Van's speech is certainly allowing us to see more of his personality and he really is a pretty funny kid. He certainly has a zest for life that makes the people around him smile. His glee just rubs off on friends and strangers. Funny stuff...
He greets everyone (yes really everyone he sees) with a big "hi" in stores, at school, in the neighborhood.
Whenever the doorbell rings, he jumps up to answer it (usually wearing just his Thomas the train undies) which is funny in and of itself. He proceeds to open the door (yeah those child safety knobs don't work much anymore) and then says "Come ON into my house".
Whenever anyone leaves the house, (he's still in undies cause why get dressed for company) he has the reverse move of escorting them out and saying, "Be careful out there, cars coming".
Sometimes he finds something so funny like the mommy says "yes", Van says "no" game, that he laughs hard enough to give himself the hiccups.
His new favorite phase-"Oh Shoot" followed by hysterical laughing whenever something goes amiss. Yes, he heard it from mommy when her bags fell to the ground in the pouring rain...I really did say "Shoot", I swear!!
His word Pumpkin sounds more like "Thumbkin" and his Helicopter apparently has the letter B in the middle, "helbicopter".
Whenever someone asks his name, he loudly spells it...V-A-N...good thing we picked a short name!
The funny funny boy we love so much.
The photographer asked him to make a silly face.
The Arnold pose was his idea.
Once he saw his pal, Darren (http://www.Twinfatuation.blogspot.com/) behind that mask, he was not 'fraid.
Thanks Meredith for this cool ghost
Yes, my mouth is full of candy!
