Leo is almost two and he is so funny and talented he amazes us and keeps us laughing all day long.
He loves the Mandolorian. He grabs my phone out of my pocket and asks one of his siblings to, "Open it". If he is allowed to watch it he would watch it all day long. Whenever baby Yoda eats something. gross or whenever someone asks him what he thinks of baby Yoda, he will pretend to put something in his mouth and say, "Ew gwoss!!!" with a thoroughly disgusted face to match. He will use his fingers, any long stick, play guns, play swords, tiny lego guns, the mop handle, etc and point it at you with a mad determined face and start yelling "pew pew pew" iIf the kids pretend to die after he shoots them he will throw himself on the ground next to them and die dramatically with them. He came up to me with a little lego gun today saying pew pew. I thought he was just showing it to me so I was like, "Wow cool Leo!" he started saying, "its not working" over and over and got frustrated. I asked Sammy, "What is it supposed to do Sammy?" Sammy told me, "Oh he wants you to die Mommy, he's shooting at you." He was right! haha!
Hamilton came out on Disney plus July 3rd and our family went Hamilton crazy! Leo loves to dance and he loves to sing the songs. He has many phrases memorized and he loves to rap them and dance awesomely! "After the war I went back to New York" Its awesome!
Leo continues to just absolutely adore Wally. In the mornings he will climb up on our bed and rub his face on Wallys furry face. Best friends. We watched Scrappy for a couple weeks and Leo was the designated ball thrower for Scrappy. One day he fell asleep on the floor and Scrappy brought his ball and set it down next to him and cried for like 10 minutes.
Leo still loves to play and watch soccer. He learned to drop kick the ball around 18 months. He caught Pneumonia a month or so ago and was very sick and asthmatic for a month and the only thing we could do to calm him down or to get him to allow us to give him his nebulizer treatments was to show him a soccer game. It is crazy how much he loves it from such a little age. He is happiest when he has a ball to kick. For many many months a ball was the only toy he had any interest in at all.
He loves to sing too. Esther plays princess songs and she and Phoebe sing nonstop. So Leos favorite songs apart from Hamilton are "Into the Unkown" "Let it Go", "Someday my prince will come" and he belts them out at the top of his lungs. It is so cute and amazing!
Sometimes if someone else is singing Leo will tell them to "Shut up" its funny but I wish we could stop laughing at it.
