Little Nate Nate


Nate was at preschool and someone had brought birthday cupcakes to share.  Nate saw them, but it wasn't quite snack time.  Nate sat down at the snack table and said, "I want a cupcake." We make him request items in a full sentence before he gets them and we're really trying to encourage sentences so we usually reward him. When no one gave him his request, he walked over and looked at the cupcake again.  He sat back down and said, "I want a cupcake PLEASE."

Also, preschool now has Nate asking for cupcakes ALL THE TIME. It must be a popular birthday treat.

I was getting Nate dressed after a bath when he said, "Kitties, kitties, I'm a cat."  I giggled at him and said, "No silly, you're a little boy."  He kept repeating, "Kitties, kitties!" until I realized, I call my kids kiddies.  He thought I'd been calling them kitties and that he was a cat.

Nate was at OT when he had a small crash and landed on his knee.  He got up and told us, "Oh my elbow."  Yes buddy, they do similar things.  Resourceful use of language.

Haha, that cupcake story is hilarious! And Drew called knees, "knee elbows" for a long time. I love the way they figure out the world!
