*Books
Andy is really understanding everything we read to him. After hearing his fire station Richard Scarry book once he started talking about how the hippo in the book lost her keys. He would say "Hippo so sad, lost keys".
Andy thinks the kid on the cover of his White Sox 101 book is him! He asks for the Andy book. He likes to hear about the players whose jerseys were retired and says "about names" I pointed to a picture of fans at the ballpark in the book and told Andy they were called fans. He said "fan goes round and round. don't see it".
After hearing a story about a Rat, mole, and toad going on a caravan trip just once he started saying "Rat, mole, toad, and caravan"
