Mason has officially reached the stage where you have to be really careful what you say around him because he is repeating everything! I've caught myself saying stuff (Such as shouting "Okay!!" down the hall in an annoyed voice) and he immediately parrots it, tone and all, and I realize that it's not only the words I say that I need to watch, but the tone of my voice and the way I express myself. It's a whole new world - here I thought I just needed to avoid the curses!

Mason is so curious and is always asking "Momma doIN?! Daddy doIN?!" "Joe doin?!" and has started asking about people who aren't around - this morning he asked "Grandma doin??" and then when I said Grandma was at home, his next question was "Papa (aka Grandpa) doing?!!?" and then when I say "Papa is working." he sadly repeated "Papa workin..."

We did a random outfit change this weekend and we usually don't change clothes unless we're getting ready for swim class or bed. He instantly said "Simming?? Simming Ray-ray??" (His pronounciation of Aarron sounds like Ray-ray to me) and then when I said we weren't going swimming, he said Simming? Ray-ray doin??" It's a good thing their next swim date is less than a week away!

Anything that isn't like it should be is broken. "Light broken!" "TV Broken!" He also demands "Light on" when he walks into a dark room, but doesn't understand off yet.

We're working hard on please and thank you and for the most part, he will parrot it when you say it or if you say "Can you please say please?" half the time he says "Peeez?" and the other half the time he says "Yah!!" and nods his head like "Duh mom, I can say that!"

Last night we stopped at a sub shop and when he saw the pizza spinning in the warmer, he said "Pizza! Pizza runnin!!" which totally cracked me up.

He has randomly said "Excuse me" after burping and if he bumps into you, he'll pat you nicely and say "Sowwy" which is adorable. Those things must have been learned at daycare, because we haven't worked on them at home.

He loves pointing out things he knows in books. His favorite things to point out are lights (of course), trees, kitties, tractors, and cows.

The other day his computer started playing the ABCs and he sang the "ABC" part right along and I about died from the cute. We tried to encourage him to keep going, but he was off and running with something else.

I really want to start taking better notes about what he's saying because he cracks me up at least once a day, but when I sit down to write about it, I only think about the stuff I hear all the time. He's saying a lot of 3-4 word sentences and I definitely want to share more here, so my goal for the next month is to get more down on paper!

What were some of the cute first things your kids said?
