Say it again!

We are a household of talkers. Keith and I chat, Will talks non-stop, and now Archer is babbling up a storm and throwing out some new words. Archer seems to get fixated on one word and decides to use it to its full extent. His current word is "this". He started using it last week and now when he wants something, he point and says "this? this?" over and over again. The problem is that I'm not sure which "this" he means. Is it a toy, his milk, the phone? Who knows! But at least he's learning. He is infatuated with our phones, both the home phone and cell phones. He knows how to work our smart phones and can even unlock Keith's screen. That's some solid security feature if a 15 month old can crack it! At least he's not asking to play Angry Birds...yet. So if you get some weird text or call from one of us, you know AD was busy on the phone.
Will continues to be quite the linguist. As a big 4 year old, he's certainly picked up some new vocabulary, some of it positive...some not. We were eating dinner the other night and in his ploy to not eat, Will entertained us with all sorts of stories. He's quite a storyteller these days. He makes up elaborate tales about people needing help, being rescued, getting lost, finding new friends, etc. The other night he told us he either wants to be a firefighter or a cat when he grows up. LOL! Or maybe a firefighter cat, which seems the most realistic to me! Will wasn't a fan of the dinner I made the other night and told me, "Mom, this dinner is a distaster." hahahahaha The honesty is priceless!
