Me: Kellen, what fruit do you want with your waffle this morning? Do you want strawberries or a banana?
Kellen: Strawberrynana.
M: No, you need to pick one. Strawberries or banana.
K: Strawberrynana.
M (now holding up both choices, thinking he doesn't understand): Pick.
K: Pick.
M: Choose.
K: Choose.
M: Pick just one. Strawberries (pointing for emphasis) or banana (talking louder like you do when someone doesn't know our language).
K (still not frustrated): I want two foods.
Sometimes communication is still a little dicey around here. I did let him have both, by the way.
In other news, Bonnie's renegade front tooth has finally made its appearance. 3 of the 4 came in a couple of months ago and have really grown in quite nicely, but she was starting to look like a child who has lost a tooth, so hopefully this one will catch up soon.

That wasn't boring. That was funny. Kellen is a smart kid...he knew exactly what he was talking about when he combined the two words! I am fascinated by how kids learn the patterns of language.
That was a pretty cute story. Funny for sure. Way to get him eating healthy.
