Our 20 month old is what we
consider a virtual tape recorder. We feel his new
personality is due to the infamous Rugrats show,
which he adores.
He climbed atop his table and
stood straight up, clapping his hands in delight. I
told to get down please. He looked at me and said,
"Go away."
My mouth dropped what appeared to
be 10 feet as I was stunned yet delighted. He then
repeated 'get down' and climbed off the table.
My husband told our son to come
and get his teeth brushed. He turned around and made
a rasberry sound, "pbbbbft." My husband said at
least he didn't tell me to go away.
