We’ve been working hard on the “please” and “thank you” concept with the kid. He’s doing pretty well.
He’s also at the stage where he imitates everything we say. For example, when we run out of something, like milk or dog food, he’ll say, “Milk all gone”. I respond with the usual, “Yep, we’ll have to go to the store to get more milk” (or more dog food, or whatever). This is almost always followed by, “Oh boy (I have no idea where he picked this up!). Go bye bye car. Go store, get more milk.” It’s pretty cute.
Anyhow, tonight when I put the kid to bed, I remarked how his scab (aka boo-boo) had finally come off. Here’s our dialog:
Me: “Look, sweetie! Your boo-boo is all gone!”
Kid examines his knee up close (cause 2-year-olds can put their eye up to their knee without giving it a second thought).
Kid (very serious): “Ma-ma. Go to store. Get new boo-boo knee.”
Me: “Ummm…Well, honey, they don’t sell boo-boos at the store. And it’s a good thing your boo-boo is gone. It means you’re all better.”
Kid: “Ma-maaa. Go to store. Get new boo-boo knee. Peas (which is please).”
Well, at least he said please…
Have a nice weekend everyone!

Thanks for commenting on my blog! I’ve added you to my Blogroll, and I’m looking forward to reading your posts!
Kids come up with the strangest things sometimes … When my niece was 2, she used to refer to Saturdays and Sundays as “Daddy all the way” days because my brother-in-law was home from work with them. Nobody knows where she came up with that one … that’s just what she thought up in her own little head.
I feel like we get less creative as we age.

I totally agree that we get less creative as we age, although with the kid I’m starting to recall how to think outside of the box a little. I guess that’s what 20+ years of schooling will do to you!
Thanks for adding me to your blogroll. I keep meaning to update mine, and now I have some additional incentive
