I just have to share the funniest thing that happened with Damon earlier.
With how cold things have gotten around here (we're talking below zero a couple of times this week), and with how early this is in the year, the bugs have been doing their best to find a warm place to hide. So we've been finding and killing bugs right and left, though the kids are generally soo freaked out they don't accomplish much except for scaring themselves and yelling for Mom or Dad. (Can I just say...ugh...)
Along with that, Damon has begun talking more and more (probably picking up anywhere from 3-8 words a day now). His little baby talk is sooo cute to hear, though hard to understand at times. And like most other totally "unbiased" parents, we are convinced it is a sign of his future genius, lol.
Having said all that, when he turned around the other day to start his usual gibberish while we were working on getting his shoes taken off after being outside for something or other. He kept lifting up his foot and saying something insistently....we just couldn't understand what. But we smiled and encouraged (brilliant translators that we are, we kept saying "Yes, good job..that IS your foot"), and tried to move on. John laid the little guy down to change his diaper and all of a sudden he (John) flinched and yelped slightly. When I started to look/watch, all of a sudden I heard (clear as a bell, really) in Damon's little toddler's voice "Bug...kill....ewwwwww, slimy!" at about the same moment John growls about finding a squashed earwig. lol, Damon was sooo proud of his moment of triumph! He had killed the thing even daddy thought was too ewww to not flinch at!
Needless to say, ever since then Damon makes us giggle by lifting his foot to show everyone how he squished the nasty little thing....and runs every time someone yells about having found another bug! My heap big mighty bug hunter...he is so very cute!!! :D
