Knob Update/Kid Update

The knob on my butt:

• is getting bigger, not smaller.
• has turned black at the bottom.
• is very tender.
• still looks like I'm trying to grow a third ass cheek.

The kid under my feet:

• started saying "thank you" out loud yesterday.
• now imitates us by shrieking "NOOOOOO" when he's about to do something he isn't supposed to do.
• can say "ball", "PITsa" [pizza], and "pasta", among other things.
• refers to every Sesame Street character, and the show itself, as "Elmo".
• will point to Cookie Monster, Big Bird, and Oscar correctly if you say their names.
• says "Elmo" and waves bye-bye at his bib (which might have Big Bird or Cookie Monster on it) when he's done eating.
• learned how to go down the steps at the playground using only his feet/legs and without holding a handrail yesterday. Which is more than I can say for myself.
