Yes, I said repetition. And a lot of it.
Back when I was young and easily bugged by my kid brother, he used to love the way his voice sounded saying the same phrase. Over. And over. And over again. In his case, he chanted, "Bicentennial, centennial." Over. And over. And over again. It was insanely annoying. Especially in the car. (Come on, back me up here, Kam!). I thought Preston was probably the ONLY child in the world obsessed as such, and it was my unlucky fate to have to take road trips with the kid.
Not so.
My boy; my sweet, nearly perfect (until he went to first grade), oldest child is also a repeater. Luckily, he hasn't yet chosen a 'special phrase' that he uses each time. But, anything that comes out of his mouth is subject for repeating. Just to make sure it still sounds as cool the second time. And the third. And the 15th.
"Five-oh-one. Five-oh-one. Five-oh-one. Five-oh-two. Five-oh-two. Five-oh-two. Five-oh-two."
Etc.
That is simply ONE example of ONE time (out of many today, unfortunately) that I had to remind Dallin that repeating things over and over again is annoying to those around you.
It is only the first day of Christmas break. Help!
P.S. I have to say, by way of redemption, Dallin IS my most festive child, so it is fun to have him around. When he's not busy repeating everything, he SINGS Christmas carols all around the house. It is darling and reminds me of the magic of Christmas.
P.P.S. For my CS friends...if you haven't already, you need to check out the light display on Windjammer that, as Kate says, "dances to the music." Drive by with your kids. They'll love it!

Is it something about the age? Tyler is a big repeater...wow! Annoying!
And we love that light display, too. So much fun!!
We just took the kids to that light display. I was amazed and the kids mesmerized!
So what you're saying is that you're lucky enough to have a son as smart, cool, funny, and handsome as your brother? I thought so.
As I recall, MY eldest oft repeated "Watch me mom, watch me mom, watch me mom, watch me mom!" I still love to watch her go!
Yes, Pres...my thoughts EXACTLY! You definitely know how to read between the lines!;)
I do remember this well, Ade. Another one of his phrases was "socks and shoes, socks and shoes, socks and shoes, etc...."
At least now we realize that he wasn't purposely trying to annoy us (maybe!), he was just a normal 6 year old boy who can't help but be annoying sometimes! :)
