"Watch this!"

Hendrix decided to try walking through the grass. He was heavily clothed, so I wasn't very aggressive in pulling him out. Though he is learning he doesn't want to grab the grass.
Currently my favorite word of Hendrix's is "Delicious!"
When checking out his masterpieces, he will sternly say "Don't touch it!" He'll also demand you "Wait. Wait." at times. 
He counts into the teens and other decade chunks
His favorite shapes are stars, circles, and hearts...
He enjoys naming the main colors
He plays make believe and enjoys dressing up
He tattles and pouts
He "thinks" by tapping his head and holding up his finger when his thought is complete "Ah-ha!"
He sings ABCs, Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars, Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, Wheels on the Bus, Johnny Johnny
He studies things as "tall" and "heavy"
He's following themed traditions with great engagement
He enjoys a lot of time at home right now, highly engaged in his surroundings, exploring every nook and cranny and making messes the size of mountains. And if we invest the time at home, at least for now, he is easier to deal with while out and about
He loves cutting, dumping, pouring, squeezing . . .
He loves painting, coloring and drawing, including with oil pastels. He's writing stories and "Reading" to us more than we get to read to him
 He loves cooking, and making playdough and putty, and using shaving cream, etc. . . .
He's empathetic and loves to hug, fist boom, and kiss . . .
He loves to do somersaults on the gym mat and climbs the monkey bars and tree, swings on the rope and trapeze, skates in preschooler skates, rides a tricycle, scooters and skateboards . . .
