all the talking

[brachysira]

Probably many of your children have done this for a while, but my child is suddenly full of colloquialisms.  She's all like, "I couldn't believe my eyes" and "this is taking forever!"  It cracks me up.  She also has started saying "but mo-om" in two syllables, which is amusing now but perhaps not forever.  


What cute things is your 3 year-old doing and saying?

Yes!! Talking to z is like talking to a little adult. He says "you gotta be kidding me" uses words like probably and actually. He is really really verbal and never stops talking. I have a million other cute/ funny things I just can't think of any off the top of my head right now

Oh and he just started saying "I love you too" back to us - talk about melting your heart!!

Heh, my child also says "actually" and always with a big know-y facial expression and a hand gesture. Very cute. 3.5 > 3 >> 2. Love how much fun my kid is these days.

He has an amusing vocabulary. He recently discovered "unfortunately." He will say, "Wew, I weawy wanted dat toy but, unfortunately, it's not Chwistmas."
He also loves "frustrated." Today we went on a long walk and he told me that his broken leg was getting frustrated.

Frustrated is an awesome word . I'm going to use it and see if z picks it up

"Gosh dang it!!" when she gets mad or frustrated.
"DD1, you are dwiving me up ze wall!" (no clue where she might have heard that one ::cough, cough:: )

DD1 does the "actually" all the time. It's not quite so cute anymore!! haha!

When I tell DD not to do something, she'll say "well, I'm probably going to." At least she's honest!

Mac says 'Mom! You're not going to believe this! Come see (insert random object in random place)". His verbal skills are amazing, he's always talking and doesn't stop.

It's also really cute when Hunter is getting into something and Mac runs over and says something along the lines of 'Hunter you little punk! Leave me alone, you're being a butt'.

Well, I'm glad my child hasn't picked up anything mean to call her brother. She tries to insult her him, but it's more like, "you silly face."

My child also uses frustrated, and I guess that's good, but it usually is when we've told her she can't do something and she's stomping around pouting so it's not exactly cute.

Just this morning I got "mommy have a nice day". "Now you need to tell me thank you and then I say your welcome" lol. Then "now mommy you need to tell me z have a nice day". So we had a full have a nice day conversation. I assume they are working on daily conversation phrases at daycare

[pinkie]

Z's stomach was growling last night so we had a big conversation about what it was. This morning he told me "my belly is grumbling again mommy I need to eat breakfast and then it will stop".

What amazes me about this age is how we explain something or use a word once and then he uses it appropriately on his own a few days later

Elliott calls DD2 "girl" when he gets frustrated with her, lol. Like, Get out of the way, girl!

He's started calling DS2 "boy" in the same thread.

I thought of you all today when DS2 sampled something at Costco and said, "I don't care for this. No thank you please."
