Our chatterbox is 21 months old! Here are a few things we've heard him say in the past month. There are many others that I've forgotten, but I remembered to write these down.
"Look Mommy, I'm a squirrel. I'm a cat, too. I'm a dog, too." He said this while
crawling on hands and knees back and forth across the bathtub.
"Mommy, remember I was sad?" These were the first words out of Moses' mouth the
morning after he'd cried himself to sleep. I can count on one hand the number of times I've let Moses cry himself to sleep, so I felt so bad that he remembered!
"I want to say hi to the Cat in the Hat". Moses' reply when I asked him what he was thinking about after what appeared to be a moment of deep contemplation.
"Because I need to!" An all-encompassing argument which he unfortunately picked up from Caleb. He also says "SO-rry" with a hint of attitude that he's also picked up from Caleb.
"I eat it." We later discovered a few small clear beads alongside a torn, moist packet labeled "Silica Gel. THROW AWAY. DO NOT EAT."
"What's that noise?" When Moses hears something, such as an airplane in the distance.
When I picked Moses up from the one-year-olds' class at Bible Study this past week, he was standing at the table all by himself, flipping through the pages of Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? and saying "hippot-mus, zebra, f'mingo" and all the other animals. What a contrast to the other one-year-olds who were toddling around in silence with blank stares on their drool-soaked faces. Now, if I'd never been in the shoes of the parents those other toddlers, I would probably be giving myself a generous pat on the back right now for being such a superior parent. Thankfully, I have the twins to keep me humble!
