I did another blog posting a while ago about some of the silly things Wee Man says and does, and I figured as I get a chunk of them written down again I will continue to post from time to time. These things are just too funny not too record....I want to remember them years from now! These are the latest silly things, again in no particular order:
- Wee Man has a fascination with our remotes (what toddler does not?!) and so when we got rid of an old stereo a while back, we decided to keep the remote for him - removed the batteries - and it is his own special remote. The other day I was watching a show and he wasn't interested. He kept asking me for "news" or "wedder" (weather) and I kept telling him I was watching a show and when it was done we'd find him his show (he's obsessed with news and the Weather Network)! That wasn't good enough, so he went into the toy box and pulled out his special remote. Now, a few weeks ago our TV remote wasn't working so well as the batteries were dying so when it wouldn't do what we were trying to get it to do both my husband or I would smack it against our leg and try again. Wee Man was attempting to change the channel with his special remote and looked at me and said "no work", then he smacked it against his leg and tried again. I had to laugh. They really do watch everything we do, don't they?!
- My mom ("Grannie") and step-father ("Papa") were in Mexico a short time ago on a beach holiday. As we usually see them at least once a week Wee Man was asking about them one of the days that week and I explained we wouldn't see them for a little while because they were on holiday at the beach. Later that same week we were on our way to his other grandparent's house (my in laws) for a visit and part of the way there in the car wee man asked about "Grannie?". I explained we wouldn't see her for a little while because she was on holiday. He right away perked up with "beach?" I couldn't believe he'd remembered our conversation from a few days ago. He's never been to a beach, so I didn't expect that word would resonate with him. He kept talking all week about "Grannie, Papa" and the "Beach"! It was really cute.
- My Dad is a handy sort of guy, by trade and experience, so he is kind enough to come over on occasion to help us fix one thing or another if we find we are in need of a pair of skilled hands for a repair that we aren't comfortable with doing ourselves! One of the last times he was here fixing something Wee Man was awake and old enough to understand what Grandpa was doing (at the time it was a leak in a pipe going from our hot water heater to the humidifier). So when we talk about the play tools Wee Man has in his toy box Grandpa often comes up! The other day we were playing with some toys and a Lightning McQueen car he has wasn't working the way that it should (batteries power the head and tail lights on the vehicle when you push a button and must have died) so he came to me and told me it was "bro-ten" (broken). I looked at it and noticed it takes cell batteries - like a watch battery - and said I couldn't fix it because I didn't have the right batteries. He looked at the car, looked back at me and said "Gampa fix?"!
- I'm not sure if I've talked about them yet in this blog, but we have two cats in our home. Henry and Che are just over a year old and one of the highlights of Wee Man's life. He loves them! They are also very mischievous (as they are pretty much still kittens) and get into all sorts of trouble. One of the biggest no-nos in our home is a cat on the kitchen counter. I think it's dirty and disgusting and it's definitely not allowed. We've tried almost everything to discipline them and have found that they respond the best when sprayed with a water bottle. So we have one that sits on the counter so we can grab it quick if we need it. The other day Henry was up on the counter while I had nipped into another room quick while the kids were playing. I come back out and Wee Man is holding the spray bottle pointed at the counter and yelling "Hen-wy bad. Down". Too funny!
- Wee Man has had a bad cold over the past few days and his normally huge and adventurous appetite is down to nothing, so we've been trying to offer him anything in hopes that something might grab his interest. I was pouring myself a bowl of cereal and I asked if he'd like to try some cereal with milk. He looked at me and went over to his highchair and said "try a bowl". It was just too cute. I love that he's trying sentences more and more these days and that he's not just parroting ours, but coming up with his own creative combination of words to make adorable little sentences! :-)
