Conversations with a Toddler

Andrew really cracks me up these day. He's always been a funny guy, but now I'm just amazed at what he tells me.

We were eating dinner one night and Andrew asked me about Daddy and why he wasn't home yet. Jason was working a bit later than usual and was on his way home. The kids were starving so we went ahead with dinner.

Andrew: Where Daddy?
Me: He's on his way home. He had to finish something at work.
A: At Lowe's?

(Lowe's is Andrew's new obsession...)

Me: No, he's not at Lowe's right now.
A: Andrew go Lowe's. Daddy go Lowe's.
Me: You want to go to Lowe's with Daddy?
A: Mmhmm. Get dinner.
Me: What? You can't eat dinner at Lowe's, silly.
A: No, Mama.

(apparently I'm the silly one...)

A: Andrew and Daddy go dinner. Eat "case dia" (I'm trying to type it how he says...he wants a quesadilla)
Me: Oh, sure. You and Daddy can do have dinner and then go to Lowe's one day.
A: Tomorrow?
Me: Maybe.
A: Saturday?
Me: Maybe.

(now he tilts his head to the side and sighs...)

A: Mama....



LOL gotta love talking with a toddler.  :)

No, I don't know what, "Mas blah da birs mm eee o!" means...

WHAT?!

I really wish Andrew would hurry up and start speaking real words. He understand EVERYTHING we say, but we are slowly starting to understand him. I know that part of that title has the words "ThoMAS" and "birds" in it, but what he is talking about...I don't have a clue. I also know that he is telling me the letters M, E, and O. But, again, not sure what that is all about. It really hurts my head to try and figure it out, too. It doesn't help that he repeats the EXACT SAME THING either.

But, even though I don't understand what that was all about, I now have a list of things that he tries to say that I really do understand. Let's see if you know what these words are:

cheeros
awful
diedoor
didan
shh
dow
cher
caple
mow

Any thoughts? Give up? Ok, I will tell you :)

Cheerios
Waffle
Dinosaur
Dino Dan
Shoes
Down
Chair
Apple
More

Im going to try and get a video of him "talking" in the next few days. He has some great stories to share. But, you have to remember to listen very carefully.
