Whoopsie, Shoot, and Oh Man!

These are the 3 words that I hear Alek saying quite often. Last night as Rafal and I were going to bed, we heard Alek in his bed saying "Whoopsie, Whoopsie." Rafal went in to see what the problem was and Alek had dropped his plug and couldn't find it. Rafal gave Alek his plug and then he was right back to sleep. Anytime Alek drops something he says "Whoopsie." Every time I hear him say it, I just laugh.

"Shoot" is his other word, which isn't the worst word in the world, considering the alternative, but I guess I need to teach him a better word. If he's trying to do something and he can't, then he'll say "Shoot." He was trying to screw a penny to the wall with his drill and after several attempts, realizing it wouldn't stay on the wall, looked at me and said "Shoot Mama."

"Oh Man" is what he says when he's disappointed about something. He will usually put his head down and in a sad voice utter the words "Oh Man." The other day in nursery, he wanted to play with a train that someone else was playing with, so he tried to give that child another toy in exchange for the train. When the child refused his request, he walked over to me, put his head down and said "Oh man."

Alek is talking so well and I love to hear all the new words he learns. I just have to be careful because he loves to repeat whatever you say.
