He has a couple of consistent sayings he uses a lot lately. My favorite is "need hug". It can be in the morning, while reading books at bedtime, while he's running around playing. Sometimes he asks for a big hug and sometimes for a small hug. He almost always says he needs a hug when he wakes up and he snuggles his face into my neck. Heaven.
Elliot also likes to "chase Tito!" but we have told him that this is an outside only activity to reduce the amount of torture for the dog. If Tito doesn't respond by running circles, Elliot will just stand there with his legs leaning against Tito's body as if he can physically will him to be chased.
We were reading a book a few days ago and in one of the pictures, a kid falls, hurts himself and is looking pretty sad. He's got a tear on his cheek and a big pout lip. Elliot pointed at the lip and asked, "what's that?" We talked about pout lips and practiced making them. Now he uses it often but always as a semi-joking sad face. This morning when he woke up, he smiled at me, made a pout lip and snuggled in, then smiled again.
