Video of James singing and chatting with us

When I write little things that James says, I can always hear his voice in my head. I don't feel like I've gotten enough video of him talking, and I started thinking today about how I never want to forget what his sweet two-year-old voice that I love so much sounded like! Tonight I took the video camera along with us in the car (thinking he'd be strapped in and might actually talk for the camera), and I just filmed him for a while. I edited out the boring stuff (this might all be boring to you), and got him doing several things...

*The "Where truck goins?" game...While Daddy was running in the grocery store to get something, James asked me, "Where truck goins?" (lots of words have an "s" at the end now). I answered him "I don't know!" several times. He kept asking, and then started mouthing along with me "I don't know!" That made me laugh, which egged him on because he thought he was being funny. It turned into a big game, and he started getting really silly towards the end.

*He also sang his ABC's for the camera finally (I had to pretend like I wasn't video'ing him to get him to do it) and started "Wheels on the Bus".

*We also got him to say his full name and his brother's. I'm so glad we got this on video, because I love the way he says "Satterfield".
