Conversations with a 2 year old

Eoin's verbal skills have really developed in the last couple of weeks. We can have conversations now which is so much fun but also a huge window into how his little brain works. Here are two for example:

At dinner time Eoin was sitting at the table and then proceeded to get down and go under the table.

Me: Eoin what are you doing?
Eoin: Climbing under table.
Me: Why?
Eoin: Being naughty - huge grin

Eoin is always a little reluctant to leave his warm and cozy crib after a nap and so sometimes I have to 'bribe' him to come out.

Me: Eoin I have a surprise for you. Would you like to see it?
Eoin: Of course (this answer always cracks me up!).

So off we go to the sitting room and we look out of the windows.

Me: Look it's been raining. Now we can put our rain boots on and go jump in puddles.
Eoin: Not surprise. Want other surprise.
Me: What surprise do you want.
Eoin: Box, present, surprise.
Me: I don't have a present for you.
Eoin: Truck bring box (being the UPS delivery truck!).

Nothing gets by this kid! I look forward to some more funny conversations with him in the coming months.
