The things my toddler says

I don't know where my 2.5yr old comes up with half the things he says.
Lately he has been greeting every morning with "it's a great day!".
Yesterday morning he told me it was a great day (looking out the window at the darkness of 6am) and when the sun came up, added, "Good morning sun. How are you doing today? Are you ready to go?"
Last night as I was trying to put him to bed, he kept referring to the window and talking about the moon and the stars. At one point he looked out the window and said "I'll help you move the stars out of the sky" (as if he was talking to the sky).
After that we counted to 5 in Spanish....................................... :O (Mom in awe)

Lachlan has also taken to warming up his voice. We sing "la la la la la la la" and then move to "me me me me me me me" and finally "you you you you you you you". He's getting pretty good at being in tune!
I guess I can take credit for that since I have been singing to him daily and nightly since he was born. At bedtime we sing as we listen to instrumental lullabies (a CD he has been listening to since he was 7 months old). His favorite songs are tunes I have made up for nursery rhymes and stories (Jack and Jill, Hey Diddle Diddle, Love You Forever, Mortimer's chant).

Of course Lach also has some favorite "saucy" sayings (for which he gets time outs for). If he is mad he might say "No you BE QUIET!" or "No you STAY HERE!" (and then closes the door leaving you in the room alone), "No I don't like it!"......................... the other day I arrived to pick him up from the sitter and when he saw me proceeded to scold me for being there and said "Momma, you go in a time out!" The sitter and I laughed in our shirts so he wouldn't see our reactions. There was also the time he sat on the couch and randomly started yelling "shit! shit! shit! shit! shit!". They really are like little sponges and pick up everything!
