I Crawl, I Rock

Rearranging DVDs: North's sense of organization

Starting in the last few days North has begun his own organizational project. He takes DVD's and VCR tapes out of the stacks we have on the TV stand shelves, pulls them onto the floor, then pushes them fairly tidily under the TV stand. If I put them back in the TV stand shelving system, he pulls them out again and puts them back under the stand. He seems to think his way is better.

North reads at 7 1/2 months

If, after hearing this story, you don't believe North was really reading, that is fine with me. Mine is only a guess that he was reading.

On September 5th we were at Fred Meyer shopping for a birthday card for Jenni. Going down the card aisle, I parked his stroller facing a card section with the word "Mommy" printed several times. He starts saying "momma momma". Previously he has ONLY said this at the time of day when his mom is due to arrive from work. So he does not just say this any random time.

I was dumbstruck and didn't know how he could really know what the word was. Later I told Jenni, and she made a connection. North's video he watches the most is a sign language tutorial, and they say "Mommy", show the word "Mommy" and do the sign.

I think he knows that word, including when it is in print.
