Maybe it's part of the "learning process."
But I've had it up to here with the learning process. Kole is learning more than a boy his age should learn.
Like, most mornings after breakfast Kole asks, "Gonna pump a bottle, Mom?"
Um. Awkward.
Or, if we're planning on not going anywhere Kole will say, "Put your bra on, Mom?"
.....is it funny? Or crossing a line? Or learning? I don't think a 2-year old needs to learn about the lactation process or anything boobie related. But my 2 year old knows way too much about it.
Back to eavesdropping.
First, I always thought it was ease-dropping. As in, "Look at the ease with which I am overhearing this conversation." Hmm! Live you learn.
Kole has always been really quiet if I am on the phone. I always just thought he was brimming with good manners and chivalrous conduct. Turns out the little bugger was just eavesdropping.
I've learned this because after I get off the phone Koley gives me his re-cap. Always in question form. I hope that's a phase.
Joey drives Mommy nuts? Sometimes? At night?
Ken is at work? Coming home? Take out meat?
Gweta get better?
Anni more happy?
Gwamma's house Friday?
At first I was just impressed. He can pick up so much so quickly. But things have taken a mischievous turn. For instance. If I am on the phone with Ken and I call him "Ken" instead of "Dad" (saying Ken just comes naturally.) Kole will call him "Ken" for the rest of the day. "Ken coming home soon?" "Ken cookin' dinner?" "Ken changing his clothes?" "Ken give me bath?" He says it all with bright eyes and a big smile... like I know I'm supposed to call him "Dad" but come on. We're all grown ups here.
Yesterday he had been calling Ken... "Ken" for about an hour and just giggling every time. I told him he needs to call him Dad. More giggling.
I said, "You need to call him Dad or I'll take your trucks away."
It got real quiet.
Then a smile ten miles wide....and he said:
"Okay, Patty."

He's a smart little stinker! I wouldn't worry too much about the boob thing. A few months ago Andrew liked to be held and then put his hand down my shirt. Just in the middle for comfort. And now he's over it no big deal.
Wait it's called eaves dropping?
Oh my gosh, he is wayyy too smart. I love how you thought it was "ease dropping." Loooove that about youuuu!! I remember when Dylan was two and Sadie was a newborn - I'd be getting out the breast pump, and he would go, "Pump a-boobs now?" So funny.
Haha! That's hilarious:)
