He says the funniest things

Leif is happily snoozing on my lap at the moment, so I must take advantage of this two-hands-free moment to share a few funny things Kaj has been saying lately.

- We often bring our i-pod in the car so we can listen to music together, and one day Kaj requested some tunes while he was going somewhere with Tom. Daddy reported, "Sorry, Kaj. I don't have the i-pod today, and all there is on the radio is Thai pop." As you might imagine, any time we enter the car now, we hear, "Turn on Thai pop."

-This morning at Toddler Time, Kaj was sitting with the other kids listening to a story that included a bit about a lion. He started roaring, so I leaned over to ask him if he was a lion. His response? "No, mom. Kaj a wild thing!" (Where The Wild Things Are is currently a favorite book, and yes, Kaj always refers to himself in the third person. He's getting the hang of him/her/them, but no "I" yet.)

-Kaj is starting to talk about feelings/opinions. "Kaj so excited...That makes mommy so happy!..This book so funny,"etc.

-A naughty streak, literally... Kaj's now pretty good at doing his bathroom business in the john, which is quite exciting in itself, but last night I had to bite my lip to prevent cracking up. Kaj was sitting on the toilet while Tom read him another favorite book of the moment, Skippyjohn Jones. Out of nowhere, Kaj leaned way back and released his bladder, making a fountain and leaving a giant puddle on the floor, grinning ear to ear the whole time. Needless to say, he got a talking to, but I was rolling on the floor inside.

Gotta run! More later.
