As his language has developed, Sam has started coming out with some funny little lines. Here are some things that have had us laughing:

Uses “actually” to modify his sentences (“Actually, the snow is on the ground.”) Funny since he isn’t refuting anything anyone has said.

Says, “no way” instead of just “no.”  Me: “Sam, do you want to go upstairs?” Sam: “No way!”

After asking Ben to sing a bunch of songs for his entertainment, Sam interrupts Ben mid-song and, with a scrunched up nose, says, “Maybe a different song?”

I heard Sam talking to himself downstairs while he was playing solo: “So, I need to find a recipe…oh here it is!!”

Can be very enthusiastic! Me: “Sam, do you want to come see the box?” Sam: “I’d love to!”

He is picking things up from older kids too. He likes to put both hands on something and shout, “Base!”

We told Sam to say “excuse me” whenever he burps and he has self applied that rule to coughing. When he’s in bed, we’ll hear him over the monitor coughing and then he’ll immediately say, “Excuse me.”

The other day, after Ben came home from work, he went upstairs and changed from his suit into shorts. When Sam saw him he started laughing really hard and said, “Daddy! What happened to your pants?!”

When we made a cake for Ben’s birthday, I said to Sam, “It’s going to be yummy!” and Sam said, “Yeah! Tastes like vitamins!” (apparently vitamins are the end all be all of “yum”)

Sam was downstairs playing in the basement while I was busy cooking. He kept asking me to help him open a box so I said, “Mommy is busy and Daddy is at work, so you have to open it yourself.” Sam’s response was an excited, “Yeah! That’d be fun!”

Whenever we drop something, Sam says “Oops! that’s ok, Mommy!”

When we say he can’t touch something Sam says “touch this? in a high voice pointing to every single object nearby. Definitely likes to test his limits!
