How to Talk to a 2 Year Old

Recently I went for a car ride with Tayte. He talked and talked and talked. Here is the last third of that conversation.

Tayte: Hey Mom.
Me: What?
T: The stroller goes right there?
Me: Yes
(Repeat six times)

Tayte: Hey Mom.
Me: Tayte, what do you want!?
Tayte: Hey Mom. You holler at me.
Me: Baby you talk a lot. Can you please be quiet?
Tayte: Yes Mom.
Tayte: I'll be quiet
Tayte: Hey Mom. I'll be quiet.
Tayte: Hey Mom. I'll be quiet.
Me: Thank you, Tayte.
Tayte: I'll be quiet. My Shaye Baby sleeping.
Tayte: Her sleeping.
Me: Ok.
Tayte: I say, "Shhhhhhhhh"
Me. Ok.
Tayte: Not, "Hush."
Me: Ok.
Tayte: Not, "Shut up."
Me: Thank you.
Tayte: Daddy tell me, "Shut up."
Me: I know.
Tayte: Him say, "Shut up."
Me: I can't imagine why.
Tayte: I go to church.
Tayte: Look, water.
Tayte: Hey Mom. The stroller goes right there.

Seriously. This kid is adorable and I love him dearly. I cannot believe at one point I didn't ever think he would talk. I am thinking of taking him back to the doctor now to see if he is ever going to stop.

I am also considering buying stock in Tylenol.

(Also I will say this before any of my "in person" friends get the chance too - I can't imagine where he gets it!)

  1. Laughing my head off because my 2 year old is the same way! She is speech delayed and in speech therapy, but it seems like now the words she DOES say get repeated all day long!! I hate to tell her to be quiet as it has taken this long to get her to talk, but SERIOUSLY!!

    My 4 year old likes to tell me where the storller goes too! :)

    You have very cute kiddos!

  2. Is there truly a way to speak to a 2 year old? I think we listen, laugh, and love them for their unique look at life. They're just awesome!

MOMMY SUSH! HUSH! SHHHHH! NOOOO! Sometimes I think my ears might start bleeding when all three talk constantly from the time they wake up til the time they go to sleep ... and two of them talk IN their sleep. LOL Thanks for sharing your story!!

  7. There used to be a point in my day, when all my girls were little, that I would say, "Everyone must stop talking now!" I would ban talking for an hour because that was as much as their little selves could take before they exploded from all the talky talk dying to come out.

    Seriously great post.
