I think I just put two and two together about a funny little habit Rudy has picked up in the last couple weeks. I love it when his little toddler world suddenly makes sense to me-even if just for a moment. :) A couple weeks ago, Mutti and Rudy spent a good half hour exploring a candle. They lit and relit it, blowing it out in between. This absolutely captivated Rudy. At first, he wanted to touch the flame (of course), but Mutti taught him that it's an "Owie" and taught him he could only blow on it. Well, from then on, when I tell him "don't touch" he bends over (or stretches up-which ever fits the situation) real close to it and blows on it instead. Ha! Up until a couple minutes ago, I was mystified but satisfied with this behavior. After all, he wasn't hurting himself or the "no no" with his blowing, and he still got the satisfaction of interacting with it. Just now, he got his arm caught in a drawer while reaching in for a sparkly wrapper he had deposited inside. After I freed him, I was telling him how he needs to be careful 'cause sometimes the drawer can give owies and then he started blowing on the drawer. Bingo! That's when I understood his correlation between don't touch and blowing on something. What a cool little mind he's got. Oh, and here's a few photos just for kicks. :)
Rudy climbed into his wagon all by himself, settled himself on his football for a seat, and started making car sounds (vvvvvvvrrrrrmmm!) What a cutie!
Rudy's so speedy by now, this was all that was left of him after my flash finished its little red-eye reducing routine.
