I was hoping this day would come.
I may have mentioned Julian's greatest love in all the world is buses. This isn't uncommon with small kids, but I believe he has an uncommon kind of love. More specifically, obsessive and possibly unhealthy.
He was sitting on my lap while I was folding laundry. We had his towel and he looked at me and said, "wowel?" The dialogue went like this:
Jen: No, Towel.
Julian: wowel
Jen: towel
Julian: wowel
Jen: TOWel
Julian: WOWel
Jen: Towel--t-t-t-
Julian: wowel
Jen: Can you say tuh-tuh-tuh? Tuh-owel
Julian: bus

He was reading a book that had a picture of a cat. He has a funny way of saying "meow." It's really intense: "EeeeeOWWWWW!" He said this when he saw the cat but added a variation:
"EeeeeOWWWW!!! bus"
****
And then I caught him giving tender kisses to this. Unfortunately did not get a pic. It was kind of an awkward moment. I felt like I was spying.
But then I came around the corner, luckily with a camera, to see him cuddling with his little buses and dancing/twirling around the room with them.
When all else fails - Change the subject! Go Julian. He's learning healthy social skills early.
