A few of my favorite "Rudyisms"

Rudy is growing up so fast; it's hard to believe sometimes, but he's actually a real kid now...no longer a baby.

1. "Wait da me!" Which means wait for me but sounds like wait the me.
2. He LOVES his big brother. Right now, Brady is sleeping and Rudy is coloring on the floor. He's got a toy shark and he keeps picking it up and calling, "Braaady. Come see! Da shark."
3. If you do something he didn't want you to, he just says, "Heyyyy!"
4. "Me too!"
5. The number of ways he's come up with to say NO. It seems like an unusually large variety, even for a two year old: No. No like it. Nope. Nah. No way! No panks.
6. "Listen. Kids songs." And then, Rudy sings the kids songs. His current favorite seems to be My brother did it (also one of my favorite these days)!
7. "Pank you, Mommy"
8. "Wook, Mama" (Look, Mama)
9. "OK Mama" or "OK Dad"
10. "Ellybelly" which is everybody. We find ourselves concocting ways to get him to say this!
11. "Read da book"
12. "Blanket is?" "Airplane book is?" "Mustache is?" This is how he asks the location of any missing object. And, apparently, he calls a mustang a mustache.
