Music to my Ears!

One of the joys of having a 2 year old is hearing Ethan learn to talk and put sentences and expressions together. He is communicating so much better with us, not so well with others, and he is able express to us his needs. He isn't always polite, but we are trying to teach him to "use his nice words." That is what I say to him when he wants something. Listed below are some of our favorite phrases from our favorite little dude...

~"Mommy, where are you? (or Daddy, hammer, football, etc.)"
~"Hi, Mommy" (or daddy)
~"Hey Scott, more juice" (or milk)
~"EEee's turn. Mama's turn" (EEee is how he says his name)
~"Dada, go sit in chair"
~"EEee has tools too" (or any other item he sees us working with that he also has a toy of or also has)
~"EEee have waffle. Mama have cereal."
~"Little sister's bed. EEee's bed" (as he runs to his room and points to his bed)
~"Super Why, letters. Clifford Big Red Dog" (his favorite shows he watches in the morning)
~"Oh, gosh!" (Scott taught him this one)
~"Jeeze!" (That would be my fault)
~"That's real good."
~"That's real yucky."
~"Just right."
~My new favorite is... Scott asks Ethan, "who's your favorite" Ethan replies, "Dada, mama, EEee, baby sister."

Ethan favorite words these days is "NO"... Everything is no. Though, sometimes he actually says yes. The other day I was trying to get him to stay off the plants outside and I said "no, no, no!" A little bit later I hear Ethan repeat "no, no, no step on plants!" He is repeating a lot of what we say.
