So Malcolm has really started to talk. And by talk I mean say certain words and know exactly what he means. In the midst of his babbling (or one of his bizarre tirades we've taken to calling Hitler Speeches as he's extremely animated and insistant on what he's saying as he uses his arms to punctuate sentences, yet you have no idea what he's saying since he's a 15 month old), we'll get words that he knows...
Mommy (or Mama) and Daddy (or Dada) we've had for a while. And while "fan" was his favorite (and only) word beyond those for a while, we've now replaced it with "apple", "car", "hi", "bye" and "cheese".
He'll also try and repeat things if you ask him to, but he doesn't use any of those words on his own...which has prompted things like "Florida" or "chair"...but today our story is about the word cheese...
Mostly Malcolm eats string cheese and knows that this long cigar shaped item is cheese. And while he's a bit of a cheese snob, as he eats slices of other cheeses we give him as well and knows that they are cheese, it is this long cigar shaped item wrapped in plastic that he mostly identifies with cheese.
So imagine our hilarity when Malcolm was rummaging through one of the bathroom cabinets he can get into (where there's nothing dangerous I might add) and he comes out with a Tampax tampon and proclaims "Cheese" with a big smile on his face as if he's discovered the mother-load of hidden cheese we keep away from him. He then grabbed a second one and proceeded to run around with two tampons, one in each hand, proclaiming "Cheese", "Cheese", "Cheese".
We just had to share.
And while we're sharing, here's a video of Mac doing a Mozart impression.
Be seeing you
