this is where we are
This is the stage that the Junebug is at:
Item 1:
Toddler is sitting on the toilet, holding a book. (But Not The Hippopotamus.) He starts to whack at the toilet with it, right at his crotch, since whacking at things is a source of endless enjoyment.
I say, "Hey, try not to hit your penis with the book. It would give you an owie."
Junebug looks at me; then carefully tries to hit his penis with the book. Because, Mama might be lying! Maybe if you hit your penis with a book M&Ms come out of it! WE CAN'T TAKE THAT RISK! (Fortunately, the toilet prevented him from getting any real strength into the blow.)
Item 2:
It is 4 am. Silence fills the dark apartment. Suddenly, from the other room, a tiny voice yells "MINE!" and sobs for about ten seconds before falling back asleep.
We hypothesize that he dreamed someone was trying to take his hat.
Item 3:
The Junebug can now keep himself amused playing by himself with his Legos or his blocks for several minutes on end! It's great. It's especially adorable how he talks to them the entire time. Although sometimes he will have to yell "No! NOOO!" at them, and we worry that he is losing arguments with inanimate objects.

(SteelyKid went through a phase of saying "No, I don't WANT to" in her sleep, which freaked out another friend when they saw this mentioned online, but was so exactly what she said every day about, like, _chewing_, that that possible reading completely escaped me.)

I feel I have not grown out of this stage of life.
