this is the best phonetic description i can come up with for what it sounds like when simon says CAT. he loves Dharma soooooo much. he says his word for CAT much more than anything that sounds like mama or dada.
Dharma is a saint when it comes to Simon. He follows her around, he tries to sit on her, he pounds on her, grabs her collar, pulls her tail, pushes the chair around when she’s sitting on it, etc. Usually she just moves a few inches and sits back down, waiting for more “love”, sometimes she rolls over and bats at him. sometimes she asks to go outside. only twice can i remember him actually getting a scratch. i still watch them very very closely for both of their safety though. i tell them both to be gentle, be nice, easy, etc. i separate them when necessary and am always on alert to know when they’re in the same room together.
yesterday i was thinking it is a little glimpse into the future if we have another kid, simon will be the 2 or 3 year old that the baby is following around, pulling on etc. i’ll be trying to keep him from batting at the baby, I’ll be saying gentle, be nice to both of them again. the obvious difference though…i won’t be able to just shoo simon out the door like i do dharma when i get tired of dealing with them! neither will i be able to close the door on simon when he’s eating so the baby doesn’t get into his food like i do when Dharma is eating in her bathroom now.
hmmmm…maybe we’ll just get another cat
