Why?
It's started.
Three times this past week I have said something or other to our boy Jackson in the course of a conversation and he has replied, "Why?" When I heard that word my eyeballs spontaneously melted and rolled down my face.
I am not ready for The Why yet. I need a few more months! He's not supposed to be asking that until he's 3! I feel gypped! Why am I using so many exclamation points?!
However, the good thing about The Why is it shows how far his language has come. Shortly before he turned 2, I was worried because he wasn't even saying two-word combinations. But just yesterday, he said to me, "Ma go home, work in office." Subject, verb, compound sentence -- I think he's doing fine in the language department now. (Ma is what he calls Grandma.)
But he still says really cute stuff too, which I know will go away faster than I can write them down.
"Jack go home, play chicken." -- He calls his little play kitchen "chicken."
Applesaucer -- Emmie's exersaucer.
Narnie -- Aunt Marnie.
Fansin -- Aunt Marnie's dog, Madison.
Miss Wiz -- His teacher, Miss Liz.
Noodle cheese -- macaroni and cheese.
Mook -- Milk, different from "Guk," which is what he called it for a long time.
Fwim Shrunks -- Swim trunks.
Peepot -- Pizza.
Twenty-eleven -- The number he says after 22 every time he counts.
Love you too -- How he says "I love you," even when he says it first.

The toddler I used to nanny loved saying "Fire Truck" with his pacifier in his mouth. mostly because it caused people too look at him with their eyes bugged and then ask him what he said. So he obviously knew what we heard was something that he wasn't supposed to be saying...
OOooooh, Ethan calls "kitchen", "chicken", too!!! It's so stinking cute.
