Talking Points

Out of nowhere I suddenly went from communicating in caveman-ese to full sentences. I have even started referring to myself as "I" instead of "Daniel". Some of the all-time favorite phrases have been.... "It is dark and night-night time. The moon took away the sun", "There is smoke in the kitchen at Mimi's house ", "Maddy, please don't bark", "I am working and I need a piece of wood", "Where is the tape measure? I need it"

Some of mom's less favorite phrases..."I need a new one, this is an old one!" (referring to my sippy cup) or when mom says there are no more blueberries and I say " let's check" and head to the fridge to look. She also does not like when I say NO NO NO NO NO or when I say "Daniel is in a bad mood" because that means I am acting like a 2 year old. One day when I was flailing on the ground hollering about something that was horribly unfair mom just looked at me and said... "You are such a creative boy.. do you have to be so cliche? There must be a more unique way to act your age."
