Bossy Dylan and his fixations

Excuse the lack of posts, but Dylan's sleeping patterns have been crazy lately, so I haven't exactly been fresh as a daisy or in the mood for making cutesy posts. He's been waking up between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. and wanting to play. He stands in his bed and lists all of the toys and activities he can see: "car," "drillo" (the CD player with the Italian "crocodile" song), "story" (his books), etc. It's been taking at least two hours to get him back to sleep and then he's been up by 6 a.m. Not only does he want to decide when we sleep (or don't), he thinks he's in charge of entertainment around the house.

When he gets up in the morning, he immediately runs to the TV and says "Meow Cat!," which means he wants to see the Garfield 2 movie. Cristiano's mom got the original Garfield movie free bundled with a magazine and began playing that when he was at her house. He got so obsessed with "Meow Cat" that I actually picked up Garfield 2 when I saw it at the supermarket. Both Garfield movies are full of animals and he loves watching them and making the animal sounds. The trailer from Garfield 2 below. It's actually quite cute and funny (the first time you watch it).


Then a friend gave us a book with a CD containing the "Crocodile song," which is beloved by Italian children. In the morning after I've put the "Meow Cat" on TV in the living room, he runs back to his room and starts saying "drillo! drillo! drillo!" until I put it on. The song is very cute and the idea is that all of the other animals make a specific sound, but what does the crocodile say? The conclusion is that nobody knows! A video of that below. Enjoy!
