Dylan-isms

So it's been almost 9 months since my last update - wow. Apparently I got a little sidetracked. Not long after the previous entry we took a break from our preschool work. Dylan wasn't catching it, we were both frustrated & I ended up having to go back to work. Just recently we have started schooling again, with a simpler program by the creators of Letter of the Week. It is a preschool prep course called http://letteroftheweek.com/Preparatory.html. So far we are really enjoying it. But more on that later. Right now I want to share some Dylan-isms.

First, I have to say that 2 1/2 is fun. He's so funny & he is starting to get things, but he is still such a baby in some areas. One area I have noticed this the most is in his speech. He says the most hysterical things, sometimes on purpose & sometimes out of "babyness." I want to share some with you:

• "I not can't find it" - I can't find it.
• "Slippers-sippairs" - The Berenstine Bears
• "Buzz take Woody spot. My daddy telled me so." Apparently Derrick told Dylan that Buzz took Woody's spot in the Toy Story movie. Derrick does not remember this conversation. 

Here's an exchange between Dylan & me this morning:

Dylan: We eat pillows?

Mama: No, we don't eat pillows.

D: We eat blankies?

M: No, we don't eat blankies.

D: We chew blankies? 

M: No...well, I guess you do.

D: Mama chew a blankie?

M: Nope, I don't chew a blankie.

D: Mama have a Geekie (Dylan's stuffed monkey)

M: Nope, Mama doesn't have a Geekie.

D: That sad, Mama. That sad. 

What a nut! We love how funny & goofy & smart he is getting. He makes us laugh every day & we are thankful for it!
