Simism

Simeon has picked up on a few key phrases lately.  One of his favorites is “too many times.”  I’m not quite sure where he got this, but he uses it to answer lots of “why” questions:

Me:  Sim!  It’s time to go potty!

Sim:  NO!  I don’t want to go potty!

Me:  Why not?

Sim:  Because I go potty too many times.

**

Me:  Okay, let’s wash hands.

Sim:  NO!  I don’t want to wash hands!

Me:  Why not?

Sim:  Because I wash hands too many times.

**

Hannah:  Sim, can I unbuckle you?

Sim:  NO!

Hannah:  Why not?

Sim:  Because you unbuckle me too many times.

**

Michael:  Sim, it’s time to get ready to go to bed!

Sim:  NO!  I don’t want to go to bed.

Michael:  Why not?

Sim:  Because I go to bed too many times.

Now that we know how he’s going to answer almost every “why” question, you might think we’d stop asking.  However, it’s so darn cute to have him inform us that he’s done something too many times (such a jaded two-year-old) that we can’t seem to stop ourselves.
