W vs. the truth

Me: Weston who got into my purse and took these cough drops?
W: Humm... I think it was Dallin.
Me: No, Dallin was in his crib.
W: Hummm.... I think it was Daddy.
Me: No, Daddy was in bed.  Who took these cough drops??
W: I think it was this bouncy ball. It was bouncing all over the room and it came and bounced into your purse and opened the cough drops.

I look to Mike for support but he is quietly in hysterics behind Weston's back.

D vs. strong language

Dallin's new favorite word is "shirt".  However, he doesn't pronounce the 'r'.

It makes doing laundry a little more fun, it makes getting him dressed interesting, but it does make me a little uneasy while walking through a department store with him pointing and saying "shi_t, shi_t, shi_t".

D vs. new words

Dallin has been talking a lot lately.  He knows more words than I can count.  But of them all, my favorite words are "um" and "oh".
If you ask Dallin a question he responds with "ummmmmmmmm", and if you explain something to him he will answer you with "oh".

Previously, this blog has been full of anecdotes mostly of what funny new thing Weston has said.  Now that Dallin is learning to talk, it should be more even between the to of them.
For example, today Dallin was left at the table eating breakfast while I took a shower.  As I was walking down the stairs to join him I heard him say, "mess?".  Sure enough, he had dumped the box of cereal all over the table and was driving toy cars through it.

W vs. chocolate ice cream

We took Weston to Cold Stone for the first time tonight. 

Me: You can pick any kind of ice cream you want.
Weston: CHOCOLATE!
Me: They have 2 different kinds of chocolate, (regular and ghirardelli) which one do you want?
Weston: This one (pointing to the darker ghirardelli chocolate. 

That's my boy!

W vs. Brownies

We had brownies for dessert the other night.  Weston asked for another and I told him no.  I should have known that when he happily went away and played quietly that something was up. 

W vs. echo

Me: (finishing a glass of OJ) aaahh.
W: (from the other room) aaahh.
Me: I'm gonna get Weston and tickle him.
W: I'm gonna get Weston and tickle him.
Me: Are you copying me?
W: Are you copying me?
Me: I'm gonna get you!
W: No you're not, I'm too fast!

W vs. new toy camera

Overheard:

Weston: (holding up his new camera) Dallin, say "cheeeeese".
Dallin: CHEEEEEEEEESE.
Weston: (takes picture, examines it) That was a GOOD one!

W vs. a big new house

W: Mama, I want our next house to be BIG!
Mama: Who's going to clean it?
W: Ummm... Daddy.
