Jack says...

Previously when Jack would fall or get hurt he would stay down and whimper a little bit until you told him he was okay and would help him up or kiss his booboo. Now it's:
(Jack falls and while on the ground) "Okay?"
Mama: "You're okay!"
Jack: "OKAY!"

When he wants to go into a different room in the house he points to the room and says, "In there?" Whenever he wants to go somewhere or in something (like his tent or tunnel he'll ask the same thing.)

Because he knows when he's pooping/has to poop (he'll yell 'POOP!') I made sure that I got a little toilet to have on hand. It's just sitting in the bathroom next to the normal toilet so when I use mine, Jack will come in and sit on his. I ask him, "what goes in there? (pointing to this toilet)" He says, "poop!" and/or "pee!"

He loves brushing his teeth, he will point at his teeth, a toothbrush or toothpaste and say "brush".

He loves taking a bath. He will run into the bathroom and say, "bathtub bathtub BATHTUB!" and when he really wants to get in he starts taking off his clothes.

He's starting saying, "chill". When he gets all worked up over nothing I'll tell him to chill out and he'll respond with a head nod and "chill".

He really enjoys pretending to feed his animal toys. He will up either fake or real food to their mouth and make pretend chewing noises... it's sooooo cute!

Sometimes he will pull a washcloth out of the closet and 'washes' his belly, penis and bum with it. He's fully clothes of course, but very cool.

Josh was given ice cube trays for Christmas. Jack found them in one of the bags brought from my parents house, opened the freezer and put them in... that blew my mind.

I recently made a list and he knows at least 80 words. I know there's more but I can't think of them. He can also form rudimentary sentences so we're really able to communicate, I find that incredible.
