Random x2

So I know it's only August, but I'm trying to figure out what Cole should be for Halloween. I got him a puppy costume a couple months ago and as my sister warned me, he hates it on... and it's getting too small. So, I'm on the hunt for either a firefighter, another puppy or possibly a pirate. Old Navy has some really cute costumes that I've given some consideration. I am definitely a pre-pre-planner, which drives some people crazy... (I'm already on the lookout for NEXT years birthday party theme... and Cole just had his two months ago!)

'Get off of me.' Colton's new phrase when we're hugging, kissing, tickling or rough housing with him when he's crabby... said in the most whiny 2-year voice. He's getting really good at saying please, thank you and you're welcome. You're welcome is pretty new. He's always saying, 'Oops, sorry' if he happens to bump you, when he falls or for something insignificant. It's good he says sorry, but sometimes he's saying it for things he doesn't need to be sorry for. I don't want him to think that word doesn't have value because he says it so much. I'm sure that will come with age. One other wonderful age appropriate thing he's into now is hitting me and thinking it's funny. I don't know if he's doing for attention (which he gets plenty of) or just not wanting to be nice, but he's put in 'time out' every time he does it and has to apologize afterward. Hopefully that will pass soon. Good thing he's good at saying he's sorry! Other sayings:
'There, all better' (when he fixes something the way he wants it)
'Oh, man'
'Holy cow' (taught by daddy)
'Oops, sorry. You okay?'
Mmmm, it's good'
'It's broke, fix it'
'Help you' (Asking for help)
'Smile' (holding the camera trying to take a picture)
When asked a question, it's either a quick 'no' or 'nope' or 'noooo' or an exicited 'yeahhh' with the shaking of the head up and down.

That's all I can think for now....
