Ethanisms

Ethan's verbal skills continue to grow in all kinds of new and interesting ways.  Here's a few fun phrases from recent days.

- "I dreamed last night that there was a tiny grinch in our house trying to steal our Christmas.  But he was a fake grinch and he couldn't get our stuff because he was magnical and he was stuck to the fridgerator."  Magnical meaning magnetic.  Magnet is also pronounced magnic around here.

- Jody: "Ethan, be careful with that Easter Egg Dye."
- Ethan: "Why?  If it spills on the counter is it stayable?"  Meaning, does it stain?

- At dinner, I request that Ethan eat his lentil soup.  He says, "Yum!  It's so delicious.  Can we save it so I can have some tomorrow?"  This is his way of saying that he appreciates my effort and wants to like it but does not actually like it.  I say, "There's plenty!  You can eat your whole bowl tonight and still have enough for tomorrow!"  This is a transparent ploy to get him to eat the soup, to which he replies, "Hurray but ... "

- "Are these re-sposable?"  This means reusable, as opposed to disposable.

- He calls us Jody and Jeremy.  Sometimes when I say "Daddy" he clarifies, "You mean Jeremy?"
