If I ask him my name, he says, "Mommy," but sometimes he says "Cupcake" — maybe because Kate sounds like cake which he always calls cupcake? And cupcakes are awesome. If you ask him his name, he will say "Mino" or "cracker." (At which point I tell him, "Baby, you just look like a cracker, but you are really quite diverse.")
He knows the names of his teachers. He talks almost constantly. Today at Central Market, he lost his balloon and said to it, "Uh oh, balloon go bye bye. Bye, balloon, byeeee." He kept pointing it out to me: "Balloon up there? Balloon go bye bye?" And then when we left the store, long after that balloon was out of sight, he said, "Bye, balloon."
