The Im Family

for some reason ozzy has changed the way he says words beginning with 'th', like thank and think .  instead of the usual "dank you!"  he says:  "stank you" and when i tell him to do something, he says, i can't right now.  i'm stankin' (thinking) about sumpin. i showed him how to place his tongue btwn his teeth to produce the /th/ and the voiced /th/ and told him to try that and say "thank you".  he puts his tongue between his teeth and says, "LUHank you" okay, bubby.  nice try.  ;)

so this year, ozzy is really starting to get the whole Santa thing (sometimes he calls him Christmas Claus).  i asked ozzy what he'd like santa to bring him for christmas and he immediately pipes up, "i want iphone!"  but then other times when i ask him, he says, "trains."  (ho hum.  really?  another one?)  last night ozzy stood in his bedroom, dumping out a deluge of trains all over the floor, and lamented, "i dont have enough.  i dont have enough trains."  i counted 40+ on the floor (and that's just the Take Along Thomas set, not including the geotrax, wooden thomas, and Tomy Thomas trains).  how many does he think he needs before he has reached "enough"???  maybe he's trying to fill a void in his life...filling them with trains.  i guess better this than drugs, drinking, or a Barney addiction. ozzy will be 29 months old this week.  and you know the stuff that makes Twos so terrible? the self centeredness, difficulty sharin...
