Don't make me use my bare hands on you.
Our daughter now regularly say 'Kyuse me' (wasn't sure how to spell that). But she thinks it means that once she says that, she has the floor.

Another thing that she tries from time to time that is not tolerated a bit, is to start making some loud noise while we talk. It is obvious that it is intentional. She usually gets to march down the 'trail of tears' to her room when she does this.

She picks up a lot of whiney habits from other kids when she goes to play group or mom's day out. That is always annoying and takes a day or two to get rid of only to come back again next time. sigh.

I am, however, very happy about having kids. My 16 month old is progressing wonderfully. She has lots of words and I can tell that she understands a great deal of what I say.

She can say 'book' usually while attempting to stick a book up my nose to get me to read it to her (which means holding her in my lap while she turns the pages).

She says 'puppy' in a very high pitched voice, the way you might speak when seeing a cute puppy. For Kitty she just starts meowing and for duck she starts quacking (kack, kack, kack).

She says 'mommy' and 'daddy' and 'gi-gi' for her grandma.

A 'cup' is a 'puck'. 'Coos-Coos' is 'Blues Clues' (especially cute).

And, of course, her favorite word is 'NO!'

And a bunch of others that I won't bore you with. I love having kids, sigh.

Congrats

I'm happy because the NFL has started, and next sunday I get to finally have a birthday dinner at my favorite resturant along with seeing The Lion King (The Play, not the movie)

It's a fabulous play - you will love it. Disney may have produced it - but there is nothing Disneyish about this production. It is very much for grownups (although the younger set can enjoy it too!)

I didn't think there was anything disneyish about the movie either if that was what you were implying. In fact, it's one of the non pixar disney animated movies that were not disneyish, the other being Beauty and the Beast.

Cute stories 38957! :)

Since we're on the subject:

When we first started using a particular lotion on my 2 1/2 year old daughter, she wanted no part of it. Since my daughter adores her maternal Grandmother and the particular brand of lotion was originally her Grandmother's "find", my wife started calling it "Grandma lotion". That changed everything and my daughter no longer argued about it so we have been calling this lotion "Grandma lotion" for well over a year now. Today when my wife picked up my daughter from daycare, a teacher asked my wife "what's Grandma lotion?" :rotfl:

Here's another (can you tell what my favorite conversational topic is...? :) ): My daughter had this small carrot eraser that looked like a typical orange carrot with some green leaves at the top. She accidentally broke of most of the green leaves. The carrot also has a face on it and later she asked about the broken leaves "What happened to his hair?" :rotfl: She looked all upset until I explained "he must have gotten a haircut" at which point she lit up with a big smile and exclaimed "Yes! He got a haircut!" :loling:

I am happy cos I just saw highlights of the US team in their first Champions Trophy competition ( Cricket ).

It was an amazing spectacle, they were all dressed in red, white and blue uniforms and most of the team looked like basketballers rather than cricketers, it was very strange.

But still, another step towards my supreme sporting wish, that in 10-20 yrs that more than 10 nations play international cricket, and maybe one day we will see the One-day or 20-Over version of the game in the olympics.


They got thrashed by the Aussies in their first game of course.


LOL, All the players are ex-pat from india, West Indies and pakistan, only one of the team was born in the US, Clayton Lambert plays for US, a former West Indian international

How about when they interviewed Leon Romero (the one team member born in the US) and he had the thickest Jamaican accent.

LOL.

What is so fun about hitting insects around with a bat? We've given the world baseball, c'mon, welcome to the 21st century. ;)

I have a not so cure baby story. We were in a restaurante and my daughter (3.5 earth years) gets back from the bathroom with mommy and so I lift my daughter up to sit on the other side of me in the booth table. Me picking her up must have squeezed her tummy a little because she let out a belch that would make any man proud. And it was right next to the people who were sitting next to us. I wasn't embarrassed as I was laughing too hard (and so was my wife).

Another cute thing she did last New Years Eve was refer to fire crackers as fire cookies. She just assumes that cookies and crackers are the same thing and starts running around talking about fire cookies. We still laugh about that.

Anyway, I better stop because I WILL sit here all day telling stories about my kids.

I've got an embarrassing one about my little one. Last week I was in line at the bank behind a man with a rather large belly. You guessed it my daughter piped up "what a large belly that man has" :blush:

It really suprised me because my husband is a large man and she never comments on his belly. (except to say it makes a great pillow!)

Right now my daughter is playing the "pliano"

'pliano'

That sounds right, my daughter likes to get 'comfortal' in bed.

Oh - and I mustn't forget her favorite two phrases of the month "that's not fair" and "I'm fust - er-ated" (emphasis on the separation between the syllables) :lol:

And some of us would listen all day, too. :)

Our soon-to-be-three-year old used to call her watercup 'wabbacup.' Whenever we pass by lakes or ponds, she used to say 'big wabbacup!' We told her that those were God's wabbacups. ;)

O-kay, last one. My wife would tell my daughter that she was getting on her (my wife's) nerves. This became "I'm getting nervous with you" or "you're (or this is) making me nervous".

Oh and when she was littler and just learning to talk, she would see me go to the back door and holler at the dogs to get them to stop barking and she would follow me and beat on the door window and yell "stop barkin, puppies". It got to where I didn't even have to get up to tell the dogs to be quiet. It was hilarious, I wish I had it on tape, she is very hard to tape though.

Oh, and "I don't know" is "I can't know" for some reason.

O-kay, last three.
