Uh-oh!

Nathaniel still isn't very big on talking. I was hoping he would start talking within a week or two of getting all that fluid drained out of his ears ... but I guess since we haven't even had the follow-up visit yet, it hasn't been all that long.

One thing he does seem to get, though, is the "uh-oh" sound people make ... usually when a minor accident has occurred. "Uh-oh, I dropped my keys," for example.

Nathaniel has a different take on things, though. He'll regulary push his sippy cup off his high chair tray, then dramatically exclaim: "Uh-oh!" Or drop a toy over a divider gate we put up to keep him out of the kitchen, wait until someone looks at him, then say "uh-oh!" Even if you give the toy back to him, he'll drop it again and say "uh-oh" again.

I keep telling him that it doesn't count as an "uh-oh" unless it's an accident, but he doesn't seem to get it ...

darn kid.
