The past week or so, our little guy has just become Mr. Conversation. It is so fascinating to listen to him actually carry on a back and forth discussion. Every day he tosses out a new and complicated word that I have NEVER heard him use before (skyaper = skyscraper...this was while I had the TODAY show on and they showed the Plaza with all the tall buildings...my jaw dropped!!) or while we are reading, he will point to a object on a page from a book we just got out of the library (hence no familiarity with the content) and successfully identify it (in this case it was the number 72 on a firetruck (he knows his numbers 1-15 and can define them out of order so it made perfect sense for him to say 7 2...still to hear him say it without my prompting was amazing.
But what has us cracking up as of late is his perfect rendition of Buckwheat's "OTAY". Cole says it after just about every sentence (that is if he isn't using his #2 word which is "NO" which is closely followed by "I DO IT". His intonation is perfect as he typically uses it not as a question but as an adverb. He elongates the "O" and emphasizes the "TAY". We haven't been able to get it on video yet because he also dislikes being asked to do anything on cue anymore but I am determined because it is so freaking funny to hear.
