OH...

Tobin's sentences continue to grow in complexity. Which basically means his demands are clearer and more foreceful. Especially because he feels the need to YELL THEM AS LOUD AS HE CAN. It's annoying and funny all at once. (Unless it's been a long day and a headache has set in.)

His latest thing is to respond to everything with 'Oh'. He'll point to a picture in a book (he loves books) and ask what it is and then respond with, 'oh.' You'll tell him a story, 'oh.' He'll ask why he has to turn the hose off outside - because it's flooding the yard and I can't afford it! - 'oh.'

It's common enough that Googie (who watched the boys for a couple hours last night so Kristen and I could catch a movie) mentioned it when we got back home. It's really cute, probably because the way he delivers it (in response to anything) is so matter-o-fact. I'll try to get a recording of it one of these days before he grows out of the habit.
