You In There Graygra?

The other night Cason was fighting SO hard not to fall asleep. Jess and I were watching The Office on dvd, and Cason was lying on me, trying to stay awake. He'd start to doze, then POP up into a sitting position with a crazy grin, and start doing this knee hop thing. I started tapping his nose and telling him "nose". After a few times he said "noe". Then today he touched mine and said it again. He's such a good mimic. He's been copying tons of stuff. He says "mama, daddy, gama, baby, coco, ball, daisy, and now 'noe'". I think that's all of the official ones, although Jess, my mom, and I all swear we've heard him copy "thank you" a few times. Not sure yet though.

Today Paige has been doing this weird thing where she grabs your face, opens your mouth, (sometimes while saying "open your mouf!" and then puts her face an inch from it and yells "YOU IN THERE, GRAYGRA?" She often mentions the Rescue Gangers right after, so it must be something from one of those episodes. I can't figure it out, but she thinks it's so funny.

Tonight when Jess got home we drove around downtown looking at the old houses, and then stopped at the little train park. Paige has seen it from the car before, but she never realized she was allowed to stop and walk up to it, LET ALONE climb into it! She was SO happy when we stopped there. I've seriously never seen such joy on her face. It was the cutest ever. And also a perfect time of day to take pictures, but of course I'd forgotten the camera. I was a bit sad about that. She kept climbing through the train, and then saying "do it again!" One of the times I was walking around with her to go through it again, she was walking ahead of me and goes "I HAPPY." It was the best.

Aunt Teetee gave Cason some monkey pjs for his birthday, but he got them early. So tonight they're both wearing monkey pajamas.
