toddler humor

Noah(pointing at something across the room) that's a butt dip!

Me: a what?!?

Noah: A BUTT DIP!

Me: what's a butt dip?

Noah: hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa (giggles uncontrollably)

is this some obscure joke i'm just not getting? does anyone know wtf a butt dip is?

He's got personality!

Humorous stories from this weekend:
-Friday we went to Target and there was a girl about his age crying through the whole store, very loudly and very whiney. we wound up next to them at some point. Noah looked at her and said "you need a nap!"

-I was in the bathroom when Joe came home from work on Friday. Noah heard daddy so ran out of the bathroom to see him. I hear Joe say "where's mommy?" and Noah answered with a very loud "pooping in the bathroom!"

-Sunday night Joe gave Noah his bath and then they came out to watch some Big Bird before bed. Noah was standing in the middle of the living room when he randomly pulls down his pajama pants. I asked what he was doing and he told me...I don't like pants!

-This morning before work Noah was talking to me when he put his hands down his pants. Again, I asked what he was doing and he said "putting hands on the penis". Let's pray this is an indoor only activity for now and we don't have to have the 'penis is for private time' talk quite this early.

In our house, we watch The Office...a lot. We have most of the seasons on DVD, and if we need something for background noise we throw that in. Joe works from home on Thursday and keeps Noah with him. Since he does have things he has to take care of at work while trying to keep Noah entertained, the tv is on more then normal. Well, there's a joke on one episode:

Knock Knock

Who's there?

Buddha

Buddha who?

Buddha this bread for me!

so now, whenever Noah's playing on a phone or knocking on a door or something and we say "who's there?" He replies with "BUDDHA WHO!"

Are you sleeping?

After dinner, Noah climbed up on the couch between Joe and me. He laid down in the typical toddler fashion with his butt straight up in the air. Then he quietly sang: Are you sleeping? brother john brother john

it was the perfect dose of cuteness I needed on a Monday night.

Anatomy lessons

This morning as I took Noah in for a diaper change, I asked him if he had poopies in his diaper. He responded: No, just penis.

Me: oh really?

N: yup, daddy has one too!

later at dinner, at a break in the conversation Noah looked at Joe and said "Daddy has a penis!" Since Joe had missed the earlier conversation, this came out of left field for him. I just laughed and Noah gave us his new "smiling" face (he squinches his eyes up really tight and wrinkles his nose).

and one of my favorite 'penis' conversations happened awhile ago, when he got into the bath and waved and said "HI PENIS!"

I was told it's good for kids to know the proper name of their 'parts', I really don't think I have any problems in that area. Now if only he would stop saying it quite so loud, in very public places.

Early morning confusion and drama king

over the monitor I hear: "AYE!!!!!" (he watches just a bit too much of The Office).
this being my cue that he's awake, I go up to get him out of his crib. as soon as I open his door he says "Go to Target?" Me: No, not right now buddy. Noah: Target is CLOSED! Me: yes, they're closed. You want out of your crib yet?
Noah nods and reaches for me, but gets a static shock. I set him on the floor and he glares at me, grabs his head and says.... MOMMA STABBED ME IN THE HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i can't say he doesn't get the dramatics from me.

Noah

He's hilarious. I really wish I could just record him nonstop, but as soon as the camera comes on he runs up to push his face to the screen and says "you recording? i see the light, you recording?!?" sorry, i can only take so many nostril videos before i stop trying.

and not only is he hilarious, but he's sweet. our conversation this morning:
Me: Noah, can you tell me how the birdies sing?
N: La la la! i hear the birdies, la la la!
Me: do you like the birdies?
N: Yes, love the birdies, i hear them!

Me: What's your name?
N: name is Noah
Me: what's my mom?
N: name is Honey!
Me: what's Daddy's name?
N: JOEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me: Guess what?
N: I love you!
Me: how much?
N: THIS MUCH! (most of the time he claps when he says this)

so someone challenged me to keep a blog of his conversations. I'll try. he talks so much that it's a lot easier to just update Facebook with his funny stories when they happen, but i'll try.
