He's feeling his oats, got a bit of a swagger to his step, is taking charge and is not afraid to let you know it. He's also about 6 weeks away from being three years old.
This weekend, he says to his mother:
"Mamma, go sit couch. You in time out. You trouble!"
Last night, getting ready for bed, it was my turn:
BC: Pappa, you no drink my milk. You drink my milk, police come, take you away put you in jail.Me: Why would they put me in jail?
BC: You drink me milk, you get sick. [Looks defiantly at me and says with emphasis] That is mine reason.
Me: Got it. Don't drink your milk. Check.
Also, two nights ago, we had the following exchange:
Me: Boy Child, do not push your sister off that stool! You could hurt her!BC: [Outrage written all over his face; shaking his finger at me for emphasis] NO. SAY. THAT. WORD. ME!!!!
Me: What word, honey? What word are you objecting to?
BC: [Intense concentration, pause] Me no know what word. Me no ha'member.
Me: Well, if you can't tell me the word, how can I not say it?
BC: [sighs dejectedly] Me know.
I think its gonna be a long ride. Fun, but long.

Just the other day he wanted me to go squash a bug, and I apparently was not moving fast enough. He said "Come squish bug.... Daddy, bug not going away".
Posted by: Oorgo at January 10, 2006 03:43 PMI'm laughing cause my 8-weeks from 3 year old sounds much the same. He has begun the audible grunt/sigh when something doesn't go his way and points and wags his finger at me when mama has been bad! I love it. I absolutely love it.

Posted by: Rachel Ann at January 11, 2006 04:24 PMAwww! Love it! This just cracked me up:
"Me: Well, if you can't tell me the word, how can I not say it?
BC: [sighs dejectedly] Me know."
