I've suddenly began to realize how different my life has been since I had a child. I don't know why it took two years for it to finally hit me, but I can't believe that I'm a mom! Maybe it's just that I'm in the toddler stage. But I find myself saying the funniest things these days.
"Angelo, you already have wawa in your dado!" That's mom speak. My son calls bottles dados, I'm really not sure why. Bah-tul and dah-dough sound nothing alike to me. But I say it anyways. Just as he picks up things from me, I'm picking up things from him. I figured out why he says wawa though. My husband is from El Salvador, and spanish was his first language. So wawa is a mixture of water and agua (Spanish for water). I find it very cute, and although I probably should correct him, I'd like to let his innocence last just a little bit longer.
He thinks everything is gross. Every time he sees a crumb on the floor he will bring it to me and say "ewwe!" The truck that parks next to me is ewwe because it has some old rusty tires in it. When he finds something unexpected, like a stringy green bean he spits it out and brings it to me with a disgusted look on his face.
He does have his annoying habits though. Whenever I eat a bowl of lucky charms he is over my shoulder picking out all the marshmallows and eating them for himself. Those are the best part and he knows it. And he constantly wants to go outside. He will go get my shoes and put them on my feet with a little puppy dog look on his face, then ask me, "outdied?" His favorite movie is Shrek. He knows what is going to happen and sometimes finishes the lines.
Every day is something new with him, and I can't wait to see what the future will bring.
