Random Amusing Bits

Jonathan has proved he's able to remember things that happened a few days ago. He can't stop talking about his visit to "Auntie and Uncle's" house. Liz and Jim graciously hosted us on Saturday afternoon. We went to dim sum and then Jonathan terrorized the cats. Now he points to their picture and cries "Auntie! Onkle!" We asked him what he played with while he was there. Apparently he enjoyed "bogo, play, truck, bee, frog, cat." That would be the Ooga Booga mask, banging on the piano, the two wind-up toys, a Kermit doll, and Moonpie, respectively.

We were worried he might be allergic to the cats (or to Mr. Ooga Booga) because the next morning he was covered in a most impressive set of hives. He didn't seem too terribly bothered, but when we would lift his shirt to check on them, he would tell us "Itchy! Itchy!" They're mostly gone by now, and I suspect it was related to a little virus instead. He's been running a low grade fever and has a runny nose. I do wish Chris had taught him a different way of asking for a tissue. Currently, Jonathan's method is to come up to us, mush his hand over his nose, and announce "Boogers!"
