20 and 21Months Old

20 months:

• Whenever Zusha is frustrated, he says, "Abi abi."
• Zusha has yet ANOTHER obsession: FANS. He can spot a fan anywhere. Even a picture of a star is a fan!
• I came home from work once and my slippers weren't in their place. So I put on the extra pair. Then Zusha came running to me with my slippers in his hands, calling excitedly, "Mama!" But when he saw that I put on a different pair, he got so insulted!
• Once Zusha was walking outside when a very strong wind blew. It pushed him forward, making him run. He was so thrilled, running along and laughing hysterically.
• Zusha learned exactly what is a Vava (booboo) and that I hand out kisses and cuddle when he gets one. I also kiss and cuddle randomly, but he doesn't like it- only when he gets a vava. So one day he came and showed me a red mark on his finger from a marker. He said 'vava' and made kissing noises. So I kissed his finger and cuddled... then he looked at me as if he fooled me and exclaimed, "CRAYON!"

21 months

• Zusha knows all about opening locked doors with credit cards and other such objects because our building's door was very delapidated and we always opened it with odd objects. One time I was in the bathroom and Zusha was banging the door down and calling me. Suddenly I see metrocard after metrocard flying in through the crack between the door and the doorpost!
• Zusha's favorite toy is his stuffed lion, Leibush. And he lately started to offer him yogurt! He takes him in his hands, looks at him lovingly and says, "Yoyo? Yoyo? Deibu yoyo?"
