Winnie

When children learn to talk they don't always get the names right at first. Cole loves Tic Tacs. But he either calls them Tic Tac Drawer (he says this as pointing at my dresser drawer where they are stored) or Tic Tac Toe (it sounds like it to us, but I don't think he'd know to say that). While my family was out he found out Grandma Maxine had his favorite orange flavored Tic Tacs in her purse. She had to change where she stored her purse so it was out of his reach. He would be walking by and just see her purse and start asking for Tic Tacs.

He recently learned the character Winnie the Pooh. Now at Cole's age he is fascinated when others go to the bathroom. He will follow you in there and ask, "pee-pee, poo-poo?" to ask you if you are going to the bathroom. He does know there is a difference because sometimes he will tell me "pee-pee, poo-poo" when he wants his diaper changed. If there doesn't seem to be an odor sometimes I'll ask him if he went poo-poo and he'll say, "wet". So he knows. But whenever he sees Winnie the Pooh, he just remembers the Pooh part and says, "pee-pee, poo-poo". Yes, you heard me right. My son calls good old Winnie the Pooh, "pee-pee, poo-poo". I tried to read him a Tigger book tonight and everytime Winnie appeared on a page Cole pointed and said "pee-pee, poo-poo". My appologies to the creator.
