Quotes Tuesday
This post is all about our son Seb, who is a couple of months short of 4.5 years old.
Last week when I made oatmeal for breakfast, he protested and said, “Mama, I don’t want to eat oatmeal. It looks like poop.”

A song for your enjoyment. Sung to the tunes of… I have no idea what the official song title is. He was eating apples at the time, and started being silly:
“Apple apple what do you see?
I see a booboo* looking at me.
Booboo booboo what do you see?
I see a poopie** looking at me.
Poopie poopie what do you see?
I see a deedoo* looking at me.
Deedoo deedoo what do you see?
I see a peep looking at me.”
I’m not sure if he knows the actual meaning of peep, or if that’s just a coincidental word that he thinks rhymes. He LOVES rhyming; they have been doing a lot of that at preschool.
Speaking of rhyming… we were in the van (yes I have a van, and I love driving it), when he blurted out “truck… duck… muck… puck…” Luckily he didn’t say the F word.
* He likes to make up silly, funny, nonsense words. Oh may you always find humor in life and be happy.
** The boy is obsessed with potty mouth words, and thinks these types of words are absolutely hilarious. I suppose it is normal for his age?!

Since I have three boys (8, 10, and 39) I can tell you that the obsession with potty words starts when they start talking and ends fifteen minutes after clinical death. Sorry.

Hahaha. He’s adorable! It’s perfectly normal for boys. I’d have to agree with Melissa on this one. I used to teach kindergarten, and I, Ms. Potty Mouth, was aghast at the things coming out of the mouths of babes.

I feel the need to add that I’ve never cursed in front of a child in my life. Heh.
