My son A.J. aka "Pito" (pea-toe) is one of the 4 loves of my live, I believe each child of mine brings something amazingly special to the table, Pito brings us endless laughter, joy and occasionally tears.
Pito like most 2 year olds does not have an easily recognized vocabulary, and one word can easily be used to describe, well.. pretty much anything. Let's take the word "Hoaken" for an example.
Hoaken is Pito's way of saying " broken" pretty much everything in my house at one time or another has been hoaked or hoaken according to him.
When Pito comes running into the room, or running out of the room, chances are it's hoaken.
When he puts toys in the toilet - it's hoaken, when he colors on things he's not supposed to, he hoaked it. When he can't get his shoes on, those are hoaken too.. so naturally when I hear those famous words " utoh mommy hoaken!" I take it with a grain of salt.
Pito has recently discovered the game Angry Birds, to say he is obsessed would be an under statement, every night I plug my phone into the charger and every morning I look over and see he tail end of the charger, empty. Before asking for cheerios and seeee-ree-ale (cereal) I get asked for Angry Birds, IF I'm lucky. I have pretty much accepted the fact that I have lost the use of my phone, squaking and squeeling in the background are everyday commons in this house now. Thank God the battery dies out eventually! right?.... wrong...
My little man is smart, he picks up my phone, presses the top button, waits for the design lock to come on and puts in the code as if he's been doing it his whole life, the app screen pops up and he goes straight for angry birds, a child so smart, if only he knew to plug the phone back up when it started to die, would prevent it's later dying, or keeping it from getting hoaked!
Pito was playing birds, and the phone died. Instead of putting it on the charger or handing it to me, he decided it needed fixin, everyone knows a tech can not properly fix something without taking it apart right?
I wish I could say that this was a rare occurance, but he does this to my phone and my husbands every.single.day. I'm sure people will think I'm nuts but, for Christmas AJ is getting an Android tablet complete with his very own copy of Angry Birds and tamper proof backing. In exchange, I may actually be able to answer my phone calls, reconnect with friends and hang up on sales calls rather than entertain them with random babble for 5 minutes at a time, I think Pito has a fan club of 1-800 numbers, as they have NEVER called me as much as they do now.
Tomorrow brings us a fun filled day of buying out the NEX of all their Tide Bleach Pens and fixing the couch cushions and chair cushions that were also on Pito's hoaken list, and by hoaken I mean sneaking out of bed at 2 am and helping himself to Chef Boyardee... and feeding my living room/kitchen in the process.
