Uh oh! Water spilled. Why, WHY?

The boys are now 2 years and 4 months old, and are talking up a storm! I know I say that a lot, but recently their vocabulary seems to have increased exponentially, and they are definitely speaking in sentences now. Some recent quotes:

• "Uh oh! Water spilled. Why, WHY?" - Joshua, after spilling a cup of water on our bed. I wonder where he picked up the angry "why?" at the end? :)


• "Uh oh! Shoe come off." - Joshua, after taking off his shoe when he knew he wasn't supposed to.


• "Excuse me!" - Both boys have learned to say this when someone else is in their way and they wish to pass by. What polite young men!


• "Lamb sleepy. Sweet." - Joshua, when he is pretending to rock a stuffed toy lamb to sleep. He will cradle the lamb in his arms, sway his hips, and gently pat the lamb with his hand. It is the most precious sight ever.


• "Go outside? Bike, bike? Stroller? Alright, let's go!" - Caleb, when he wants to go outside and ride bikes and/or go for a ride in the stroller.


• "Hello, this is Katie. Alright, bye!" - Joshua, pretending to talk on the phone.

Also, Joshua practically has Dr. Seuss' book Hop on Pop memorized. Seriously, it's pretty impressive. He and Caleb both have certain lines from The Cat in the Hat memorized, too. They can also almost count to 20. Sometimes they will skip from fifteen to seventeen, etc., but they get the main idea.
