Sit Down!!!
I sound like a broken record. My 2 year old has figured out how to get unbuckled from his high chair and thinks it is fun to stand while he eats.
Here is our fives times a day conversation (three meals and two little snacks).
Me: “Sit down, please.”
Son: “Drrr”
Let me translate: He doesn’t have a big vocabulary. Well, at least it’s not one English speaking folks understand. This is a catch all word that means general irritation.
Me: “Please sit down, you will get hurt if you fall.”
Son: “Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
He then proceeds to sit down and eat a few bites. Thirty seconds later, a similar conversation ensues.
Me: “Why are you standing up again? Please sit down like Mommy asked you to!” (In a mildly irritated voice)
Son: “Drrrrr, Dada!”
Me: “Daddy isn’t here, he’s at work so please sit down. If he was here he’d have the same issues with you standing up.”
Son: “Dit Down!”
Um, what? That sounded just like actual words. The funny thing is that he DIDN’T sit down. I think he was commanding me to do so and leave him be.
Good thing his big boy seat is on order. I wonder how long it will take him to figure out how to get out of it?
