Kids say the darnest things.....

Tate is definatly his own little person and I love it. For the last 4 days he has decided that he no longer likes sleeping in beds. They are much too comfortable for him. He now has decided the floor is his favorite place to rest his head. Every night and nap time I read him a storey and tuck him into..... onto the floor! What a nut.

So we went to Addies 9 month check up the other day and Tate decided he wanted a one on one conversation with the doctor. He began asking the doctor if he liked toys, what toys he had and if he could play with them. Then out of the blue Tate says, "I have pretzels"! Tate did not have any pretzels but I figured it was good for his imagination if I just ignored him and let him go on. Again he looked at the doctor and said, "I have pretzels. My pretzels are BIG"! The doctor and I again just nodded are heads. For some reason Tate wasn't giving up on this topic. "I have big pretzels and I am going to get them taken out", Tate said. Then it hit me, he was talking about his tonsils. Tate has had really big tonsils for the last year are so and we have been keeping an eye on them. They have recently gotten out of control and we had a ENT look at them and Tate is having them taken out in July. Anway, when we figured out what he was talking about I was laughing so hard.

This next story you will have to read it all the way through before making any fast judgments.
So Tate loves to talk and if he can't come up with anything to say he will come up with silly questions. Some of his popular questions are, "Mommy/Daddy do you have a eye?", "Do you have a knee?", "do you have shoes?", etc. So the other day Tate and I were sitting on the couch and Tate turns to me and says, "mommy, do you have a ______?
Before I continue let me help you figure out this word since i really prefer not to say or write it. So Tate has asked me before if I had a pee pee. That is our term for the males parts. but today he used a different word that could also be used for the male organs and no it wasn't the correct term and it wasn't pee pee. It started with a D and ended with a k. Back to the story.
So Tate had just asked me his question and I looked at him in sudden shock. He asked me again. I didn't know how to respond so I asked him where he heard that word. Trust me we do not use that word in our home. Tate just kept asking the question so I thought again about how I was going to respond. Hesitantly I asked him if he knew what a ______ was. He looked at me and said, "Do you have one?". After getting no respond I decided I better make sure he even knew what he was talking about. Even more hesitant I now asked him if he would show me what he meant or what he was talking about. He stood up, walked around our couch and pointed outside at our deck! Phew! I do admit I started laughing but I then had to make sure I got in Tates head the correct word. I was seriously worried there for a minute.

Hopefully that story doesn't offend anyone, but I seriously almost had a heart attack and after words thought it was so funny how kids can seriously get words confused.
