We're pleased to announce the release of Version 21.0 XY which addresses some of known operating failures of Version 20.0 XY. The new and improved version features the following upgrades:
Now! Even busier!
Version 21.0 XY is always hard at work doing something. We're just not sure doing what.
Ah, I see the inflatable turtle has been dethroned. And the buckets stacked. And the watering can moved. It's all clear to me now!
Wow! Self-efficacy boom!
Version 21.0 XY wants to do it himself. That means you should only assist him to achieve his immediate goals at your own peril. The high bar stool? He can climb it. It may take him 20 tries, and he may bust his skull open in the process if you don't hold the stool down firm while he repeatedly tries to hoist his body on top of it with pure brute upper body strength, but he will do it. And proudly say "Deed it!" (Also occasionally accompanied by a self-applied round of applause.)
Ooh! Actually requests to go on the swings!
Yes, folks, this version will actually request to be placed on the baby swing. He will also appear to enjoy swinging for no more than 5 seconds before it stops being fun. DOW!
New and improved verbal expression!
Booboo nose - after face-planting it during running spill, this has been a favorite expression. Accompanied by pointing to red, scabby nose tip.
adoo adoo ah oo ah oo ah oo - From Sound of Music's So Long, Farewell. Adieu! Adieu! To you and you and you!
wabbeet - Whenever pointing at the main Papa character of "Guess How Much I Love You."
ert, spay - Accompanied by pointing at picture of Earth, in space, from one of his favorite books.
seet dow - Echoing of constant commands from The Programmers while he stands at the dinner table.
keese - Must keese before leaving the house. Even if you are leaving with him.
ahvoo - Said in response to "I love you"
Artistic Genius!
Holy crap. Such feeling. Such command of orange. And not even 2.
Yes, this version can use GLUE. Call Mensa.
Jumps! With two feet! At the same time!
Unlike prior versions which attempted to jump but failed (often hobbling on one foot or just bending knees and straightening them, quick), this version lifts off the ground. At least a millimeter.
This version does not address the following operating failures:
Tricycle awkwardness.
The only way this Version makes a Tricycle move is via The Flintsones shuffle.
Hatred of holding hands while crossing the street, instead preferring to gun it while Female Programmer screams and chases after him. Major operating failure.
Coveting thy sister's toys, foodstuffs, or anything being actively used by sister*.
*sister does not help situation.
We'll be working on these for the next version...
Saw your post on Momicillin about XY's... discovery. I call it "parts". As in boys have boy parts and girls have girl parts. It's working for now....

The 'jump' where they don't actually leave the ground, kills me.
Ahvoo!

Version 21.0 xy is getting so close to perfection, it might be almost time to "start working" on a new product!
