Grandkids are the Greatest!!

I got to spend a week with Jonathan and Dad a few days ago. What a blast! Got to spend a couple of days with Mark on the way to and from Jonathan's. Such fun. Oh yes, I got to see various parents too. They are fun too. But back to the boys.

I am amazed at the language patterns of 2 year olds. Like their mothers, both boys are very verbal. They now say everything. Can't really post a list of their words cause they say all of them--some of them we wish they hadn't yet learned. I think it is neat that though they don't see each other that much, they have similar word abberations. For example, each of them calls diaper "pi-dew" though I noticed Jonathan switching it properly a time or 2. For a while, Jeep was Peej but now it seems to have changed. Grandpa is Paw Paw or Pap Pap depending on the time. Mostly now, for both boys it is Paw Paw (as in animals' feet). Sorry David.

Cutest thing though, Mark did correct Jonathan's pronouncing of Cooper truck: each time it was said in the former manner, Mark would say "Pick up truck." Personally, I prefer Cooper truck. Oh well. Jonathan is just as likely to correct Mark also. wonder if all 2 year olds have the same patterns.... I don't do a lot with that age so am not sure.

One of the cutest things that happened to me on my visit was one time that i was putting J. to bed. As trudged down the stairs the plaintive cry came from the room where he doesn't sleep on the bed but on the floor, "Le' me outta here!" So funny to me! I almost did (but restrained myself!). And, one last thing (maybe) Remeber the time J's Dad was telling about what Daddy says (Aw Shucks!) , and what Mommy says (A-Mess)? Well, Grandma Says, "AAAAAAA-Men!".
