Identity Crisis

TT: Spell your name.
Me: M-O-M
TT: No, tell me spell your name.
Me: Ok, spell your name.
TT: T-H-E-O-D-O-R-E,  Teddy.
Me: No, that's Theodore.
TT: No. I am not Fee-a-dore. I am Teddy.
Me: Yes, Teddy is short for Theodore. You are Theodore W... N....
TT: No. I am Teddy Nadore.

We have this conversation at least once a day. Sometimes two or three times. He is very insistent that he is right and I am wrong. But I will eventually win this one... because we  I am right.... but I will take my time. There is no reasoning with a 3-year old. Everyone knows that.

TT-isms

Here are a couple of TT-isms from today. I swear this kid is all about the "one liners" some days.

~ Both of these happened during church this morning.

After hearing the priest say "Jesus Christ".
TT says as loud as possible in a very quiet church.
"Jesus Christ??? We don't say Jesus Christ"

Deacon says "Brother and Sisters"
TT says "Where are my sisters?"

~ Yesterday TT started being obsessed with having salad for dinner. This was a step for him. He loves veggies, and salad dressings, but he normally doesn't like lettuce. Last night he has a salad with dinner, and to no one's surprise he doesn't eat the lettuce. Tonight he asks for salad with dinner again. And again I oblige. Tonight instead he starts pulling out all of the lettuce and asks me:
"Who put these leaves in my salad?"
