In the Words of Adam

Adam is constantly saying funny things. Here are some of our latest conversations:

September 7, 2008 – We bought Adam a new bib. It has a picture of a tiger on it. While eating today, Adam began shoveling his food into the catch tray of his bib. Kim asked him to stop and began scooping the food back onto his plate. After Kim finished cleaning out the bib, Adam scooped up another bite and dropped it back into the catch tray. He then looked at Kim and said, “Tiger eat it.”

August 20, 2008 – Today at lunch Adam became very excited while drinking his milk. He pointed into his glass and exclaimed, “Moon!” The small amount of milk left in his cup had made a crescent shape and Adam recognized it as a moon.

August 13, 2008 – To help teach Adam, we have been using the “time out” method. Occasionally, we count to five if we need him to come or do something we have previously asked him to do. Today, Adam and Mommy went to a friend's house. When Mommy told Adam it was time to go home, he went to the front door to get his shoes. While Mommy was saying goodbye, she could hear Adam yelling something. She walked closer and heard that he was counting to ten. When she came into the hallway where Adam was sitting he said, “Mommy time out, no come.”

July 20, 2008 – Adam loves to play with our cell phones. Today he picked up Mommy’s phone and put it up to his ear. Mommy asked him who he was calling. Adam’s response was “Just Minute.” He proceeded to walk around the room saying “Just Minute” over and over again. Apparently Adam has learned this is what you say when talking on the phone so you don’t get interrupted.
