Hunterisms

Hunter's vocabulary continues to explode more everyday. I'm amazed at some of the things that come out of his mouth...some sweet, some not so sweet, and some hysterical.

Here are his 5 most frequently used phrases...

"I wanna cuddle." - He actually has been saying this for a long time and says it pretty frequently. Just today he asked me to cuddle with him when I layed him down for nap. My heart melts everytime:)

...

"No like eating." (pronounced: no yike eating) - Usually when I feed Charlotte, Hunter runs over, squishes up his face, and says this. (Obviously he likes to eat, but he cringes when he sees his sister eating.) The other day he followed that statement up with "I want some of that." while pointing at my boob. Um...ew. I obviously told him that in fact he did not want some because it is really yucky.

...

"I neeeeeed it." - In Hunter's world, the word "want" doesn't exist when he's talking about food. He neeeeeds cinnamon bread. He neeeeeds fruit snacks. He neeeeeds the candy in the aisle at Babies R Us. He neeeeeds gum. He especially needs gum...that kid LOVES gum and begs for it multiple times per day.

...

"Mommy (or daddy) do it." - Hunter mostly uses this phrase while demanding that we sing him a song. He'll request a song, usually "Twinkle Twinkle" or "Row Boat" or "Pop Weasel" or "ABCD", but rarely sings along. When I stop and ask him to sing, he'll get out like one syllable of a word and then quickly say, "Mommy do it!"

...

"No like (yike) _____." - You'd think the kid didn't like anything with the number of times per day that we hear this. No yike eating (see above). No yike the potty. No yike fill in the blank with any toy in the house. No yike whatever movie he asked for 5 minutes ago. No yike whatever snack he asked for 5 minutes ago. And my favorite, no yike that. The latest is for him to say no yike (insert friend's name here). No yike Thomas. No yike Ronnie. No yike Max. He's said all of these on the way to see these friends when literally 30 seconds earlier he was giddy with excitement at the thought of playing with them. So if you hear my child repeatedly tell me that he doesn't like your kid, please don't be offended. Just wait about 5 minutes and he'll be running over to play with him or her again.

There are so many more, but I figure I've probably lost most of y'all to boredom by now. I do acknowledge that this stuff is way more entertaining to me than any of y'all, but it is my blog so I reserve the right type cute little things my sweet boy says...even if it means putting y'all to sleep in the process (sigh).
