and that's what he says whenever he puts on a pair of sunglasses. "Cool!" While it's not exactly my adjective of choice, it is still pretty stinkin' adorable. And really, it's the best adjective to describe a little guy with a smokin' pair of shades. "Cute" just wouldn't cut it."Cute" is one of his other favorites. Usually used to describe a baby in a picture or a dog we see on a walk. "Bad" is usually reserved for Ben when he is taking away toys. (and followed by "No, he's not bad! Can you help me find Ben a different toy?") But my favorite is "Silly." Usually used when we play "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and I take his hands into mine and make him do the motions. Other times it will come out during playtime, during peekaboo or whenever there is a funny picture in a book. It's funny how these little people are so quick to pick up on these abstract adjectives. Words like "red," "big," "happy," "sleepy" are somewhat easy to see. But "cool," "cute," "silly"? Very subjective, and yet he always seems to know the context in which to use them. My child, you amaze me.
