Sometimes<br \/>\n    I think it embarrasses him though, because he often colors over<br \/>\n    the writing so you can&#8217;t really read it anymore. On this page<br \/>\n    he wrote some letters and his name, and when I asked if I could<br \/>\n    hang it on the wall he said he wanted to color a picture on it<br \/>\n    too. I was afraid he was going to color his picture all over<br \/>\n    it, but luckily he didn&#8217;t! Not bad for a little guy, I think<br \/>\n    :)<\/p>\n<p>I also wanted to add a comment about<br \/>\n    his imagination. I think I&#8217;ve written about this recently, but<br \/>\n    his imagination constantly impresses and amuses me. This<br \/>\n    afternoon we played a game he made up. We put imaginary avatars<br \/>\n    on the eyes of the backhoe loader in the &#8220;I&#8217;m Dirty!&#8221; book. We<br \/>\n    went through the whole book, taking turns, picking up imaginary<br \/>\n    avatars off the floor and putting them into the book. Exciting,<br \/>\n    huh?! He&#8217;s also started naming things, such as Eve&#8217;s baby doll,<br \/>\n    now named &#8220;Chockla&#8221; (he spelled it for me, so I was sure I had<br \/>\n    it right). He also nursed the baby for awhile today, nursing on<br \/>\n    one side, burping, nursing on the other side, then changing<br \/>\n    Chockla&#8217;s diaper. Then Chockla &#8220;walked&#8221; over to play with<br \/>\n    blocks with me and Eve. He&#8217;s so funny! He also has two little<br \/>\n    koosh ball-type toys with heads and legs (koosh animals?). Alan<br \/>\n    and I have no idea where these came from (Halloween, perhaps?)<br \/>\n    but he has decided that they are Sky Turtles, one named Leona<br \/>\n    and the other has a name I can&#8217;t spell or pronounce. And to<br \/>\n    think I used to be concerned that he was so literal and had no<br \/>\n    imagination!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lex has taken the leap in to writing&#8230; his name, anyway.
