The Boy has a new response to impending naps or spankings: “Happy. Happy. Happy!” [translation: I'm not tired or having a tantrum now.  I feel much better, and I don't need a nap/spanking.  I love you.]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He has also resorted to mimed phone calls when his sisters don’t give him his way. He puts his hand against his left ear, tilts his head at the Universal Phone User angle, and waits briefly. Obviously, he is waiting for an answer on the other end. “Mom?” [pause]

“I Mee-mee bite?” [translation: May I have a bite of Megan's food? another pause.]

“Okay.”

He hangs up his invisible phone, and addresses his errant sister in his most authoritative voice: “Mom bite.” [translation: Mom said I can have a bite.]

Case closed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also new: he called himself by name.  We were having a conversation that went something like this:

Me: Excuse me, Boy.  I need to close my door.  Go see your sisters.

Boy: Nose.

Me: Yes, that’s your nose. I need to close my door now so I can get dressed.

Boy: Nose.  Nose.  Nose.  Nose.

Me: Right.  Nose.  Where is your mouth?  Let go of the door.

Boy: Nose.  Nose.  Perry-boy nose.

Me:  That’s right!  Perry-boy’s nose!  Go show your sisters Perry-boy’s nose!
