Tonight he informed me that he wanted to brush his teeth.
I said, "No, you can brush your teeth later."
He asserted, "Brush my teeth!"
I responded, "G, Mama said No. You can brush your teeth later."
Pointing & gesturing to the other room: "Brush my teeth! Brush my teeth!"
(Lightbulb suddenly piercing the darkness)
Me: "G, what do you... Oh... you want mac and cheese..."
Because, you know, "Brush my teeth" and "Mac and cheese" sound exactly the same.
I realized that I needed to inform the blogging community about this discovery, so I got my List of Ideas (Scrap of Paper in a Random Pile)... and learned that I had already written myself a note: "Brush my teeth"="Mac and Cheese."
G may be taking a while to learn enunciation. But I'm not moving any faster in the listening comprehension department.
Oh - also on my List of Ideas was this note: "People"="PooPoo." Now THAT would have made a story worth blogging about.
Note to self: read note to self.
ReplyDeletePs: this picture of G compared to the one you sent when he came home is such a huge difference. I noticed how young he looks today when I passed it on my fridge. Now seeing this it's like he's grown from 18 months to 4.
