Tiny Conversationalist

Jed is truly hilarious and absolutely precious with his verbal skills.  His little sayings and phrases make me smile so many times each day.  I have been jotting down some of the things he says and I'm just going to dump them all right here....

 

He has started saying, "that makes sense."  The first time I heard him say it our conversation went like this:

Jed: Where's EB going?

Mommy:  She's going to go shoot a bow and arrow (archery practice).

Jed: Why?

Mommy:  Because when you get big like EB you get to do cool things.

Jed:  That makes sense.

 

When he wants to snuggle or for me to pick him up he says, "Mommy, hold me tight".

Mommy:  How is your bath water?  Not too hot, not too cold?  What's it feel like?
Jed:  Garlic bread.
Mommy:  Garlic bread???
Jed:  (big grin) I being a stinker.

Jed likes to tell me, "don't worry, Mommy".  Like today I told him to take one bite of his food at a time and not put it all in his mouth at once and he replied, "don't worry, Mommy."  Every now and then he will throw this phrase out in a random way, but mostly he uses it in context.

When I leave for school in the morning I go in to tell him that I love him and he says, "yuv you, Mommy.  Be carful outside."
He also hugs me tight and says, "yuv Mommy.  Best in the world." 
Jed is on top of things whenever someone sneezes with a big, "bless you". 

 

He says, "I'm happy.  Mommy makes me happy".  Ahhhh....this kid knows all the right things to say.

After I tell him what we are going to do he likes to say, "that sounds good".  And when he's in a good mood he says, "I be nice to Daddy and Mommy and Pickles and EB.  I be nice everybody!"

 

Somehow he's picked up the phrase stinking fill in this blank with whatever pops into his head.  So for example he's looking for a plastic Easter egg in his toy basket he says, "where's stinking egg?"  Or he is obsessed with ghosts still from Halloween and we keep telling him that Halloween is over and he says, "no stinking ghosts anymore." (He says this one all the time.) 

 

This furry little orange guy makes his way to Jed's bath no matter where it is.  Pickle's is so fascinated with bath time.
