Declan's Favorite Phrases

 I wanted to jot this down before I forgot because it's just the cutest, so I figured why not create a whole post about Declan's Favorite Phrases right now.

At 27 months, this boy keeps us on our toes.  Somedays he's an absolute love bug and other days, he lives up to the name "terrible two." But one thing is for sure, he's the best little boy and I'm so lucky to be his mama. I haven't been around a whole lot of kids and besides my own son, the last two year old I was really around was Nicole and she's 24 now so it's been a few years and I've lost a few brain cells over the past 22 years, so I don't really remember all of the things a typical two year old knows and does. 

I know I'm partial to my son but he seems to be a smarty pants to me.  He has full on conversations with us and picks up on everything going on around him.  Sometimes I think he's going on 4 or 5 and not two and a half and I have his school and my family to thank for everything they do for him and helping us raise him.

Here is a list of his current phrases that he uses when talking to us and probably the funniest thing is that he uses them appropriately and at the right time in conversation:

- Let's do it!

- I love it! (mimicking the GMC holiday commercial and using it with everything he loves)

- That's right.

- Mommy, can I help you?

- No more treats ma'am! (Talking to Kinny who sits and patiently waits for treats at the pantry all day.)

- No way Jose!

- See you later alligator!

- You're my best friend. (randomly he will say this to me, Michael, my mom, etc.)

- Let's talk freighters (sounds a bit like taters but he loves talking boats and about the Soo Locks with Daddy)

- Can I put a tab in? (one of Declan's chores is putting a dishwasher tab in so we can start the dishwasher, he absolutely loves being a helper)

- I need a quarter for my piggy bank. (after said chores, Declan gets a quarter for his bank and he won't let you forget it.)

I'm sure there are more that I'm forgetting but these are the ones that either crack me up or melt my heart every time I hear them. He's a charmer and a bit of a class clown and definitely keeps us on our toes!
