I think it all started around Christmas time, when the boys would say goodmorning and goodnight to the Christmas tree. That's when they starting greeting inanimate objects as they would people.
We haven't really discouraged it, as it helps the boys learn and remember new words. But I realized this morning that it is maybe getting a little out of control.
Do you know how many things they say goodbye to as we are pulling out of the driveway in the morning?
First, they say goodbye to whatever vehicle we aren't driving (Bye truck).
Now, they understand that we are leaving our house - our home - so that is next on the list (Bye house)
With spring, the boys are loving all the flowers blooming...so they get a special nod now too (Bye flowers)
Some mornings, we say goodbye to the moon and stars (if they are out), or have a lengthy discussion about how they are sleeping if we aren't able to find them.
When it's just me and the boys, we also have to say goodbye to Daddy - even though he can't hear them.
I think the topper for me this morning was saying goodbye to the easter bunny cake I am doing for Sunday - at least THREE times!
And I am sure that when we get home, we will greet all of these same items...because they are all part of our family in the eyes of our two year olds.
Hope everyone has a great day!
