Mr. Chatterbox

Micah has been cracking me up and amazing me with his vocabulary and way of talking. I just never know what he will say next. He loves to talk to people wherever we go and narrates our entire day. If only I could control his volume level... Here's some of his recent quotes that have made me chuckle.

• After getting himself in my shoes the other night, Micah walked down the hallway and announced "I going to store... I getting groceries... I be right back...See you later!"

• "Batman needs to go in bathroom. He need a spanking." --Can you tell discipline has been a big issue in our house lately?? And let me tell you, I fear no approach is working for this kid! Sigh.

• "Oh my goodness, that's a lot of pennies!" he exclaimed as he emptied out his piggy bank today.

• "I having a good time!" is a common phrase right now.

• "Here Mom, that's a cute one," he said as he handed me a fire truck hat to wear. --Note that he has started calling me "Mom" this week. I have not had issues with him growing up on me...until now. Sniff Sniff.

• A few weeks back, I went to get him out of his crib in the morning, and the first thing he said with a big smile on his face was "Want some coffee, mommy? Want some donuts?"--already trying to manipulate me; I couldn't believe it!

• "I want it louder" is also a common phrase right now when I put on his CD for nap time or bed time. The other day I got out of the shower to find the door to his room shut and rap-style music blaring inside. He had managed to turn the radio on and turn the volume up to a ridiculously loud level. When I opened the door he was happily playing with puzzles on the floor. I told him the music was really loud and his response was "I like music louder." Oh my.
