Now that T Junior is 1-1/2, we can sort of have conversations. Lots of times it goes like this:
Me: T Junior, put the pillow back on the couch, please.
T Junior: Wiwwow.
Me: Yes, pillow. Put it back on the couch. No. On the couch. No, don't stand on it. Put it on the couch.
T Junior: Couch.
Me: Yes. Thank you.
T Junior: Daydo.
Okay, so they are still a little one-sided, but I think we understand each other for the most part. But a conversation the other day had me wondering if maybe we need to branch out on where we go during the week.
I was getting T Junior ready for bed on his changing table, putting "buh pays" (butt paste) on him, a fresh diaper and his "mammies" (jammies). He was cooperating for the most part. Then, out of the blue, we had this conversation:
Me: Are you sleepy?
T Junior: Map (nap).
Me: It's bedtime, buddy.
T Junior: Groshee stowa (grocery store)?
Me: Um, no, it's bedtime.
T Junior: Costco?
Me, giggling: Nope. Not Costco. Bedtime.
T Junior: REI?
Me, full out laughing: Not tonight, dude. It's bedtime.
I have no idea why he thought it was time run errands, but obviously we need to go to some different stores!

OMG. I use to feel so bad about taking The Boy to the store all the time, lol. I use to worry he'd become a trucker ... or a Target cashier;)
Kerrie, print off some of this stuff about T Junior. Someday, it will be buried in a mountain of posts and you won't remember to even go back and look for it. My kids are way past this stage and your posts take me right back there. Reading about these ordinary, everyday moments you have with your son remind me that life is good. Really good. I know you appreciate these times already but believe me, one day these memories will be so far away. So do your future self a favour and preserve them.
Christna-LOL! What? :)
JM-Will do! I keep thinking I need to do that, but I better get on it. What I wanted to do is print them off and then put them in his scrapbook. But I guess I'd need to start on the scrapbook then! Maybe I'll make that a 2010 goal. :)
