I'm almost embarrassed to admit this, but Ruben's first self initiated two word combination was "one more" (single finger included). No, not one more candy or one more fun game. No, Ruben was asking for one more episode of "How I Met Your Mother."
Karl and I have been watching the series after the kids go to bed. On Friday night, Ruben was up late because he hadn't pooped yet that day and so needed to run around the house to get it all squeezed out. Three poopy diapers later and we were finally ready to think about sleep but all the running around had gotten him riled up. Karl and I were ready to relax and watch some TV and stop changing poopy diapers so we all three trooped downstairs and turned on the show (this was shortly after poopy diaper #2, so we still had a bit of time to waste). By the end of the first episode, Ruben was starting to calm down and was sitting next to me on the couch seemingly entranced with the show. The ending credits roll, and Ruben looks over at us, puts up his pointer finger and says, "Won Mo." I'm glad to know that we've had such a good influence on Ruben's entertainment choices. Keep it up, parents of the year!
