Routines

Nico is a big fan of routines. He anticipates what is next and is excited to show you that he knows what's coming. This morning as Guy was heading to bed, he paused to tell me about something and Nico quickly picked up the slack by signing "goodnight" over and over again. He'd walk to the bedroom door, realize Guy wasn't following him, turn around and come back and sign "goodnight", looking at Guy like he was forgetting something.

One routine that I love and that Nico started all by himself with no prompting from us, is the morning baby routine. Nico and I come out to the living room in the morning and sit on the couch next to Guy. Nico promptly climbs down off the couch and goes to his room and brings back the baby doll. He hands it to Guy and then goes back into his room to get the baby's hat, and then the blanket. Not sure why. But it sure is cute!
