Schäfer is officially two and a half! The two’s have their ups and downs. Since we’ve had a few down moments lately (most recently we’ve added screaming over food that is “broken”), I’ve started writing down some of the funny things he’s saying.
After receiving 2 potty treats, “Can I share my treats with my friends?” And he did. He took them outside and divided them three ways.
While riding his bike, “Can I start my mou tou che? (motorcycle) vroom! vroom!”
“I must turn on the key.” (turns on the imaginary key)
“Can I ring my bell?” (rings the imaginary bell)
“I’m going super fast!”
As he zooms by the neighbors, he proclaims, “Zhe shi wo de mou tou che.!” (This is my motorcycle!)
One morning he called for me really early. I rushed to him because I thought he might want to go potty. When I reached down to pick him up he said, “The pancakes are spicy! I can’t eat it!” He was still completely asleep.
While holding an ice cube, “Ohhhh! It’s a cold winter!”
After tasting a Sunkist Grapefruit soda, “This is spicy!”
“Can I watch a Baby I’m Stein?”
“May I have my flashlight please? I need to flash.”
“I’m clever. I’m good at spotting boats.”
Me: You’re such a big, big, big boy!
He: Can I have a pocket knife now?
We have this conversation every single morning without fail:
Me: What did you dream about last night?
He: Raffe driving a cement mixer in Thailand!
When he gets out of the bathtub he’ll say, “I need to go ice myself.” because he likes to ice skate around the living room.
Me: Thanks for helping! You’re a Really Useful Engine!
He: I’m not an engine! I’m a boy!
He: Can I have that? (pointing to my wedding ring)
Me: No. You can’t have that. Papa gave that to me. Someday you’ll marry a beautiful bride and you can give her a ring.
He: NO!
Me: Do you want to marry an ugly bride?
He: I just want to read books with you.
We were walking past an undergarment store. The mannequins weren’t wearing much. Schäfer said, “She’s getting ready to take her bath!”
When we got in a taxi which had a female taxi driver, Schäfer said, “You’re not a shu shu!” (you’re not an uncle!)
The next day we saw a lady riding on a the back of the garbage truck. Schäfer said, “She’s the garbage man!”
While looking at his sippy cup, “The milk is in the cup. It goes into the drinker. The drinker goes into my mouth.”
While rolling around on the couch, “I am a hamster!” Do you mean that you want a pet hamster? He replied, “No! I am a hamster!”
Me: Do you want a brother or a sister?
He: Adopted girl. Can I have a ladder to sleep up top? (because he saw a picture in a book of siblings with bunk beds)
Isn’t amazing what comes out of a 2 yo’s mouth? This is by far, my most favorite stage! You have a very clever boy!
Blessings,
Lisa
love these! especially the wedding ring one!
These are hilarious!! Everything here is spicy too with my kids. From toothpaste to candy. Who knew?
I think we are going to have to go to bunk beds too. CT wants a slide coming off the bed. Dream on kid!! ha ha! I don’t know what he is thinking.
I do not know if little di di is connected with any program, but we are SUPER excited he is in a foster home. Now to just hurry up and wait. I actually have about 5 books I’ve got to get through, several online seminars we have to do, and an infant CPR class. I feel like I’m back in college, but the hard work will have a much better ending than a grade.
