Search and Destroy are talking up a storm. Pretty much every other comment is bloggable. I have a feeling this will be a recurring series here \u2013 a toddling stream of conscious if you will.<\/p>\n

Two and half years old. As they discover the world.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s kick things off with a November holiday sampling. We were home to visit with my parents, who have equally awesome contributions.<\/p>\n

**********<\/p>\n

Nov. 15, 7 a.m., my birthday
\n<\/em>Jon: Do you have something to say to Mommy? Remember what we practiced.
\nSearch and Destroy (loudly, in unison)<\/em>: TRICKORTREAT!<\/p>\n

**********<\/p>\n

Search (wailing)<\/em>: I NEED NANO! I NEEEEEEED nano. Where nano?!
\nJon: I don\u2019t understand. What is he saying?
\nMe: I\u2019ve got nothing.
\nDestroy: <heavy sigh><\/em> Lawnmower. Search wants the lawnmower.<\/p>\n

**********<\/p>\n

Destroy: I need milk. PRONTO.<\/p>\n

**********<\/p>\n

Stranger at the store: And then the guy went over, under and through. Little fucker\u2026
\nDestroy: Over. Under. Through. Little\u2026
\nMe: \u00a0<desperately holding my breath><\/em>
\nDestroy: \u2026froggie!<\/p>\n

**********<\/p>\n

Destroy: Where\u2019s my PapaStavo?
\nSearch: Papa\u2019s fixing the door.
\n(Adults were attempting to switch out doorknobs so we could secure my brother\u2019s childhood room during our visit. I know. Mother. Of. The. Year. In my defense, my parents\u2019 house is not childproof.)
\n<\/em>Destroy: Why is Papa fixing the door?
\nSearch: Gramma told him too.<\/p>\n

**********<\/p>\n

Destroy: No Papa, I need to wait for Search.
\nPapa: Oh my goodness\u2026him and Search talk so good.
\nMe: Search and he talk so well.
\nGramma: Better than you Papa.
\nPapa: You should put that in your log. I really enjoy those.
\nMe: My blog?<\/p>\n

**********<\/p>\n

Jon: When you\u2019re a big boy you\u2019ll wear big boy undies. Big boys go peepee in the potty.
\nSearch: <thoughtfully, after debating concept for a moment><\/em> No\u2026I peepee in my diaper. <Toddles away>
\n<\/em>Destroy: I peepee on Mommy. <legs astride, peepee flowing freely><\/em><\/p>\n

**********<\/p>\n

Search: I\u2019m stinky. Papa change me.
\nPapa: No. Way.
\nSearch: PAPA DO IT!
\nPapa: Which way does it go? I\u2019ve never done this before.
\nMe: Two kids, two grandkids and never?
\nGramma: Not. Once.<\/p>\n

**********<\/p>\n

Papa: Ow! Sheet! Sheet! Sheet! (translation \u2013 \u201cshit\u201d)<\/em>
\nGramma: Watch your mouth around the little ones!
\nDestroy: Watch your mouth Papa. Shit\u2026<\/p>\n

**********<\/p>\n

Me: Bathtime, buddy.
\nDestroy: Ok mommy. Let\u2019s DO this!
\nSearch: I have brown eyes. I can swim.<\/p>\n

**********<\/p>\n

Destroy: No Mommy. Your pants too tight. Go put new pants. Too tight.
\nMe: <stepping away from the pumpkin bread><\/em><\/p>\n

**********<\/p>\n

Destroy: Mommy needs to drink more wine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
