Aire Jr. did that when he was around 3. Loved calling Mr Aire by his first name.

My oldest niece found this to be the funniest thing ever. My middle niece however was completely confused by the concept. "Her name isn't Kathryn is Mama!  "

The first time she said it I was so confused. "Eesa? What's eesa? Show me eesa?" Really, a good ten minutes of this and the lightbulb came on. I swear, I think she rolled her eyes and sighed when I caught on.
We have this game called "Not my tushy!" where she chases me around the house patting me on the tushy while I say in a shrill, silly voice, "No, not my tushy!"
Yeah, fun times!

I'm not sure Lib or Will ever went through that, and Jake is 4.5 now so maybe the time has passed for him also.
My girlfriend & her siblings always referred to their parents as Ward and June (the Clever's). I always thought that was funny.

Cute. Sorry, but I remember when all three of my kids went through this stage. It seems frustrating, but they grow out of it. It's a time when they really learn what's going on around them.
It could be worse. I'm now entering the world of...
<insert attitude> "OK MOTHER!" :rolleyes: <insert more attitude> 
Oh how I miss the "Marcie" days.

It's amazing how young that attitude starts, too. She's soooooooooooo MY daughter.

Actually, the squinty smilies is a lie. I think it's cute and funny and interesting and really makes me realize how much my little cutsie wootsie is aware of. It's just...weird. For a while she would call us both "honey" and it was really too cute.
You know that stage where toddlers just have to close open doors, and vice versda? Well, that particular obsession is raging. She likes to go into our bedroom closet and close the door whenever we are in the bedroom. Thing is, I bring her into our bedroom when I take a shower, and, of course, I have to constantly step out of the shower to open the door for her. And she promptly locks herself in.
So yesterday, before I got into the shower, I stuck a hanger in the crack of the door so she couldn't close it all the way. Boy was she pissed that she couldn't close that door. It was cute to watch, though. At first, when she couldn't close it, she moved everything within ten feet of the door away (hamper, socks, shoes, sticker etc.), thinking everything was getting in the way of the door closing. She even moved a rather large ball of cat fur off the floor. Still couldn't close the door.
Man, she was really really pissed.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets some entertainment value watching my toddler get frustrated
