Recently, I made Jonah a microphone (at his request) out of a toilet paper roll and a ball of foil. Since then, he’s spent hours and hours singing songs into it. He especially likes to set himself up in the hallway so he can look down to the mirror and make sure he’s got all his moves down just like the guys he watches on youtube.

He continues to entertain Nora, and she’s starting to pay more attention to his playing.

Yesterday, we were in the back yard and heard what sounded like a big truck, so we went out front to investigate. It was a cement truck! Jonah was so excited about seeing “a cement truck just like at our old house!” that he took off running and promptly face-planted on the sidewalk. He cried for a minute, but recovered pretty quickly so that we could keep walking to see the truck. When we got back home, I noticed that in addition to some scrapes, he had actually gotten a fat lip (which he called a “flat lip”). :)

Then he asked, “Do you want Mom to take a picture of you with your crying face?” and made this face for me.

And then it was back to playing ball in the yard.

He also really wanted me to take a picture of him lifting the dumper on his truck. So here it is.
