At 2 1/2 plus years of age Sebastian has recently been picking up words and sentances from people and movies like some kind of automated human recording device. There are a lot of funny examples and luckily we have been able to lock down the occassional potty mouth so there haven’t been any shocking outbursts… yet.
Ratatouille has become one of SD’s favorite movies. And though he refers to it as ‘Mouse Movie’ (said very quickly so that it sounds like one word) we always know what he means when we start hearing ‘Mouse Movie, Mouse Movie, Mouse Movie’. There is a scene in Gusteau’s restaurant where the character Linguine stands in front of the kitchen staff to give a speech and he calls everyone in a circle by saying ‘attention’! Well, for whatever reason this has caught on with Sebastian and at any given time during the day you may see him hoist himself up onto a chair or the couch and in his boyish way shout out ‘attention attention’ as to summon us to a meeting. We are still waiting to see what all the hype is about as he has yet to get into the meat and potatoes of what he has to say!
Ah kids…
