B's favorite color. Ever since he was two, he has been very particular about his favorite color. The color of sunshine, or as he would call it: “Ye-wow.” Here is B in his favorite hat. Favorite jacket. Cowboy hat. Favorite car. All ye-wow.
And recently, he announced: “Mommy, I want to have a big, ye-wow, race car party for my birthday!”
Learning and using grown-up phrases. B definitely benefits from having an older sibling by learning to use rather grown-up phrases. Ever since he was barely three, he was able to use rather adult phrases in right context. Example:
Me: “B, you need to come and wash your hands.” -- Me
B: “No, Mommy, I’m gooood!”
Concept of time. In B's world, there are only three sets of times:
1. Today: something that happens in the next few minutes. e.g.
B: Can we go to the park?
Me: Yes, later.
B (with his shoes on): I'm ready!Me: I said later.
B (whining): But you said I can go to-day!
2. Yesterday: anything that happens before that moment. it doesn't matter if it happened a year ago or an hour ago; it's all yesterday to B.
3. Tomorrow: anything that happens after the moment.
Trying to talk like the Brits. He heard the phrase "ta-ta" on one of the TV shows, and thought it was the most hilarious thing ever said. So much so that he started using the phrase. Except instead of saying "ta-ta," he says "tee-tee".
Till next time; tee-tee for now.
