Spotty the Dog

Kai likes to pretend he's a dog and his name is Spotty the Dog. Sometimes he's "Spotty the meeny miney (aka teeny tiny) dog just this big" (holding his fingers up about a half inch apart). When he talks he'll say, "this is how I say, 'I want to go hiking today: woof woof (in a high-pitched voice)'". He does this for everything he says when he's a dog. ("this is how I say, 'I want some Little Einsteins cereal in the family room with no milk: woof woof woof woof' . . . this is how I say thanks, 'woof'").

Yesterday, he was being a dog and I told him it was time to go and to get some shoes on. He came crawling out of his room with his shoes on and with another pair of shoes on his hands. Carter likes to imitate him and be a dog too, so he got out a pair of "front paw shoes" and crawled around too. It's always nice when they play well together.
