1. "I wanna trap that baby". This I have learned is not a cause to call Child Services, however it does involve trapping baby amoungst the pillows, while Jeff and Kai play rough. It seems to me that this is a form of protection? I am still unclear - but working on it.
2. "Mom, what happened to my bed? It's dummied!!" - This is in response to his sheets being taken off his bed and his pillows thrown all over.
3. "Who's dat man?" - This is often asked when, "dat man" is our friend and is only a foot away from Kai. This is also most hilarious when "dat man" has been around Kai for like an hour already - Sorry Scott!
4. "Where dat man go?" - Just before our plane took off on route to Mexico, Kai saw a man de-icing the wings of our plane heading to Mexico. Once we were 30,000 feet in the air, Jeff lifted the window cover and Kai asked Jeff "where dat man go?".
5. "Mom, I knoooowwwww...." or "Mom, I have a gooooooood idea...". This one is hard to explain because it's Kai's intonation that really makes you listen for what's coming next. Often he says, ... "we can watch a movie", or "we can cuddle on the couch" or "we can have a cookie" .
6. "I boom you"... this refers to the effort of pounding one's fist into the butt of an innocent bystander. I am still not sure how to apologize to Wendy's mom as Kai decided to "boom" her at Emmett's birthday party.
7. "Poopyman!" - Many of you know and have watched the evolution of this term. It has taken on a life of it's own recently. Connor is affectionately known as, "poopyman" (to Kai). I would like to say he learned it from "some other kid" at day care, or even at the playground but nope... he learned it right here in the House of Q, from his beloved dad.
8. "I toot in your eye" - this one Jeff insists he had nothing to do with but I'm not convinced. Kai toot,s then looks at you and instead of saying "excuse me", he blurts, " I toot in your eye!".
9. "Knuckles, knuckles" and 10. "Facewash" - these two often go together but they come out during wrestling or when Kai is being silly. He does "knuckles" with his little, fisted hands into my ears, eyes, cheeks and butt!! The facewash is similar (as you can imagine) but he runs his greasy little palms over my face!!
So this is just a glimpse of the daily Kai-isms but there are so many more to share and more to come. This kid is full of life, love and chatter!!!
