He is a genius

I can't tell you how many times a day Henry and I talk about the genius we have in He-Man. Of course, all the kids are brilliant :) but He-Man blows our minds.

Leaving church tonight, He-Man is riding in his sling and leans over to ask me face to face, "Bwoon?"

I didn't even have to think twice about what he said. It was plain as day.

"Balloon?" I asked.

He looked up in the sky.

You see, last week when we left church, we had 3 helium balloons that we released as we left the building. Hudson was hoping we would either do it again today or either he would be able to see the ones we released last Wednesday.

Neat, huh?

It is CONSTANTLY things like that...

He also likes to go into the bathroom, stand near the toilet and pull up on his shirt. Since he's wearing one piece outfits 99% of the time, it took me a little while to figure out what he was doing. But yesterday I saw Rocky 'going potty' and He-Man was standing right beside him, watching. Rocky uses both of his hands to hold up his shirt while he tee-tees. He-Man copies him.

Other things He-Man can say quite clearly:

"Dit down" - "Get Down" as he crawls off the bed or couch

"Peez?" - "Please"

"Oosy" - "Lucy" - the dog

"Wah-woo" - "Water"

"Beh-buh" - "Belly-button"

"Ear", "Nose", "EyeZ" - no explanation needed

"Book-kuh" - "Book" - Not sure why he adds the extra emphasis on the "k"

"Baw" - "Ball"

These are in addition to "Momm-ee", "Dad-Da", "Paw Paw", "Me Me", "GJo", "PePaw"

I'll share more as I remember them or hear them.

Sorry if this seemed like bragging.
