Cute, and Smart, Too

Linus has completely charmed our two favorite cashiers at the grocery store. They both adore Linus to the point that when we walk into the store, one or the both of them call out to him. We got into Matt's line today because we've been in Deb's line each of the last four weeks and I didn't want him to feel left out. Linus showed off his smarts today as I quizzed him about each of the items I put on the belt.  Matt was blown away that Linus could identify seitan. Grocery shopping goes smoothly most times because Linus stays entertained and the staff are so nice.

Linus correctly counted yesterday for the first time, without any prompting from us.  He got his mittens out to wear for a walk and he counted out loud, "One. Two.  Two. Mittens."  Hooray!  He tried to count the buttons on my sweater, but only got as high as two.  He usually skips from two to four.

Linus went four days without a runny nose, but woke up with the beginning of a new cold.  The kid has had a virus since the weekend before Thanksgiving.  I'm so tired of looking at his snotty nose.

Here are Linus and Lucero having snack together last Friday. They had yogurt and cheddar bunnies.
