"Kiss It" and other Kyler-isms

Now that Kyler is talking a lot more, he's been saying some funny things. One thing he's started on is "kiss it" when he gets ouchies ("ashes"). Then he will say "all better" after you kiss it. And immediately after that he will proceed to point to another area with a supposed "ashie" and tell you "that kind" because he wants that body part kissed.

Some of the most frequently heard phrases around here are as follows:
"yeah" = he says this ALL THE TIME, he is also starting to say mmm hmm
"nah one" = another one
"dat kine" = that kind
"up eee-ah" = up here
"ah dit down" = I want to get down
"at side" = outside
"down tair" = downstairs
"nack" = snack
"uh uh uh down down down" = up up up, down down down (used a lot of times when he is playing)
"ah papa cuck" = I want [to go in] Papa's truck
"doe-ba" = door bell (he's obsessed right now)
"oh no" = (self explanatory but super cute the way he says it, a lot of times when he hurts himself and is about to cry or while crying)
"mo-ky-cle" = motorcycle
"sy-cuck" = fire truck
"skooba" = school bus
"too too" = choo choo (train)

He also uses a lot of gibberish at times, and it's usually very loud. He talks about Noah (one name he can say perfectly) quite often at home. That is one of the kids in his group at daycare. He thought it was funny and laughed going up when he saw that we got our stairs carpeted. When he throws fits, he usually jumps a couple of times which almost always cracks me up. When he gets really, really excited he will wave his hands up and down really fast - it's sort of weird looking at his age but also pretty funny.

This weekend was the Seneca bike show. We walked around at it for quite a while and made two trips there. Then on our way to Kansas City that afternoon for a party, he started chanting in the car: "mo-ky-cle, mo-ky-cle, mo-ky-cle." He also sometimes just starts laughing or giggling when he sees a motorcycle or other exciting vehicle. The kid loves his motorcycles - which is also his birthday party theme.

He is very bossy to the dogs. He is constantly telling Baxter to stay inside or go to bed (his crate). Sometimes he even yells "bad bad bad" to him. He also yells at Frazier (my parents' dog) a lot. He is the first to notice when Frazier sneaks out of the yard and will walk around the driveway yelling at "zay-zer."

Today he was eating some popcorn in the garage. A piece hit the floor and he attempted to eat it. I told him not to and we would throw it out on the driveway for the birds. So we did. A little later we were sitting on the driveway and he found that piece of popcorn. He reached down and pretended to stick it in his mouth. I played along and exaggerated how gross it was that he was eating it. He pretended to chew it and had a little smirk the whole time I was disgusted. Then he spits on the driveway right next to where the popcorn was. So I thanked him for spitting it out. He thought he was so clever to trick his mama like that. ;) Then I had to explain that he can only spit outside not in the house. So he walks over to the garage and acts like he's going to spit, watching for my reaction. Then he steps outside and spits so that I would tell him good job and thank him. I think this little man is really figuring out how to manipulate people (and you can tell so by the way he gets spoiled by the rest of his family).
