    Mr W (24 mos) still has his pacifier for sleeping.

    This morning he was asking for it while flipping through his books.

    "I want my B! Where is my B?" he said.

    "W-, do you REALLY want your B?" I asked?

    "Yep!" he said.

    "I'll show you your B!" I replied.

    I grabbed a book of his that had a letter on one page with objects on the other. I flipped backwards from F, saying
    "That is not your B!" each time.

    When we got to the B page, I said, "There is your B!"

    He just cracked up and said, "DAD!!!"

    Here's a cute story. I was just reminded of this by reading another thread. When DD was about 4 or 5. We did alot of car time. She would play architect. She would ask me what type of building I wanted then we would brainstorm for ideas together. Usually these were themed place like a whole building just for kids to go and have fun- jumping room, icecream shop ect. I still have a collection of these somewhere. I should look for those. I hope someone here tries this too.

    today my DD3 brought home a bear she painted at a pottery place and I asked her what she was going to call him and she said, "Ursa minor" and started laughing vigorously and then said, well, he is a little bear! I don't think her joke would be appreciated by most three or four year olds...

    DD just turned 5..."Mom, I've been thinking a lot about it, and I believe in the Big Bang Theory"... Said at age 4 "Mom, I love you more than atoms" Also at age 4 "Mom, I'm extracting DNA from the cat" (Poor cat!!!) "I feel so bright that I don't even need a light!" "So what is the VERY last number? If there actually is infinity, than my hypothesis is there never will be a last and that is SO COOL!!!..." Oh, the joy of these little ones...LOVE all of your posts everyone!!! It's great to share with people who UNDERSTAND lol smile

    We played the word for a letter game today in the car with mr W. (24 mos)

    "What word begins with A?" we would ask him.

    "Apple." so goes his response.

    etc.

    ...

    All the way to L.

    "What begins with L?"

    "Lonesome."


    I don't know what to say.

    Mr. W sounds like a delight to be around!

    Have you played, "I see something that starts with" as a car game? Right around then is when I noticed DS liked to play that one, we would usually start with I see something that starts with M, and he would say Mommy.

    My favorite of the week here was a few days ago DS2.8s squats down over a book with "World" in the title and says, "Look I am sitting on top of the world".

    I just want to share this moment with my 16-mth old DS:

    Yesterday, I told Buddy that we were going to visit a pet store and look at fish. We read a couple books about fish and talked about them. About twenty minutes later, I grabbed a pile of laundry to throw into the wash before we left and noticed that the house was really quiet (BAD TODDLER SIGN). When I found Buddy, he was in the bathroom, and he had put every toy fish he owns into the toilet.

    "Buddy, you know that we do NOT put toys in the potty. No toys in the potty."

    He said, "Mama! Fish need water, Mama."

    My 4 yr old likes to make people laugh. So when an aunt talked about being allergic to cats, my daughter replied, "I'm allergic to stinky booties." She also told me the other day that something she heard on television was asinine.
