It's Too Fair

I have learned that with increased vocabulary and the ability to put two words together, language development explodes. Well, we are witnesses to language explosion. The talking never stops and the things that Simon says are just way too adorable, as you have read some stories in the past.

The latest is "it's too fair", appropriately said when he seems to be treated unfairly. Really, it's just when he is not getting his way with Mommy! Intonation with emphasis and all, "it's. too. fair." sounds quite funny!

Another fun thing to hear is pretend phone conversations, dialogue with toys, and his conversations and greetings with Norah. Comforting comments, expressions of affection, and sweet stories always warm my heart. Upon leaving for work, I sometimes here "ooh, I'll miss you Mommy".

And where does the idea of monsters come from? We never talk about monsters in our house with the exception of his two "monster trucks". Haven't and won't watch Monsters Inc. to give any ideas. Recent questions like "no monsters down there?" have been asked. As well as the answer of "in the wall" when asked where the monsters live. We do not dwell on this topic and will just see where it leads. Not yet ready for the books "Go Away, Big Green Monster", "There's an Alligator Under My Bed" and "There's a Monster in My Closet". Hopefully calming fears about imaginary things is not in our near future! I could bypass some of those childhood fears.
