Conversations with Zach

Let me start this post with this: I am not complaining that Zach can talk.  I will not tell Zach to stop talking - this speech has cost many people lots of time, effort, angst and most importantly - prayer.  However, I am asking that y'all start praying really hard that Zach gets some variety in his speech.  I thought, however, that it would be pretty entertaining to blog a few conversations...

Z: Where's daddy?

K: He went back to work.

Z: Why?

K: Because he has to let some people into the hanger.

Z: Why?

K: Because they want to use it.

Z:  Why?

I don't respond.

Z: Where's daddy?

K: At work

Z:  Why?

No response from me so the above continues for a few minutes.  Then Zach does a change up...

Z: Is daddy on the bus?

K: No. He's at work.

Z: Why

K: To let people into the hanger.

Z: Why.  He watch Car movie (comes out as Car boobie)

No response from me...  So Zach climbs on the window sill.

Z:  Mamma, mamma

K: What, baby?

Z:  Where's daddy?  

Then he finds something to play with.

Z:  Mamma, mamma

K: Yes honey.

Z:  What's this? (shows the object)

K: It's part of the blinds.

Z: Why?

Another frequent conversation...  This one just happened in the car as I was bribing him to come to the store with me.  I made the mistake of bribing him with M & M's.

Z: I want M&M's (pronounced nm n nms)

K: Ok, we'll get them at Walgreens.

Z: Ryan wants nm n nms

K: Ok, we'll get him some too.

Z: Daddy wants nm n nms

K: No, daddy wants Neco wafers.

Z: Why?

K: Because that's what he asked for.

Z: Why?

I don't answer...

Z: Mamma, mamma [taps on the shoulder]

K: What Zach?

Z: I want nm n nm

K: I know

Then this conversation cycles until I pick up a box of snacks for Ryan's class.

Z:  I want Nemo (he's on the box)

K: It's for Ryan at school.

Z: Why?

K: Because he needs a snack

Z: Why?

This cycles for awhile until we get back onto the nm n nm topic

[I thought this picture was Zach holding up Car's movie.  Nope, it's him holding up a package of underwear...  Same idea though...]

other popular topics that follow the same repetition:

* watching Cars

* Riding the bus

* Santa Claus and Baby Jesus

* Seeing Dana (his teacher)

* Playing baseball (but he actually means basketball)

* Dora, Diego and Nick Jr.

* Playground

* Christmas tree goes right here (and he points with his foot)

SO PLEASE!! PRAY FOR A VARIETY OF SPEECH FOR ZACHARY!!  I'M GOING CRAZY!!!!!
