Current RM obsessions: umbrellas, and his umbrella stroller, ironically enough. he doesn't know it's called an 'umbrella' stroller... but i'm sure that would be either very confusing or just fuel his passion for pushing it around everywhere. And while pushing it, he commands us all to "Watch! Watch!" his feats of strength.
Also, preforming a 'dead fall' into a pile of pillows at Oma & Pops house has become quite the fun game. He says, "Watch, watch!" and points to the pile of pillows. Then his eyes get VERY wide and he just falls straight into them without blinking.
This morning I had to bring a big golf umbrella with us in the car to return to a coworker (who kindly lent it to me for yesterday's MONSOON after work). The sight of such an INCREDIBLY LARGE umbrella was really enough to cause toddler hyperventilation. And naturally, a fit was about to ensue if he couldn't touch it and open it and play with it THAT MOMENT. In a strike of mothering genius, I convinced the 20 month old that he needed to "WATCH!" the Umbrella for me in the backseat while i drove.
This resulted in one very happy boy pointing and yelling "WATCH!" at his umbrella for the first 10 minutes of our 20 minute ride, and telling me how "FUNNY!" this little job was to him.
