The Land of misfit Toys

We have a container that used to be for wipes. We put toys in this container. These toys may fall into the following categories:

~Toys that are broken/need repair
~Part of a game/toy that is already cleaned up/put away (and I am too lazy to put it back with it's family - ie puzzle pieces)
~Toys/parts that are too small
~Toys that I find on the floor before the vacuum cleaner/Vroom gets them

We call the Box "The Land of Misfit Toys."

The box lives in the kitchen cabinet and every now and then (not very often), I'll go through the box, toss some of the stuff in there or put it back where it belongs.

You should also know that we have a similar box for Christmas ornaments. Some day, Bobby will fix the ornaments in the "broken box." For each year, the box gets more full...

rear ends, butts and behinds

Last week, Alex approached me from behind with a toy stethoscope. He gently placed it on my rear end and said "I hear your butt." When I asked his what it sounds like he answered (matter of factly): "Cock a doodle Doo."

And while we're on the subject of Alex and my rear end...

A few weeks ago, after stepping out of the shower Alex placed his hands on my butt and announced "BIG BUTT." Thanks for the confidence boost, son. Of course, in relation to his own tiny hiney, I guess my butt would be big.

The best part of all is what he went on to say:

"you got any poops in dare."

My son.

Alkix and Yay-yay

Alkix and YayYay are what Ava and Alex call each other. They CAN say each other's names correctly, but prefer to call each other by their nicknames.

They also are developing a language between themselves. I am slowly learning some of these new words. For example: "A-Neese" means "let's run back and forth."

Yesterday Bobby and I both witnessed an entire conversation between them:

Alkix: I poopied in the potty, YayYay.
YayYay: Good Job, Alkix.
Alkix: Thank you, YayYay.

And then they hugged. It was precious.
