Milo says...

Some other funny or impressive Milo-isms:

-"Schmutz" I'm personally very proud of this, though I'm thinking I've been mispronouncing the yiddish word "schmutz" all these years. Milo appropriately uses it to identify anything that shouldn't be there, i.e. "Mommy, some schmutz on me" (when there was dirt on his knee), "little schmutz on there" (when there is something on his hands or on whatever he's eating...) Highly useful term, I must say.

-"Daddy body slam!" Perfectly emphasized when Mike was laying on his back during a picnic recently. Soon followed by the appropriate action. Also works when wanting to smash our fluffy Siamese, "Charlie body slam!"

-"It disappeared!" Milo said this as he was covering his dinner with an empty bowl. I know, not earth shattering, but I thought fairly impressive for a 2-year old.

-While waiting in line to board the zoo train, Milo was low to the ground doing a low squat shuffle with his butt a couple inches off the ground and advancing through the line past unsuspecting people. When I asked him to come back, he turned around with a big grin on his face and said, "Milo sneaky!"
