likes....
EATING. He requests his particular favorites like "nola" (granola), "brown bunnies" (chocolate graham crackers shaped like bunnies), booberries (blueberries).
PLAYING. Trains and Tracks, Big and Little Cars, Puzzles, Coloring Books, Sidewalk Chalk, Playdough.
READING. We probably read 10 books a day, at least. He's started "reading" back some of the pages to me. Guess he has em memorized, despite owning at least 100 books.
COUNTING. Anything. As long as its up to 11.
HUGS AND KISSES. Lucky me!

doesn't like....
VEGGIES. So I hide them in his food and he doesn't seem to care.
RIDES. Amusement type, like merry go rounds. Motion sickness? He's ok in cars...
BOREDOM. He starts throwing things when he's bored.
DOLLS. So much for the collection we have, he barely touches them.

says....
LOTS. Probably has 200 words if not more. Every day there's a new one. Yesterday it was "seat belt". Other newbies include office, funny, movie, please and thank you. He points at things he doesn't know the words for. He doesn't know how to say all the consonants yet so F gets used in place of "th", Y in place of "L" etc. Its very cute.

can...
identify all the letters in the alphabet! I'm so impressed.
recognize his written name
put trash in the garbage can without my prompting him to do so
turn the tv on and off by himself
answer yes/no questions
figure out when finger paint is really just food coloring in vanilla pudding (see above)
