Kirk tattles on his daddy. I don't really know what it is that Mr. b does (it can vary from not letting Kirk play in the toilet to strapping Kirk into his carseat) but it's stuff that he's not into.
Kirk: Mama?
Me: Yes honey?
Kirk: Dada!
It cracks us up so hard. It's such an accusation the way he says it. Sometimes he'll even point.
He's also started singing and telling jokes. Now, we have no idea why the jokes are funny. But you can say "bobo" to him and he'll die of laughter. He goes into full on laugh attack mode after repeating it and giggling a few times! His songs generally revolve around one word that he knows (like [ba]nana) and nonsense syllables. But Mr. b overheard him singing lyrics consisting of "Mama Dada hat hot" and was so amused that he had to start repeating it right away.
I'm glad that Kirk's already showing such love of music. We go downstairs and listen to one side of a record almost every night. His dance moves continue to be super fly. Although last night he spent the entire time cooking. I have some old Tupperware Toys down there and he was playing with the mini-pitcher and measuring cup and stirring and chattering away, saying "hot, hot, hot." He was totally hosting a cooking show!
He's also developed an Elmo addiction. This is relatively recent, the last week or two only. He's got the Kid's Favorite Songs video in which Elmo does his top ten countdown and various Sesame Street characters sing songs like Row, Row, Row Your Boat and John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. Each song has a different genre arrangement. It's actually pretty good. And he frickin' loves it. As soon as he comes home he heads straight to the drawer with his movies and pulls it out. "Em-oh!" He cuddles his Elmo doll and dances and points and gets so excited.
It's actually gotten to the point where we're starting to wonder if he's watching too much TV. And just a couple of weeks ago we were complaining about his non-stop book demands!

Too much TV? That's un-possible!
I wouldn't worry about "too much tv" if he is being active while watching it, and it sounds like he is. No really, listen to me. I am quite the parenting expert. No really. Okay, well, anyway, this is the criteria we use so we cn sleep through the night feeling like good parents.
One of Little Man's friends will just stare gap-jawed if the TV is on. It doesn't matter what it is on either, he just sits there staring. Little Man always wants the TV on, but he typically wants it on as background noise whilst he is playing trains in the other room
He actually doesn't watch TV much at all. He notices music though. He'll start to dance and we'll realize there's music in the ad or something.
His younger cousin totally zones out on the TV. Pretty much always has.
