Reading a magazine

Today Shmuli was sitting on my bed when I gave him a thick magazine to play with. He took the magazine on his lap and skimmed through the pages. While doing so, he whispered random non-words. The way he flips the pages, you wouldn't dream that he wasn't actually reading the pages!

Replacing the bottle on the shelf

We were eating the meal on Shabbos when Shmuli ambled over to the closet where we keep various junk like the cameras, some boxes of stuff, and silver polish. He took out the bottle and then replaced it. It started to wobble so he held it there to straighten it and made sure it stayed put. Then he closed the closet door. It was cute to see how he took the time to make sure it was well-stationed.

Ready to roll

As we were about to leave the house for the day, I called out to Shmuli, "Ok, ready to roll? Let's go." Shmuli looked at me and then zoomed away. I tiptoed behind him to see where he was going and was shocked to see that he went over to where his coat was, and tugged it off the chair! He understood that going out meant first putting on his coat!
