Officer Flossy Joes



Anyone who has spent any amount of time with my son knows how much he likes to talk. The reality is that it is INCESSANT!! From the moment he wakes up to the final suck of his pacifier before he drifts off to sleep...he spends EVERY second narrating his life...


First thing in the morning...

"Brody's awake"
"Mommy, music off" (he calls his noisemaker "music")
"Brody's pacifier and blankie away"
"Mommy hold Brody"
"Mommy take Brody potty"
"Daddy's at work"
"Baby Taryn's sleeping"
"Mommy get you cereal...I hungry"


...And that's just the first 10 seconds of him being awake!



But my favorite words in his ever-expanding vocabulary are the familiar words that take the place of those that are unfamiliar to him.


Sometimes it's confusing...

"Bing's tired" (which actually means Bing's tire - his squeaky, chew toy)


Sometimes it's embarrassing...

"Hi Miss Dragon!" (which is the first thing he said to Miss Megan when she came over to babysit)


And sometimes it's just a priceless gem...
"More Officer Flossy Joes, please!" (which all you Richard Scarry fans might recognize as the police fox who is always chasing Dingo Dog - morphed into what should be sloppy joes)

Just want to remind you of a quote from before you were even pregnant, "I just know I'm going to have boys and they will be just as crazy and hyperactive as their father." You called it sister! He's pretty non-stop, huh?
