Don't Forget

There's so many things about D right now that I NEVER want to forget. I've said it before...this is the closest thing to a baby book I have, so I'm going to record it here! Read it and weep (and I might, literally).

D talks in full sentences these days. It's so cute. But it's making me realize he's growing out of that baby phase. Words are clear, sentences are gramatically correct (Dain's so proud), and he knows more than I ever thought he would by this age.

There have been some words that he says wrong - and I ENCOURAGE it. Because it's so. stinking. cute. However I have noticed that some of them are converting to the correct pronunciation and I have to write this stuff down or someday I won't remember the sheer adoreableness of the everyday.
For instance - he has my old California Raisin figures. Yes, he may be the only 2 year old out there who knows who these things are...and knows they sing "I heard it through the grapevine." But he has always called them 'nain-rays' (the common dyslexic version of raisin). I have just referred to them that way as well...but then yesterday - he just starting saying raisins. Nain-rays out the window and as much as I try to get him to revert back, he's not doing it!

Here's the other super-cute terms that we've come to know and love with D:

'Terra-goat' = telescope (this is mostly with a toilet paper tube!)
'Pillupit' = pillow pet (yes, he has one from Grandma Susie)
'Terra-tops' = Triceratops
'Pommas' = Thomas (the tank engine)
'Cheesis' = Cheeze-its
'Marica' = Captain America'
'Piderman' = Spiderman
'Dart Daver' = Darth Vader
'Green Globin' = Green Goblin (notice a theme with the "guys"?)
'Brocky' = broccoli (perhaps his favorite food)
'What Doing?' = What are you doing? (usually this is full volume)
'Way-yo' = yellow
'Tanny' = Stanley (Evan & Marcy's dog)
'Bayball' & 'Backetball' = baseball & basketball
'I gom mum' = I got him!

And a few of my favorite sayings of his...
"I have idea...I make chicken"
"Hmmmm....I KNOW!"
"No thank you mommy. No thank you."
"You okay? Yeah, I okay."
"Cold out dere"
"P is a mystery" (we have no idea where this came from)
"SUPERHEROES!!"
"Oh NO! A scary monster!"
"What's that sound? Let's go find it"
"Hide in the bush!"
"Mommy take you" (referring to when he'd like me to carry him somewhere)
"That a great song/book/movie mommy"

I am sure I'm forgetting a ton of my favorites. Stay tuned for additions!! And Dain may add some in - as may you!!
