Toddler Talk

Jackson's growing vocabulary, ability to communicate and practically carry on a conversation continues to amaze us. Here are just a few things he said that made me smile lately.

Jackson was at Subway with my dad, one of their go to lunch stops. My dad held Jackson up so he could see and pick out what went on his sub. He said everything almost perfect, pickles, green pepper, tomato. When they got to the register to pay Jackson asked for one more thing..."Free cookie Monday" he told the Subway worker. Sorry Jackson, not only was it Friday but this location didn't do the promotion. Nice try :)

We were out of milk so Jackson and I went to Target. We shopped for a bit before picking up the milk last. He really wanted milk and I had been wanting to try the Horizon Organic individual milk boxes. So I grabbed a pack and opened one up for him. Well at the check out line he is all of a sudden saying "uh oh Mommy" in a panic. I look down and he has squirted milk all over his face. So we clean up and get home and I open up this two dollar Planes camera I found in the Easter section that I thought he would enjoy. Sure enough, he loved it, "Cheese, Mommy."

Jackson and I were running errands. We turned into a parking lot when he all of a sudden started saying "Mommy, eyes." He kept repeating it till I was parked and out around by his door. I asked him if the sun was bright in his eyes. He said "yes Mommy, turn it off!"

We were at the library and Jackson was going down the aisles picking out a few books to bring back to our table to read. He insisted on looking for books himself and told me to "wait, sit down" at the table. I did find a few books for him though ;)  Going through his stack at the table we came across a Peek-a-Boo Elmo book. It was really cute having flaps for the hands that covered each characters face. Jackson loved opening the first two pages to say peek-a-boo. But at the next page one of the hands was just floating and had been ripped off. Jackson was immediately concerned. I told him we could bring it to the librarian later to fix. Well not a chance at all for later when Jackson heard that. He got out of his seat with the book and started running over to the librarians desk. Just tall enough to see and reach over the counter he put the book down and very seriously said "Fix, it broken. It no work." The librarian was very nice and taped it up and handed it back. He said thank you and ran all the way back to read it.
