“Mommy, why are the flowers is shapes? I see a circle, a triangle, and even a crescent!” Honestly, what kid knows the shape of the crescent. Tickled me. I can thank the ‘shape app’ for that one!
Buba loves to talk now. No I don’t think that quite describes him at the moment. Buba never shuts up! Ever! You would think that wouldn’t bother me being a chatterbox myself but on somedays it absolutely drives me bonkers.
“Mommy, what’s this?”
“Mommy, why?”
“Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!”
I swear he doesn’t think I know my own name. He has even gone as far as saying “Mommy” for the millionth time and me ignoring him caused him to shout, “Jenny, I am talking to you.” The worse part it was in front of the mailman. Talk about embarrassing!
We have been working on our manners lately with him too. I keep saying I want to raise a gentleman and these are what gentleman say. So today when I was cleaning and cut my foot, he heard me say, ‘crap!’ “Mommy, do gentlemen say crap?” I about choked on my own breath. No they do not! “So I guess you not a gentlemen, are you?” Caught me kid. I am not sure I like my kids getting older, they are starting to call me out on all my mishaps.
“Mommy, are you naughty girl?” …I replied, why do you ask that? “Because I am a naughty boy when I potty my pants” Pointing at my lap where he sister had just dumped her water cup. Mommy, didn’t potty her pants, Missy Moo spilled her water on me. “No you potty your pants, you naughty, do you need my pullup?” I couldn’t convince him otherwise and thanked him for offering up one of his nighttime pullups. I guess he at least learned the art of sharing.
I love this age and the funny things they come out with in the spur of a moment. I am always ready for one of Buba’s one liners or funny car conversations these days. Even better is listening to him and his sister talk back and forth or rather Buba talk at his sister and she just nod and coo back! Here is what I heard this week…
“Baby don’t take my socks off while I potty.”
“I am doing the biggest poo in all the world, right here in this potty.”
“Baby that not good for your teeth.”
“Out of your mouth, that’s yucky, Mommy told you baby!”
“Baby that noise hurts my ears.”
“Come play with me, just don’t touch my cars!”
I love that he calls her baby all the time. I can’t wait to hear what she will say back to him when he is cheeky. I am sure she will have some good replies. Only time will tell.
This has just reminded me of two things – the first being my step-daughter at age two (and just learning to speak) “oh look there’s a cwesent moon” (and there was!) and my eldest at age two – when I finished eating everything on my plate – “good boy, mummy!”. They are funny bunnies! 🙂 X
Hahahah I love those. Kids are so entertaining. It’s a great stage.
So cute! I have yet to have my kids call me by my given name to get my attention, but I am actually surprised it hasn’t happened since I have a horrible habit of ignoring them when I just can’t take anymore “Mom, mom, mom, mommy, mommy, mommy” lol! The other day I had asked Rynne to do something, and her reply was “I’ll just do it later mommy”. It took everything I had to not laugh and get her to do what I needed her to do lol! She is big on things happening “tomorrow”…I’ll ask her if she wants yogurt for a snack and she replies with “I’ll have yogurt tomorrow”, or if we are at the store and she has asked for something and I said no, her follow up question is “Can I just have this tomorrow then”? Kids really do say the darndest things 🙂
Ahhh I absolutely love the “tomorrow” bit. So funny. That would have taken everything I had not to laugh either. Bless them. So entertaining while they grow up!
Oh I love this post. They are so funny at this age aren’t they.
Thank you for the giggle today.

Oh that is so cute! I know what you mean about the constant noise, I have the same thing with A and it is mummy, mummy all the time. I think a mute button would be nice sometimes. I love the things he says to his sister that is so lovely
Yes how amazing would that be- mute mute! hahaha He is always saying the funniest phrases to her I can’t wait until she can talk back and say them back!
I love this age, but my goodness my son can talk and I do wonder why I ever wished he would start! I have had him calling me Becky too so I laughed reading
Yes buba shouts mommy jenny now too. They never shut up hahahaha and missy moo is following right behind.
