what will he think of next

yesterday when I went in to get Nathan from his nap, the light was on. I asked him how the light came on and he said...

"i frashed (crashed) my riraffe (giraffe) and push him to da wall. then i tand (stand) on his bew-wee (belly) and reach up so high to turn on dat light."

and he reenacted it for me... and yes I took pictures, but the camera is in his room where he's napping, so pictures will come later.

this morning, I watched as he woke up and played in his bed for over 30 minutes and then he said, "i tink (think) we need some light panda bear. you're so cute." and then I heard the thud (It's a 4 foot tall giraffe) and the grunt as he pushed it to the wall and all of a sudden the room brightened on the video monitor. I laughed... and then cringed as I heard this...

"oh riraffe (giraffe) you can help me reach dat handle on dat door. oooooh you sure can. and den (then) naynay can get out" and sure enough, he pushed the giraffe to the door to get to the handle (which has to be pulled up in order to be opened)... and apparently he knew that. I'd forgotten to shut the gate on his door because until this morning, the pulling up on the handle was enough to keep him in. He emerged from his room declaring, "hey everyone. naynay is here!"

hilarious! what will he think of next?
