing over cows, i think i'll we'll spend some time on ducks. he seems to like those, and we can go to the lake and feed the ducks there. last time i took him to feed the ducks, he was in his stroller and one of them bit his toe. i found this hilarious but my husband of course freaked out.

well i'll post how it goes tomorrow at the gymnasium. hopefully he doesn't get clobbered by too many balls.
