#Makemesmile: The Things He Says

So, our family has been going through some trying phase recently, with some new changes coming (No, I am NOT pregnant!) and speaking for myself, my soul is downcast on some days. However, this is not the focus of this post because I found many positive things around me too.

I have been watching my @littledrummerboy recently and I noticed he loves to match his colours. Sometimes, he can be quite particular about it. I came into the room, watching him do his things.

This is him matching his coloured cups with his respective Paw Patrol pups with the different colours.

If we disrupt his "strategy" by purposely mismatching them, he would turn and looked at us and said, "Noooooo!"

Another round of matching them on the floor.

Oh yeah, there is this funniest thing he has been saying. If you noticed, there's a Mr. Potatohead in a Captain America's costume among his pups. Instead of Mr. Potatohead, he calls it "Mr. Topato". He swapped the syllables around because I think perhaps he has yet to get it how to say 'potato'. Lol.

Assembling his Mr. 'Topato' and made it go for a slide, he said.

This time, it is just the Paw Patrol pups, arranged according to the rainbow colour sequence. He has been bugging me to get Everest, because she is purple, by asking me, "Hey Mummy, where's purple? Everest is purple."

Recently, he is very into starting his words phrase with "I think...... ". So, he is sounding like an adult with a lot of things that he thinks.

"I think... It is over there!"

"I think... It is blue, Mummy!"

Today I was trimming his front hair. After that, I asked him, "Can I trim your hair again? There are some parts that seem a bit long."

He replied, "No, mummy. I think.... Scared." So, I explained that I will be careful and won't hurt him, so he doesn't have to feel scared if I have to trim it again. Then he said, "Okay!" (But I'm pretty sure he will be struggling again when the time comes!)

He really says the cutest things these days. I lined up the letters of his name, L-E-V-I, and asked him, "What's this?"

He replied me, "Hey, that's me, Levi is me, " pointing to his own tummy.

Another thing that he always says recently is, "Mummy, put down phone. " or "Daddy, put down phone." which makes me feel quite guilty. If we still continue to use, he would snatch our phones and put them away for us. The most 'serious' case was he took his daddy's phone, ran out from the room and placed it on his mat outside, making sure it was far away enough. He would do this while giggling because he thinks it is funny.

Daddy's phone was 'confisticated'!

We learn that he wants our undivided attention more, so yes I will reduce my time on Steemit as well as Discord for his sake.

Just last night, he said bye bye to his daddy. His daddy asked him where he was going and he said, "I find Mummy." Actually, I was just in the kitchen for a moment and was about to get back to them.

All these little things that Levi has been doing, make us smile (and laugh too)! He is such a joy and he has been laughing at the most unexpected things, like Squirtle on my Pokemon Go, which I seldom play anymore. I love growing up with Levi! He's the most interesting person I know (with much biasness as his mum) :P

Thank you for reading about my parenting life. This is an entry to @elizacheng's #makemesmile contest. Because of her contest, I have always been finding things in my life worth smiling and appreciate the people in my life more. Do check out her contest!
