The power of words.
Thursday, January 31, 2008 at 01:18AM Okay, seriously, someone flipped a switch on my 2.5 year old recently and the kid is just high on the power of words. I know plenty of other toddlers who talk more at this age and all that, but the kid just makes me smile. He's so dang bossy now that he knows using the actual words gets results. It's like he'd just been storing them all up and suddenly decided to try using them instead of just pointing and whining. "Mommy, sit here. Play. Now," says he. How can you resist? Of course, we still can't get him to say his own name, though I suspect that's more just stubbornness on his part. He gets a kick out of saying "Baby!" instead and knows we want him to say "Micah." Maybe it's a power thing. ;)
In related Micah adorability, the kid is definitely mine. I casually asked him today "What should we do for dinner tonight?" His reply? "Eat." Duh. Nathan just laughed and told me it served me right. He often asks me "What should we eat?" and my reply is usually something like "food" or "something edible." Guess that's what I get, eh?
