We had a breakthrough yesterday. Will woke up from his nap and wanted to watch a little TV (nothing new here). I asked if he wanted to watch "Cars" and he said no! What?
"Football," he said. He wanted to watch football on Monday at 3 p.m. Great. So I flipped through sports channels until I found college football highlights from last weekend, but every time it switched from the clips back to the commentators, he would yell "NO, FOOTBALL!" It was quite pleasant since Abby and I were trying to finish up a game in the other room. We don't even have much football on while he's awake, but somehow he knows. They always know!
A couple weeks ago, he was watching the big kids on the block play football in the street. Our aforementioned neighbor (whom he loves) walked up and said hi to him. He didn't even look at her, but shushed her by pointing and saying "Football," like "Come on lady, can't you see I'm watching the game?" I'm not sure I like where this is headed.
But of course, we have more than football on the brain. The other morning, both kids were coloring. Will looked over at Abby's page and said, "Wow! Amazing!" I'll give you one guess which movie he was quoting. He's also started saying "I don't know" except it's not really three separate words. It all runs together like "Iunno." You know, kind of like adults do it. Intonation and everything.
By the way, we now have Browns vs. Giants on the DVR.
