Reichen: “See that star up in the sky, Momma?”
Me: “I do see it, buddy.”
Reichen: “We need to get a ladder so we can climb up it and get it. Will you get the star with me, Momma?”
Me: “Let’s go get it, doodlebug!”

Toddler Talk
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009Reichen: “No big deal, Momma. You can clean it up later.”
What my toddler told me after going #2 in the tub.
My Toddler says Tallywacker
Monday, October 26th, 2009It’s side splittingly funny when your toddler says tallywacker for the first time. It’s super funny when your toddler says tallywacker for the second time. It’s even funny when your toddler says tallywacker for the third, fourth, and fifth, times. I should know. Reichen’s been saying it all day.
The soda I was slurping literally squirted out of my nose when I first heard Reichen say the weird word. I think he liked the way tallywacker rolled off his dad’s tongue after David used it to refer to his special parts below the belt and above the knees. Reichen accidentally kicked his dad there when the two were wrestling.
Reichen knows he has a hit on his hands. It’s not every day he makes his mom and dad laugh so hard and so long it brings tears to their eyes. I guess if it made us laugh, he thought others might like it as well. And so said it to his brother. And he said it to our 12-year-old neighbor. And he said it to the guy at Home Depot.
He thought right: they all laughed, and laughed, and laughed.
What’s not so funny: getting Reichen to stop saying tallywacker. I think it’s going to be a tough task. I mean, when a 3 year old says tallywacker, it’s funny. Side. Splittingly. Funny.
You Are my Curly Haired Doodle Bug
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009You are my curly haired doddle bug
My 2nd born who loves to love.
You are my gap toothed lovey dovey
My baby boy who loves to snuggy.
You are my chubby legged sweetie pie
My little lumpkin who hardly cries.
You are my big bellied buddha boy
My sugar plum who plays with toys.
You are my silly giggly boy of one
My snuggle bunny who sucks his thumb.
You are my sun, my moon, and favorite dish
My love, my life, and every wish.

Toddler Talk
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009Reichen: “Momma, you wear two shoes.”
Me: “I know Doddle Bug. You are wearing two shoes, too.”
Reichen: “No, Momma! You wear two shoes on your feet!”
Me: “You’re right, baby. I’m wearing two tennis shoes on my feet.”
Reichen: “No, Momma! Look, Momma! LOOK!!!”
What my 2 year old toddler told me after he realized I was wearing 2 different tennis shoes. I just wish he would have informed me of that fun fact a little earlier, like before I spent the entire day in public.
Triken Reichen
Monday, September 28th, 2009I bought a tricycle for you at a garage sale last summer
You couldn’t ride it at first, it was such a big bummer.
You waited all winter and when spring finally arrived
You practiced for months, and for months you so tried.
Today you told me you could do it, you said you just knew
And when your feet touched the pedals, away you really flew.
You could hardly believe when you finally did it
“Look at me!” you shouted and you rode your short trip.
It didn’t last long, it ended quite quickly
You flipped your trike over, it was so accidentally.
Your pride was a little injured, but that was not all
Your knee was scrapped too, it was a big fall.
After the tears, you looked at me sweetly
I want to ride again, you said not too weepy.
You’re such a big boy, my baby of two
You can ride a tricycle now, I’m so proud of you.

Reichen: “I’m a BIG boy. Daddy fix it with a screwdriver.”
Man: “Fix it with a screwdriver? Your daddy must be an awesome mechanic.”
Reichen: “No, Daddy’s an awesome ninja. Reichen’s an awesome ninja, too.”
Man: “He is awful smart.”
Reichen: “I am smart AND handsome.”
Man: “See you guys later.”
Reichen: “See you later, crocodile.”
