Today my son asked me to define the word 'accident' to him. I did and followed up with teaching him what 'on purpose' meant as well.
I'm here to tell you that everything he does today is followed up with these two words: on purpose.
"Look Mom, I'm riding this bike on purpose."
"Look, Mom, I'm eating on purpose."
"Can you seeeeeee that I'm picking up this crayon on puuuurpooose?!?"
Love those days. It could be like a word of the day until grandaddy teaches him "the boo boo dance", and they use it out loud at Walmart.
ReplyDeleteOH my gosh, Kenya...we taught our toddler the proper word for his 'anatomy' because he was calling it the wrong thing. Worst idea EVER! That word pops up at THE most inopportune times, lolol
DeleteThis happens all the time here! When we teach Corinne something new she harps on it all day until we want to pull our hair out!
ReplyDeleteNo idea what you mean... (whistling innocently and trying to hide the smile). :)
DeleteThat's kind of how we fellows learn, especially when women teach us something. We repeat it nonstop in hopes for some sort of affirmation or show of appreciation.
ReplyDeleteThat's why we do this. On purpose.
bwuahahahaha
Deletethe male clan sticking together even when they're this young... i love it!

So cute. And you must be very good at teaching him words, cause it is sticking!
ReplyDeleteBoy, did it stick. ;o) All kidding aside, one of the best things about toddlers is they love to learn. :)
DeleteThat's adorable! I have not hit that stage yet with my oldest, but it sounds hysterical! What a doll your son is!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tracy. I'm so happy you came to visit. I thought that picture I commented on at your blog earlier was really, really cool! I meant it when I said you could enter it in a contest, it's a smile-producer, for sure (all of the little ones w/the lone gentleman in the background). :)
DeleteSo funny! My 4 year old is going through a "LOOK AT ME!" and "ISN'T THAT FUNNY MOM?" stage. I got him a shirt that says, "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH." So true, he never stops talking!
