Doodles language is growing in leaps and bounds. Some of the recent highlights:

--We sing a song in Tot Shabbat called "Shalom Haverim", which is a hello song in which we sing shalom to all the kids. And Doodles likes to sing it at home. But he sings exactly what he hears: "Shalom, Halloween. Shalom, Halloween. Shalom! Shalom!"
--Doodles loves his nursery rhymes book. He always asks for the "Humpty Humpty" book.
--He sings "Rainbow Connection". There's nothing cuter than hearing him sing, "Rainbows are visions, but only illusions." I can't translate the adorableness of his pronunciation, but trust me, it's way cute.
--He's speaking in more complex sentences, using up to five words in a sentence.
--We have a house cleaner who speaks Portuguese. As many of you may know, "Oy," in Portuguese, is "Hello." Doodles adores our house cleaner and when he heard her say, "Oy," on the phone, he picked it up. "Oy! Oy! Oy!" he tootled. Who knew our little Doodles would pick up his Yiddish from a Brazilian?
--In the morning, Adam takes care of Doodles. Every now and then, Doodles wakes up very early. "Milk?" Doodles asks. "Doodles," Adam says, "let's sleep longer. It's still early." And then Doodles proves that he is the master manipulator and says, "Doodles use potty?" which of course gets Adam up and running only to get downstairs and have Doodle flash his killer smile and say, "Milk?"
--Life is now running commentary from him. He's either telling you about every detail of his day ("Doodles go sleep on pillow!"), he's making nonstop inquires about the world around him ("What's that? Who's that?"), or he's making his desires crystal ("I don't like that!" "I want to!" and our favorite, "I don't want to!" all of course said with a lilting whine).
