First complete sentence?

Proud moment at our house.  Peter’s first sentence (that he wasn’t imitating).  Drumroll, please…  “I juss poop”  (“I just pooped” in case your toddler speak is a little rusty)  The funny part was how he said it.  I saw him crouching in the dining room by a pile of toys.  He was looking so serious, and a bit concerned.  I asked him if he was okay and he looked up at me, kind of sad looking and said it.  It was so pathetic that it was cute.  Did he think I would be mad at him?

Before I had kids, I specifically remember a co-worker’s son saying to his dad that he needed his diaper changed.  I thought, “Seriously, if the kid can say that in a complete sentence, it’s about time he’s potty trained.”  Ha!  So judgmental!  The pre-parent me was a great parent.  In theory, of course.  :)
