Zack is getting very verbal...except that now when the phone rings he states the names of my friends.."J.T.?" "Mark?" "Deb?" and then he says, "Sick, Dude!" Then he says "Bogus!"

Turns out Mrs. FR has been calling her breasts "Boobies" and now he sees any cleavage he points and says, "Boobies!!" This is a problem.

Unfortunately I guess we're not supposed to refer to parts of our bodies using slang. Guess what he's calling his penis now? You don't even want to know.

The good news is that I have stopped dropping the F-bomb around him and I just pretend he's asking me for a fork.

Have fun in 1 and a half years, boys. :lol:

Oh man.... did you just say "better" when you really meant "worse"?

For some reason I get that feeling. I don't know, maybe it's my gut. My gut has been getting bigger snce I had Zack. I even have a name for it now. Gus.

When my son was little and was just beginning to form various "sounds", but before he had actually said a real word, he was sitting in his high chair eating blueberries. He had blueberry all over his face. I was sitting in my chair reading, his mother was doing something in the kitchen. She walked by him heading into the den, his eyes followed her as she came into the den, then followed her as she went back into the kitchen.. as she passed him the second time he said...... "bitch"........ :D

It was his first "word".. she swore I had taught it to him.. but I didn't.. it was just a coincidence that he formed a syllable or "sound" that came out that way. He never said it again, though....... I said it quite frequently later on...... lol

Oh man, FR, you guys sure learned the hard way! :lol:

Yeah, kids pick up on all the good stuff; even if it's only said once, they seem to have this innate sense of which words are the most fun and will get the reaction.

That thing about "boobies" will be tough to kill, though. In my rigorous studies of childhood behavior and development ( :P ), I've discovered a universal fascination of children with boobs. And they really have no shame with poking and tugging on shirts. Maybe your best bet would be to teach him a cuter, more obscure name for them. "My" little guys use "noonies," for example.

Thanks for suggestion, Opti. Noonies sounds better. He keeps saying "Noo-nah! Noo-nah!" and I have no idea what he is saying. What is this mysterious noonah? Maybe he has lots of words for breasts!

I'll start talking about my wife's noonies. Wait...isn't that almost like nookie?

I'll never be able to take my son in public again.

Their mom breastfed both of them until a REALLY late age, so for a while they were milkies. They still sometimes are. Though, I definitely encourage the "noonies" usage more. As a non-lactating female, "milkies" kinda creeps me out.

When my daughter was just a toddler she was cracking herself up saying, "sonny bench" after which she'd cackle hysterically. We laughed along with her a couple times until we realized the phrase she had picked up. Fortunately, she moved on and never said it again (until her teens).

I'm not saying anything one way or another. But each and every toddling tyrant has his or her own way of absorbing and processing the world that surrounds them. By two and a half they transform into little Buddahs.

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
When Lauren was little the upstairs hallway was open to the two story dining room, with an open iron railing that we covered with clear lexan. One day she heard her mother say 'Oh, sh!t!' when trying to cope with my very old dog. A couple days later our two-year old was spending day and night running back and forth up there yelling 'Oh, sh!t! Oh, sh!t!' over and over. It was all we could do not to crack up.

When Liam was very wee (under a year), we were in a bookstore and they had a big cardboard cutout of the frog from the Baby Einstein videos. Liam pointed at it excitedly and yelled "F*ck! F*ck!" Every mother in the children's section turned to me in horror. So I said very loudly, "Yes, Liam, that IS a FROG!"

reminds me of "nooners"...

BTW, I remember when my niece was about 2 or 3 years old, shouting in the super market "I HAVE A BO-GINA!!!". No, you won't be able to take your son out in public. :lol2:

I was walking through a department store with my girlfriend's 3 year old. She just looks up at me in the middle of the store at Christmastime and says in her loudest possible voice 'HOLD MY DICK!'. Talk about wanting to become invisible and crawl out of there.

Kids make up words all the time, too. Usually they're just nonsense, but sometimes they strike gold and come up with a real stinger. A couple months ago "my" little guy (just over 3) decided he was going to start calling his older brother (5-ish) a cock. There were definitely a few public shoutings of "you cock!" before we finally decided the word wasn't gonna fade any time soon and needed to be deemed "bad."

I told my parents I wanted to go to gak-outs. I remember it too. They couldn't figure it out for days. I wanted to do everything my brother did, and that included cub scouts. Gak-outs apparently meant cub scouts. I also called zebras 'athras', 'a' as in 'ache'.
And how are you today?

When I was about two, my parents were fans of the show "Emergency" (I think that was the name). I was just getting really good at repeating everything I heard. We were all in the grocery store, with me riding in the cart. My parents turned their backs for a second, and I started yelling "Mommy, mommy, please don't beat me anymore!"

An old lady starting hitting my dad with her purse, and my parents had to leave the store.

this is funny to read...Will was so quiet when we was kid. He hardly said anything, although he was always thinking. It made it easy to forget that he might be picking things up. I'm an actress...I have a...colorful manner of speaking on occasion. I remember being SO afraid that Will's first sentence would be "No sh*t, Grandma!"

Mother might have laughed. I am not sure :)

On Christmas day when Emily had almost turned three years old, her great grandmother was given one of those bottles filled with some kind of oil and the sprigs of dill or what have you in it. Grandma Ruth was inspecting it as the next gift was being opened. Emily came over to look at the bottle and asked her, "What the hell is that?"

When I was a pre-schooler I was walking with an older brother. Some unknown adult was passing by and meant to call him a "nut" but called him a "screw" instead.
