After dinner last night Linus had us laughing with his Squirt game. He used the hose on the vacuum to squirt us. We'd squeal and act like we'd gotten wet and then he'd hand us a pretend towel. After numerous rounds of that, he added in that he was soaping us up, rinsing us off, and then drying us with a towel. As he pretend squirts he emphatically says, "Squirt! Squirt!" It sounds more like "flirt" and sometimes "furt."
He is also having fun playing with his new toys in various ways. The wood construction vehicles get to go down the plastic garage ramp, the Little People get to ride in the airplane toy, and he wore his back pack around for a while to be like the boy in the toy airplane. He is really into his new books. We got him some non-fiction about birds and bugs. Fortunately, a bug was strolling across the living room floor on Sunday and he got a good look at it. He and Matthew took it outside when they went for a walk together.
Here he is in Matthew's childhood bedroom playing with Matthew's old matchbox cars. We brought this transport truck home. (I'm finding I have to flesh out my vocabulary when it comes to vehicles.)

Billy chose a transport truck for Brandon for Christmas so now both boys have one!
Sara says: I can't see the picture on my work computer! Regardless, I am glad he is playing with cars. Billy will be pleased!
Ah, the unforseen joys of parenthood: learning the different kinds of things, just to keep up with their interests.
How fun it must be to see Linus learning new things and trying them out.
