Kids say the darndest things.....

I have been wanting to keep a record of some of the cute things Sean is starting to say now, so I can look back on them when he is talking way too much, and remember when it was so amazing to hear him put sentences together for the first time! For the record, he is 22 months now : D

The other day I was helping him brush his teeth, and was probably being a bit too forceful. He said "Stop!" and pulled his face away. This is the first time he vocalized an actual, "stop," to me, so I said, "Did you just tell me to stop??" with a giggle, and then HE replied, "Yes, I did!"

We have a few favorite books, and one of the newest is called Snuggle Puppy by Sandra Boynton. The words are, "Oooooo, snuggle puppy of mine, everything about you is especially fine. I love what you are, I love what you do. Oooooo, I love you!" (Kiss!) Sean has started trying to sing it on his own, so in the other room I will hear, "Ooooooo  Suh puppy MINE, mununumunuh (or other filler sounds) FINE. Ooooooo I wah you. Mwuah!" 

Sean and I were eating breakfast together, and he pushed his water cup right next to my coffee mug, and said, "Water. Coffee. Friends!"

Our dog Jax pulled a bowl full of Sean's snack down from the coffee table the other day and ate it all. I found it and whacked him on the nose with the bowl, and Sean saw me do it. He looked at me and said, "Momma, say Jax sorry."

When I go into Sean's room to get him in the morning, occasionally as I walk into the room, he says, "Momma?? Hooray!!!!!"

In the wee hours of the morning, sometimes Sean will wake up and talk to himself or play before falling back asleep. The other morning I heard him reciting his alphabet, combined with playing our daily hide and seek game. "A.... B.... C.... D..... E..... F........ G? Where are you G? G!!! WHERE ARE YOU???" 

We were outside going for a walk. All of a sudden, Sean looks at me and says, "Su......per Grover!" So I say, "Super Grover, huh?" And then he proceeds to tell me a story, that went something like, "Super Grover and Elmo fly, and Cookie and Elmo and Super Grover are friends." Then we went inside and he got his stuffed Ernie, Elmo, and Cookie Monster and made them all fall down and go "ouch" and said sorry. After they fell down again, he put his hands to his cheeks and said, "Oh no, what are we gonna do?" and as he turned them all over he said "fix it."

I am sure I will be hearing more of these silly stories and sentences coming from him again soon. But it's easy to be amazed by my child daily, and forget to take record so I can look back on these memories later.
