The "Are You Really Only 18 Months" Moments

1. Kai standing in front of the TV with a remote in each hand pointing at the screen saying, "On!"

2. I was taking toys off of the coffee table. He ran in, tore a piece off of the roll of toilet paper that was on the coffee table, wiped the snot off of his nose, threw the used toilet paper on the floor, hopped in his push-n-ride, and took off.

3. It was the third time we were reading the book "Trains", and I was going crazy. When we got to the second last page where "the conductor says all abroad", Kai popped off the boob and said, "Gain!" Impatiently, I said, "This will be the laaaaaast time, okay? No more! All done! We sleep after this." Kai nodded, "K!" and latched on. He fell asleep before the conductor could say all abroad.

4. He'd be doing something goofy and telling me, "Cama!" He'd stop what he was doing while I went to fetch the camera and do what he did again while the camera's on. As soon as it's done, he'd come sit in my lap and say, "See!" While viewing, he would say a "oh~~~~" as if he was surprised; he'd bring on his goofy laugh when he sees himself doing something silly; he'd point at and name the people, animals, or objects that were with him.

5. Kai's a natural at slap stick humor. He uses other objects as phones and talks into them. He pretends to lose balance and always makes the announcement, "Fall down" when he... uh, falls down. He walks on tippy-toes and goes, "Dee dee dee", or he wobbles from side to side while making monster sounds. He takes his "shocks" off and puts them on his eyes, "Goggle". He closes one eye and peeps through a Cheerio with the other and days, "Peeka!" He slurps an empty measuring spoon and goes, "Yum!" He uses the same measuring spoon to dig into dirt and smack it around on the ground saying, "Cooking! Cooking" He scribbled on paper and gets upset if you didn't agree when he told you those were "seko" (circle).

Are these normal 18-month-old tricks? I'm very afraid what he's gonna come up with (and worried about what we're gonna do) when he's 2... or 5... or 13!!

Was there ever a time in your lives without Kai? Maybe in another life... but compared to now was that really life?

Makes one ponder, non?
