Cray Cray: Tiny Treasure

Cray Cray. Actually Cray Cray stems from the term "Crazy" when referring to someone as "Cray Cray" according to urban dictionary.. it signifies their craziness to a whole other level. It's a term that we started using when Rory was around a year, in fact, my nieces still refer to Rory as Cray Cray. We tell him to 'get crazy' and he does a quick little dance on his feet and shakes his head side to side. Life with a toddler this age is never dull.  His attention is equally divided between his toys, books, Mom and Dad. At 15 months, if we happened to leave the area where he was playing, he would come looking for me within a few minutes because he wanted to know that I'm paying attention to him..."Bup!"  He would always put a B in front of his words...
Until now, he has been preoccupied with checking out his surroundings.  We now see him trying to get our attention any way he can. When he really wanted me to pay attention he would clobber my nose (as he would a handle) and turn it to the direction he would like me to look.. At 15 months, we noticed he was getting more social and completely aware of people and his surroundings. He spent time waving at everyone...grocery store, library, outside in the front yard.. I realize I want to do a much better job keeping track of things and now he is at the peak of his separation anxiety where he is almost 19 months. He started at Treasureland Preschool first part of September, where he is a Tiny Treasure two days a week...

"Owned it" (Kinda) more like cried the whole time, took a nap under the tree, lost my lizard.
