an obsession with stop signs

a few times a week we visit the stop sign on the other side of the street. declan has a thing for stop signs right now, not sure how or why this started, seems a funny thing to be into! "stop sign" is frequently the first word heard on the monitor in the morning, he knows that it is right outside his window.

once a week we go to gymboree class for his play & music, well we are late each week because he always needs to visit and talk with the stop sign out in the parking lot. he tells it hello, waves to it, touches it, runs around it and says "wow" "stop" "yeay" i love the reactions and laughter of people passing by, he kind of sounds like rain man! he gets pretty mad when we have to say bye-bye to head into class. part of the fun of keeping a blog is i will be able to look back at this and laugh about the stop signs!
