One of the pros to having a talking toddler is that they inadvertently will narrate or comment on something that cues you in on potential messes or misbehavior. For example, when I was a child I would say "not nice" whenever I was doing something naughty.
Similarly, Man-cub D will say things like "BUG!" if he sees one in the house (which is useful for me because he's closer to the ground and will notice them more). He also will say "booger" if he happens to pick his nose and strike gold, thus alerting me to grab a tissue. He says "uh-oh" if he drops or throws something. All of these things are words he says not necessarily to alert me, but I get the added benefit anyway.
What does your toddler narrate?
Fun memories!
