Commonly heard about the house

Both Will and Dom have started talking up a storm, as the saying goes. Will is able to let us know exactly what he wants (in his own mind) and if we do not comply in, oh, I'd say about 10 seconds (perhaps less) he will start doing his impersonation of the Nazgul and will screech until we finally give him what he has been so patiently waiting for.

Though, on the occasion we decipher what he is saying, the reward is a giggle and head nod.

Here is an excerpt of just such a conversation:

Will: "reo?"

Dad: "crackers?"

Will: (shakes head) "NO! Reo?"

Dad: "cheese stick?"

Will: (starting to show signs of distress) "Uh uh" (pointing at cabinet) "Reo?"

Mom: (saving the day) "He wants cereal, Eric"

Dad: "Cereal?"

Will: (nodding head and giggling) "'K!"

(runs to cabinet with bowls and pulls everything out to get the specific one he wants and runs to little table. Sees the table is covered with toys and starts frantically clearing everything off to make room)

Dad: "Here you go"

Will: "Thank you! Muk?"

Dad: (totally confused) "More?"

Will: (jumps up to run to fridge) "Muk!"

Dad: "MILK!!!!"

Mom: "Way to go, Dad!"

There are three phrases that Dom will use frequently on any given day. These phrases consist of:

"Good job, Mom!" used at any time that Mom accomplishes something whether it is fixing the garage door (and might I add, I particularly appreciated someone noticing the work I had done), or cutting vegetables for lunch.

"OOOO! I like it!!" used when playing games on the computer or eating cut vegetables (though more commonly used when eating the super rare cookie) or picking out favorite books to read.

"I rock!" This phrase is heard most frequently after using the potty. Though, I would like to add that Dom even admits that he got this from a Curious George computer game and that his parents do not make a habit of saying "you rock!"

We prefer the classic line from Toy Story: "Way to go, Idaho!"
