New "Useful?" Words

So, Jackson has found it a necessity to watch Bob the Builder often...mind you we've had some disagreements, if you will, on how often he truly NEEDS to watch it! I am pleased to say that he has picked up some new vocabulary from it, however.

**Just prior to Jackson jumping into a basket of laundry today, he exclaims, "JACKSON DO DEMOLITION!!!" And, that is precisely what he did with the laundry...demolished the nice neat pile!!

**As I put my makeup on, he, like any inquisitive 2 year old, always wants to know the name of what I'm putting on. When I told him "foundation", he commented, "Oh, like on Bob!" Uh, well, sortof...it does go on the bottom of all the makeup.

**While looking at a brown beaded bracelet I had on the other day, he commented, "That looks like a power shovel!" Great!! That's just what I needed to hear about my bracelet...it looks like a power shovel!! I still have yet to see the resemblance...unless of course I am picturing the wrong kind of construction vehicle (maybe I should watch more of Bob?)!

**Then, on a totally "unrelated to Bob the Builder" note, the other morning I was asking him a series of questions...you know, like, "What do you want for breakfast? Do you want your waffle toasted? Do you want jam on your waffle? What would you like to drink?" I then ended with a calm, "Are you silly?" Jackson's response, after a pause and a smile, was, "No, I'm just regular."

So, he's added "demolition," "foundation," and "power shovel" to his vocabulary. And, well, I guess I feel better about sitting him in front of Bob the Builder because...you know...at least he's learning something...right?!?!?
