Parson-isms - Update

Parson is now 20 1/2 months old and he is speaking pretty darn well...when he wants to. So he has a few funny things that make us laugh all the time....

Parson loves wagon rides. When he wants to go on a wagon ride...he comes up to you and yells "WEE WEE PEEZZ" Now to us this means wagon ride...to any other person, they would be running him to the potty. Why he calls it a "wee wee" and not a wagon beats me...so we are trying to gently guide him to use the proper word :P

We are getting ready to potty train...by ready I mean reading books, practicing sitting on the potty, flushing, and our potty chart is hung. Regardless if you flush a tissue down the toilet or any other thing...Parson yells "Bye Bye Poo Poo!" Taking him to the bathroom with me in public is an adventure for sure...some people would call this pay back :)

This is not really an "ism" but it made us laugh. Parson was watching Sesame Street after his nap today and Elmo was talking about pets. Specifically rubbing his friends pet dogs belly. Well when Elmo said "I love to pet the dogs belly" Parson lifted his shirt, held it in his teeth and proceeded to rub his belly with both hands.

Parsons current favorite color is purple. He is obsessed with all things Sesame Street and is in LOVE with Elmo, cookie monster, and Grover.

He sits at the big boy table 90% of the time now...not in his high chair.

He received a big stuffed dog for a gift this Christmas and he loves to lay on it and relax.

He loves to play in clean laundry...he will take all of the clean laundry out of the basket...climb in  and then pull all of the clean laundry back into the basket with him.

The toddler life is full of things that take lots of explanation and time, things we as parents wish we could rush through. Full of tantrums and the word "NO". It is moments like this that make a parents heart smile and make all those hair pulling moments worth it.
