Wus that this year?

I have been remiss in writing down all the funny things Alexander has been saying lately. He's been trying to showcase his rich vocabulary...but has been coming up with slightly wrong words. 

For example, if Phoebe tattled on him for something, he might says she was "extravagant" when what he meant to say was "exaggerating." 

I had a running list of these darling mix-ups in my head...but, of course, my brain is like a sieve and this list has tumbled right out of it. I will be more diligent about keeping track in the future (not to mock—but because it's very, very cute). 

I texted Alexander a picture of himself as a baby, standing by the Christmas tree, pantsless, and using a fly swatter to reach of and tap the ornaments that I had told him not to touch. It's not touching if you don't use your fingers, see?


"Wus that this year?" he wanted to know. 

Buddy! Be so for real right now! Do you remember standing in the living room in your underwear, whacking the Christmas tree with a fly swatter.

"2019," I told him.

"oh so i am 2," he correctly calculated.

Then he told me he felt like he was about the same height. I was like, "Uh, no. Go stand by the window to see if you're still that short." 

So he took a selfie by the window and sent it to me saying, "Oh, I'm taller."

Funny guy!
