Fun with words

My car has one of those dashboard panels that tells you info about the car. The other day it informed me that the door was ajar. I said, "the door is ajar," in a robotic voice and Sebastian repeated it. When I laughed he said, "the jar is a door." I laughed harder, so he started to really improvise. Some of my favorites:

"The tree is a sign."
"The house is a car."
"The shoe is a bus."

He's continued to work this new shtick into many a car ride since.

Wish I had a picture of this!

We were decorating the Christmas tree this past Sunday and Sebastian was sitting on the step stool, which has a tall handle to carry it when it's folded. He held onto the handle and pushed off of the seat so that he was dangling, monkey style, from the stool. He then declared, with pride:

"I'm an ornament!"
