OWs & Eyeballs!

That's pretty much all the kids have said for the past week. It all started with their love of our neighbor, Cody. Whenever he "falls", goofs around, etc. he'll say, "ow!" So the kids began saying it. ALL THE TIME. I had a discussion about "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" and how we use words like "help" "ow" "fire" only in emergencies. So the kids ditched the word "ow" and began using the word "eyeball" in it's place. NOW they use "eyeball" ALL THE TIME. Not sure why but that's THE word to use.

At the store, "Hey little girl. You are a cutie. How are you?"

TJ: "eyeball!"

Noah: "eye-ball eyeball. eye-ball eyeball. eyeball eyeeee-ball eyeball." (aka "Jingle Bells")

He also does it to "It's a Small World" and just about every other song he wants to sing.

TJ: "Hey eyeball!"
Noah: "What eyeball?"

TJ: "Do you want to eyeball?"

Noah: "No, you eyeball. I eyeball eyeball yesterday."

And so on... good thing they are cute!
