What he says when he’s trying to say “where am I?”, mostly in reference to Mario Kart 🙂

Eitan is very good at picking up phrases. Here is his (and our) current favorite: “if I do say so myself”
He sometimes uses it appropriately.
We “check” Eitan five times at night before he goes to sleep. There’s always too much conversation during these checks, but this was one of my favorites.
Eitan: “Mama can I ask you something?”
Me: “Anything”
Eitan: “I love you more than anyone in my class”
Me: “I love you more than anyone in the universe”
Eitan: “I love you that too”
Eitan recently (and briefly) stopped eating MadeGood bars. We asked why and his response was, “they’re too chocolate chippity.”
Seriously???
Eitan’s ability to pick up idioms is impressive – at least to us old people. The other day, Rich pointed out to me that some mold appeared to be growing on some dried flowers. Eitan came over to take a look but after about one second declared, “I don’t want to be involved in this.”
Me neither, kid.
We recently took Eitan on his first trip to Manhattan. We saw our dear friends from Israel and had a wonderful time exploring the city. Eitan still talks about the trip a lot, but he refers to it as our “You Nork” trip. It is the cutest mistake!
At dinner, we were discussing Nana and Mama’s old hairdresser and his ultra-demanding wife.
Mama said: “Yeah, the only thing I remember about was that she was a…”
Short silence, as Mama tries to decide what to say.
Eitan: “Pain in the butt!”
We all burst out laughing.
Eitan: “I knew that was going to be funny!”
Eitan: “Mut”
At least he’s drinking it now!

Copying our Phrases
I didn’t realize how frequently I say certain things until Eitan started to repeat them. For example, Eitan went to pee recently and Rich went with him. I hear him sit down on his potty and say to Rich, in a very serious manner, “SO, Dada”

You know you added the cutesy “y” sound on the end of too many words when your child refers to one of his bathroom toys as “Octopussy”.
