Toddlerisms or One-of-a-kindisms?

Kids are funny, when they aren't throwing things or picking on the husband.

The other night, I put Christian in the shower with me. It is much faster this way, he is supervised, I can pamper myself a bit, and he doesn't recognize different body parts yet... don't judge. Back to the point, Christian was sword fighting with his foam bathtub city street puzzle thingys. I didn't ask any questions UNTIL he said David. Whaaaa the whaaa? David?! Christian's imaginary friend had decided to join our community shower. I felt awkward.

At least his other friend, Jaiden, didn't hop in too! Not to mention the mean closet monkey, the tiger, the big dragon, and the little puppy...

This highly imaginative kid also has some pretty sophisticated eating habits and mature movie preferences. Here he is enjoying smoked oysters and some turnip greens doused in balsamic vinegar, while watching his X-Games skateboarding DVD (the ONLY movie he will watch from beginning to end)...
