Me: "Gavin are you poopy?"
Gavin: "No."
Me: "Gavin are you lying?"
Gavin: nod...pause, "and tiger....ROAR!"
out on a family walk...
Gavin: "Wadder(water)....[looks meaningfully at me] ee i ee i oh!"
Me: blank stare
Gavin: "EE I EE I OH....MOMMY!"
Me: "Oh...um...Old MacDonald had a farm?"
Gavin: "Wadder, ee i ee i oh..."
Me: "Old MacDonald had water on his farm?"
Gavin: (in a 'i can't believe how slow you are' tone) ee i ee i oh!"
so we sang Old MacDonald had a farm and here are some of the things found on this most amazing farm(see if you can come up with good sounds for some of these things!)
water
dirt
cars
dinosaurs
dark
elephants
trucks
lions
horses
etc.
Now all he has to do is say a word and follow it up with ee i ee i oh, and I know we are off to Mac Donalds farm.
Any ideas how to get a 2 year old to stop eating dirt? Or drinking water out of puddles?

i think 2 going on 3 is such a cute age...
any idea how you can stop a 8 month old lickin the floor??
I just started! You inspired me....
I don't think you can stop an 8 month old from licking the floor...so why not give in and put him over the spots that need a little extra attention? =)
WELL I SAY DIRT AND PUDDLE WATER STRENGTHEN THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEMS SO WHY STOP IT HAHA
I'm not sure how that compares to repeated handfuls of damp sand as a baby (that would be Meg), being constantly on the lookout for old "stepped on stuck on the floor or the water fountain" gum to chew (that would be Aunt Laurie), drinking water the geese had pooped in (that would be Uncle Joel) or, amazingly enough, one of the few incidences that earned the particpants a trip to the emergency room to have their stomachs pumped - eating an azalea salad (that would be Uncle David and Aunt Laurie).
