My two year old

Elliott has had several developments in the last month or so. The first of these is a little "girlfriend", another talkative, bossy two year old cutie pie named Willa. They play together almost exclusively, hold hands, help each other put their shoes on, eat snack together, and hug and kiss goodbye. It's a trip for sure, but it's funny to see him trying to imitate David and me.

The second development is a bustling vocabulary. He talks and sings nonstop, and has added lots of fun phrases, such as:

"Why? Why? Why?" (ad nauseum)
"Whatt?" (which I write with two "T"s, to emphasize how short and crisp he says it)
"Your choices, mommy." (which means, pick one- these are your choices, mommy)
Also, he refers to himself as buddy when he is trying to talk himself through something. The other day he was trying to put on his pants, and managed to get two feet in one leg. He said, "Wrong hole, buddy," and then corrected himself.
"Stop Mommy"
"No Talking! SHHH."
"Goodbye. I go a hospital!"

As soon as my camera and computer cooperate, I'll post some videos. Sorry!
