This is Robot. Eli actually loves Robot and sleeps with him every night. Robot sings him songs....well, his Mom does and makes Robot do the actions to Wheels on the Bus and whatever other songs Eli requests...but anyway. Point being, Eli and Robot are tight.
So tonight, Eli was calling Robot a "Dip". I don't know where he's heard that before....
Kind of like that one day at daycare, when the adorable and sweet director was asking Eli about his "All About Me" poster. She said, "Awww...Eli, is that your puppy?!"
Eli replied, "Yep. That's Rosie Posie Clark. She's a JERK."
ME: "Oh...hahahaha....(nervous laugther)....kids these days. Where DO they come up with this stuff? Just kidding. That one was totally from me."
Anyway....
Tonight, Eli was putting Robot to bed and he said, "Go to bed, you Dip!"
ME: "Poor Robot. You are hurting his feelings. You shouldn't call him names like that."
Eli: "Robot doesn't have feelings, Mom! He has buttons."
(That's true).
ME: "Well, we still shouldn't call him names. Go to bed."
Eli: "Robot, you're a DIP."
I snorted out my nose and tripped out the door into the kitchen where Steve asked what was wrong with me and I tried to recount this story through my laughter. Steve went in there to say good night to our precious little son.
Steve opened the door...
Steve: "Goodnight Eli. I love you."
Eli: "DAD! Ugh. I'm trying to sleep!"
ME: More snorting and hysterical kitchen laughter.
I don't know where they get it from.

That cracks me up Mel!! I had a similar night last night. Owen must have had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Well needless to say, he was abruptly woken up in the middle of going to the bathroom in his bed by accident. He turned on his light and scared the Bejesus out of me. I went in there and I said what happened.
He said, "I peed in my underware and it isn't my fault."
I said "I know, you were just trying to go to the bathroom."
Owen: "No I wasn't, I was just trying to sleep."
I just giggled and helped get him changed and back to bed. :)
Oh the wonderous moments of parenthood. Hope you are doing well!
