The things they learn - Sound Effects

Almost every night, Izaak requests the same three books (Goodnight Moon, Thank You God for the Wonderful World, and Busy Busy Kitties). We didn't set out to teach him sound effects, but we do tend to fall into making many of the same observations and sound effects each time we read a familiar story (i.e. saying "hussssshhhh, hussssshhhhh" with the quiet old lady and snoring when the kitty is sleeping). Anyway, Izaak totally picked up on the repeats and now he loves to join in the noise making. I tried to capture them all in this little video, but he only obliged me with about half of them, *sigh*
Still very cute though.



Can't help myself, here's a completely unnecessary blow-by-blow:
He says "ball" near the beginning, he hisses, snores (early from when we usually do it - while the kitty was sunning, several other times too, not just "dozing"), he doesn't do the munching sounds he usually does, he only does the slurping noise for "kitty drinking" as Alex barely turns the page to "kitty thinking" (so you probably won't hear it unless you're listening for it).
