While trying to keep up, I've been writing down things that Robin has been saying on my iPod as she says them so that I don't forget - for a man who can't remember a name to possibly save his life, this is an important thing. So in the vein of the book "$#!t My Dad Says" I'm going to recount some of the more notable things that have come out of our surprisingly verbose little (surprisingly) still 2 year old. And what the heck, some of the things I never thought I'd hear come out of my mouth too.
Robin : "I'll see you in an alligator" (amalgamation of See you later alligator in a while crocodile)
Robin: "I want to see g for goldenboy!" (she has an alphabet book called G is for Golden Boy and screeaaams it whenever we go by the legislative building)
Dad: "Make sure that doesn't have poop on it before it goes in your mouth!" (you'd be surprised how often that comes up...)
Dad: "Robin, did you just call me dude?"
Robin: "Hey dude!"
Robin: "I got for bout to close the door!" (got for bout = forgot about)
Daddy: "I don't know what this is on my hand but it came from one of you!"
Robin while eating bean soup: "I want to eat more ropes" (these are her name for the crushed tomatoes in a bean soup we make. I'm not even close to figuring out where that one came from)
Robin: "Old MacDonald had a MONKEY on his farm!!!!!!" (her first real joke, because, come on, what kind a farm has monkeys in it?!?!)
Robin at bedtime: "Mommy go upstairs and do soother books and bed yourself!" (in rare defiance of going to bed. Bedtime is soother, books and bed - sbb for short - because just hearing that it's bedtime sucks, but books and soother too? Hmmmm... let's make a deal)
Robin counting for hide and go seek: "2,3,4,5,6,13,15,16,9 and a half, here I come!" (this was the exact counting sequence, I swear)
Robin: "I'm a bad guy! Grrrrrr!" (often this is the Big Bad Wolf, or a Nightmare)
Daddy: "Is that puke on my pants?" (because I seriously didn't know)
Robin: "I'm as fast as a rocket!"
Robin: "I want to watch the Deense Bears"
Daddy: "Berenstain Bears. Can you say Be-ren-stain Bears?"
Robin: "Berenstain Bears"
Daddy: "What would you like to watch?"
Robin: "I want to watch the Deense Bears"
Robin on the toilet at McNally Robinson: "I WANT TO BE PRIVATE WHILE I GO POOP!!!!!" (privacy is normal when she goes poop. We leave and close the door. But this is not always possible in a public washroom. Thus, I heard her yell this while I was in the middle of the store and Jen was with her in the bathroom)
Robin: "How do I swallow the food down?"
Daddy: "???" (really, what do you say to that?)
Mommy: "Don't tell Daddy" (to Robin about a secret)
Daddy: "Don't tell Daddy what?"
Robin: "What!"
Daddy: "Don't touch that rag. I'm not sure what I wiped up with it."
Robin: "I'm going to go Jack and Jill!" (still not sure about that one, something about sitting on her knees...)
Robin running from the living room after Olivia starts crying: "I didn't kick Olivia!"
Daddy: ... "Did you kick Olivia?"
Robin: "Yup"
Robin, when Olivia is crying: "I can't hear all that noise!" (I think that comes from when Robin isn't asking about something nicely, we say "I can't hear Robin when she uses her whiny voice" and then she asks nicely)
Robin: "Daddy I went poop!"
Daddy: "Good."
Robin: "On the toilet seat!"
Daddy: "Uh oh."
Robin, out of the blue, to our friend Michelle about her husband James: "You should go with your wife" and pointed to James.
Robin, from what she learned yesterday: "" (our little budding physicist. Sniff)
Daddy: "Olivia, hold still so I can get that meat out of your ear!"
That last one was my personal favorite. So here are some pictures to match.
