I want a magel!!!

It's no secret that our son has a bit of a belly on him. If he's wearing outfits that don't button into a onsie (I think that's the correct name??) then his belly protrudes like a Homer. He's sporting 2T's that are too small because of that awesome belly. His belly button is permanently an outie these days and we all celebrate his little buddah. It's also no secret that he is an early riser so our routine is someone drags themselves out of bed, and it's rarely Lucky, goes up and gets him and then brings him into our bed hoping, praying that he will go back to sleep for an hour or so. He usually just kicks you to death until you lament and get up, but all that is for another time. So, upon finally dragging your weary body up and at him he greets you with a resounding "MAGEL!" As in, it's dawn and he's jonesing for a bagel, which he emphatically pronounces magel.

He knows what everything is now so he'll climb out of our bed, run to the pantry and point to the toaster. Magel, magel, MAGEL!! So we toast one up and then he wants a banana and he knows what that is as well. He is also saying mmmmmmmik! for milk of course. He more or less gets a moo in there so that's fun to hear him say. What isn't so much fun is taking him to the grocery store, because he sees his favorite foods and he wants to eat them. He doesn't grasp the concept of keeping it in the cart and paying for it first, so he feels absolutely tortured being so close to a banana and not being able to eat it. Tragic for him personally and for the tantrum he's throwing in the grocery store. So, now I am watching him while Carrie does the shopping most of the time. He still loves fruits and vegetables first. But he does enjoy a good pretzel rod now and then like Grandpa.

Here is a short video of Q getting his groove on. It's not R&B but check those moves out. He loves the tunes and I love the fact that he's into music. He's impartial to the Dead but we just lost our free XM. We're going to get him started on Buffett in anticipation of the warm up that has to be around the corner. We are 4 sub 60 degree days away from setting the coldest winter on record.
