Andrew's First Sentence

Andrew's expressive language is definitely expanding exponentially.  It seems that every day I hear him say a new word or two.  He also started identifying words in the songs I sing to him before bed.  So in the middle of "Hush Little Baby" I'll hear him say "baby", "mama", and "woof woof" (for the dog named Rover that I'll buy him if the cart and bull I bought him turn over.  For a long time I've been trying to get him to put too of his common words together into a sentence.  "Night-night Daddy", "Bye-bye Nana", or "Hi Mama" are all things we've tried to get him to say.  Well, a couple of weeks ago he finally said his first sentence.  Drum roll, please...
"No more poop."
Said during diaper changes, of course.  Yep, I've got good blackmail material.  Although, it seems to be pretty normal for toddlers to want to talk about bodily functions.  The first sentence my Grandma Olive heard me say?  To my doll who had just fallen off the swing and onto the ground, "Did you wet your pants again?"
