Quick Facts about Peter

Peter prefers sleeping on his side.

Peter does not care for avocado. If he knew how to “flip the bird” he would likely do so to you if you tried to feed him any avocado. Since he can not do that yet, he just glares at you, with the dirtiest look a 7-month old can muster.

Peter has already chosen his preferred presidential candidate. As he told us at the dinner table about a week ago “ O.. ba.. ma!” Unfortunately, we haven’t yet discussed minimum age requirements for voting with him yet, so I’m going to have to be mean and burst his bubble some day. We’re also going to have to stop him from watching Oprah from now on.

Peter loves playing with a remote control, but if you take out the batteries he’ll throw it away. Whether he’d do this with his toy remote that says “Bon jour!” is unknown.

And finally, Peter knows the difference between dinner and lunch. Lunch is the meal where you shovel in as much food as possible before moving on to your afternoon activities (i.e. napping). Dinner is the meal where you engage in erudite, witty conversations, and you eat at a more socially acceptable pace. At lunchtime, you do not speak beyond a grunt. At dinnertime, you share your thoughts and observations about the events of the day just concluded. At lunchtime, you throw any and all toys you may have before you on the floor. At dinnertime, you throw any and all toys you may have before you on the floor.
