Favorite things to talk about these days

Ghosts ("Gho!") when we see the ghost setups outside his school and when he looks at a ghost artwork he made with his footprint last week

Airplanes - He likes to look for things in the sky like the moon, birds ("bye bye, birds"), and airplanes ("plane!")

Bugs - I didn't know he knew what a bug was but when we were outside today he pointed at the spiders on his slide and was talking about all the bugs

Mine - his new favorite word out of all of them...

Snow - We've been watching halloween and christmas movies and surprisingly he likes Nightmare Before Christmas alot and when Jack the skeleton falls down the christmas chute into a pile of snow he says something along the lines of, "Uh Oh, he fell down! Snow!"

Open - He asks us to help him open things like the windows, the doors ("Outside?"), and boxes ("Bah-ux")

He has also been very lovey this week.  He wasn't feeling the greatest but I think he's also going through a hugging/kissing phase and is milking it to try to get to stay up longer or take longer to drop him off at school.  He will cling and wrap his arms/legs really tight around us when it's time for bed or school goodbyes, and he is kissing us and giving lots of hugs all day long.  I like it so I think I encourage it and that is making it worse in a way because he's been using it to manipulate us a little.
One of his teachers said "He's such a cuddly baby!" and that's probably true compared to some other kids.  He blows his teachers and the secretaries kisses goodbye when we leave school.
