So he’ll stand and I’ll stay in my new stern mom voice, “Doodles, sit!” (Dogs, babies, they respond to the same type of thing). He’ll look at me, smile, let his tush graze the seat and within the next second is standing again.<\/p>\n
He also loves to answer questions. Things such as “Where’s your nose?” “What does a doggie say?” But he gets really excited sometimes to answer that he quickly answers with the answer to the previous question. “Doodles, what does a doggie say?” “Oof! Oof!” “Doodles, what does a she–” “Oof, off!” “Doodles, a sheep. What does a sheep say?” “Aaaa. Aaaaa.” “What does a bee–” “Aaaa. Aaaa.”<\/p>\n
