Every day is a new adventure with our 3.
When my oldest was little she would always say, "I'm having issues" whenever she was having a problem with something.
My 2 1/2 year-old (a boy) is full into daredevil mode. It's kinda funny when he hurts himself (not bad, just a little boo-boo), he says (in a 2 1/2 year-old voice), "ow-ow-ow-ow-ow..."
Oh yeah, I don't know where he got the idea, but he is into prat-falls (sp?). He climbs to the top of the stairs and pretends to fall down the stairs (slow-motion, about one step every 3-5 seconds). It reminds me of the old Eddie Murphy bit about his Aunt falling down the stairs. It is a bunch of "ow's" and "oohh's" with a "help, I'm falling down the stairs" mixed in. He then gets to the last step, stops and then launches himself forward into a final, fake fall. We just sat there laughing. He then realized he had an audience so he just went back up an did again and again and again. (yes, I had to break out the camcorder for this one).
And when he gets in trouble he runs to the other parent. He got in trouble with my wife earlier today and got a light spank. His response was to run all the way down to the basement (where my office is) and screams, "Daaaadddddyyyy......mommy 'panked my butt!"
Not to be left out, the 1 year-old learned how to say boo-boo (and what it meant). Since she is walking for the first time, there is a bunch of booooo-booooo's. Plus, when she sees that SpongeBob (my favorite as well) is coming on, she runs around with her hands up saying, "Ba...ba....ba"
Gawd they are fun (most of the time)...
