I have been talking to Marcus about his feelings. I am learning that by expanding his emotional vocabulary, he will have greater access to understanding his own feelings if he can relate to the words used to describe them. What I didn’t know is that he would start making up words to describe his feelings. Tonight he was feeling disappointed youtube was taking so long to boot up Sid the Science Kid. “Mommy I am feeling upset deluded!”

In other tales from the #landofcute This summer Marcus has started calling me “m’lady”

Today I found a note that I wrote to myself in an old diary. It is priceless. Around the time that Marcus discovered the Octonauts he learned a lot about various sea creatures. About 2 years ago, when he was 3, I asked him for the very first time
“Marcus if you could have a pet what kind of animal would you like to have?” Without skipping a beat he said
“A Snot Sea Cucumber!”
