1699 MAMA!!!! I’m trapped *EDIT*

Saucy Scale: Can’t talk…chasing…toddler

So, Mattson mastered 2 things while we were on vacation.

1)  Overuse of the word Mama.  He no longer says any of the other tremendously cute words that he knows.  It’s Mama. Mama! Mamaaaaa!  MAMA!!!!  Constantly.  It was cute for the first day.  Heck, it was cute for the first leg of the trip down to Florida. 

It is downright maddening now.

Mama.      yes.

Mama!      yes?

Mamaaaaa!    yes?!

MAMA!!!!     *sigh*

2) He learned how to open lever-style door handles.  Which is just swell since a great number of our doors employ this method of entry.  I can’t keep him out of the dowstairs powder room for more than 3 minutes at a time.

Mama. Mama! Mamaaaaa!  MAMA!!!! 

Get ready TBU, we need to install another one of those stupid (not so much) "childproof door handles".

Mama. Mama! Mamaaaaa!  MAMA!!!! 

MAMA!!!! MAMA!!!! MAMA!!!! MAMA!!!! MAMA!!!! MAMA!!!! MAMA!!!! MAMA!!!! 

I think I liked it better when Gus learned to scream DADDY! when he was angry in his crib.  Over and over again.  That was way more fun for me.

Dear Jesus, just keep me sane until nap-time.  PLEASE.

Love, MAMA!!!! 

P.S. I kid you not…in the time it took me to write this entry, Mattson learned how to climb up on the couch, find the remote control, and wreak havoc on the t.v.

How did he learn to climb up (and down) on the couch?!?!

Oh jeesh!  I need a stiff drink.

And just think of the times when you couldn’t wait for him to say “Mama”. I hear this doesn’t stop, either. Sigh.

Well, since it is not happening to ME, I can tell you that, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, that is so sweet! I am much more likely these days to hear a mortified, “Ma-aaaaam!!!” as I do something that creates deadly embarassment. You know, like existing. =;p

Cute! My sister’s foster son, who is only 22 months, does the same thing to her. If he gets frustrated he’ll just say MOM!

Cant you blame it on a television show or the at the very least at Disney?! for his learning ha!

And he knows how to shake hands, high five, and give “knuckles”… Oh my goodness. I love it.

I hear Momma about 100 x’s a day, too. Our only door handle like that is the front door which Ryan has not mastered yet. I just always lock the deadbolt. On the rest of our door handles we have the plastic circle/ball ones that you have to squeeze to open the door with. Love those things!

ryn: we could go together. šŸ™‚ then pose for vogue when we are all skinny

We’re just starting child proofing now. I can’t imagine what kind of itte prison we’ll be living in when she turns two. Eeeek! I don’t envy you now.
