Talking up a Storm

Nathan has been putting lots of words together for a while now. But the true sentences that have been coming out of his mouth astonish and often entertain me every day. Here are some recent Nathanisms:
I'm ticky-ish (ticklish)
I need a ladder (to get to the M&M's that are his favorite thing ever)
Go for a walk (everyday, all day if he could)
I need ice water (on our nightly walk around the neighborhood)
Do dodo do do dodododo (this is Nathan trying to sing the Thomas song that he loves for me to hum all the time)
Brush your teeth (He gets confused with you/ me, my/ yours, etc. so in the morning when he wants to brush his teeth like mommy does he says "brush your teeth". One morning when I was talking to him first thing in the morning he said, "brush your teeth" which was appropriate and hilarious. I don't know if he knew it.)
I Love you, Mommy (He often says this at night at bedtime but often randomly says it during the day. Wrapping his arms around me while I carried him the other day he looked at me and said it with absolute meaning!)
Next to you (Our bedtime routine involves me laying next to him for a few minutes while he winds down)
Picasso (He put his Potato Head together all silly and said this to me. Either he's watched too much Toy Story or he's a genius. Or both. In the first few scenes of the first movie, Mr. Potato Head arranges his parts all over the place and says "Hey look, I'm Picasso!" Nathan got it. Amazing!)
Car Insurance (This does not sound funny at all but when he suddenly blurts out "car insurance" at the dinner table, it is. It could be a jumble of sounds or too many car insurance commercials with Cars characters in it.)
Piggy says . . . (Then he makes the sound of the piggy, cow, doggie, motorcycle, thunder, school bus, truck - you get the picture.)
Where'd she go? (Tonight he asked where Darth Vader went while we were watching Star Wars and it went to a commercial. We met a little girl at the pool and she went to the other side with her mommy and he asked me where she went.)
The Winner: Dammit. (He copied Daddy at the dinner table who said it when he spilled his drink. Nathan purposefully knocked his own over and repeated after his father. He then did it again hours later with perfect delivery and timing. I'm so going to be the one getting called to the principal's office for cursing!)

The list goes on. I started this weeks ago and it now seems to outdated. It just goes to show how much he is growing and learning every day. It's such a fun stage and despite the sometimes very long days of trying to keep busy, it's my favorite kid stage so far.
