Amari ari loves to sing bedtime songs with me when I put him to sleep. It's precious to hear him sing I am a Child of God and some of the other children's hymns.
He officially learned how to ride his bike and swim!! I think he learned most by watching Becks and wanting to keep up with his brother. I'm so proud of him!! He was so proud of himself when he got in the pool and started swimming. He kept shouting, "yeah!!! Nemo!!!" He didn't want to get out, he just swam after Becks the entire time."
He loves to come in and wake me up in the morning and snuggle with me, I love it!!!
He always goes to bed with a smile on his face and a little laugh
He is so good at mimicking. Practically every story you read him, every thing Becks says, he will copy.
He loves puppets. He gets the biggest kick when I use his "rexy" the Dino he got at the library to read him a story. Say prayers with him, etc.
He loves sticking out his hand and having you shake it and then he says "hi, my name is Amari, I have blue eyes!"
The other day he stuck out his hands and said "woah woah woah woah woah!" with a serious look on his face :).
He LOVES singing. Right now he loves it when Beck's sings the Bumble Bee song ("I'm bringing home my baby bumble bee").
He has really started to stand up to his brother and he will fight back when Beck's gets in his business.
He has become a little territorial. When he sees other children entering into his space or about to use his toys he gets in their face and says "no! no! no!"
Amari has been super whiny and difficult lately. There have been moments I've wanted to cry. But seeing him have a smile on his face all of the time and while putting him to bed tonight and seeing him have perma grin, a feeling came over me that he was meant to come into my life to bring me happiness and remind me not to take life so seriously. I just sat there and started smiling back at him and his whole demeanor changed like "what is she doing", he started copying all of my facial expressions and broke out into giggles. He loves laughing and making others laugh.
He has had this no clothes obsession lately, you'll just find him stripping down and running naked throughout the house. He just wants to be free.
He has been improving on his communication lately, every day (twice a day) we do the exercises we learned from jared. It is helping him develop more of his right brain. When we got him checked by jared we also found out that he has a scar in his right ear so we have to take him to see an audiologist.
Amari loves it when I do "snug as a bug in a rug with each of his blankets"
Amari has been obsessed with transformers lately. He will continually say "go to store, get sideswipe, bumblebee". And then he still talks about Eli's birthday party "heatwave, not ours. Eli's birthday..." Haha every day all day. He cracks me up.
Amari loves loves transformers, he says "I'm bumblebee you're chase, or I'm Boulder, your heatwave"
He's getting better at making friends and going to the gym and to nursery, he'll wave an say Bye mom".
Him and Becks have been playing a lot better together. I found that when I backed off a bit from giving them attention they turned to each other.
Amari is learning his words better, he now gets excited that he can say "moo--vie", which he says all the time 😂.
He loves pointing out letters and numbers and trying to say them. He also loves singing the ABC song and pronounces the M, S, and W so well. He also loves singing along with his favorite show tunes like Super Why and paw patrol and he tries mimicking what they are saying. It's so adorable to watch.
He is so sneaky when it comes to candy, he will try to sneak candy at all costs. The other day I found him in Becks room with the door locked, hiding behind his dresser eating a sucker. When I walked in he had such a guilty look on his face I just laughed.
When we came back from Cancun he became a little bit more of a mamas boy. He wanted to keep hugging me and following me around where I went.
Amari has such a funny relationship with jack--he's always pestering him and messing with him laughing like crazy when jack tries to attack him.
