Sometimes Isaac is just bound and determined to not do what we want him to do.  It is really funny watching him avoid our requests, especially when he does it with such vim and vigor.  Here is some proof:

We all have them--things we say that really have no meaning on their own and gain meaning after we say them a bunch.  Thing of them as personal catchphrases.  Well, Isaac has his first--Num, Num, Num.  We used to believe that it had to do with him liking the food he was eating, but we have caught him, while playing quietly on his own, saying this phrase to himself.  It caught on and now we have all kinds of variants.  See this video:

When I was little there was one go-to person for learning bad words, irreverent songs, and other choice bits of culture--Mary Alice O'Connor.  She taught me the Diarrhea Song and Another One Bites the Dust (awesome, especially when coming from the mouth of a six year old).

Isaac, however does not have the good fortune of living near the O'Connors, so someone other than Mary Alice has to be his source for all things slightly bad and funny.  Enter Nanna.  Last time they were here Nanna taught him to pick his nose.  Fortunately that went by the wayside pretty quickly.  This time she taught him what has rapidly become his most favorite phrase and probably his first grammatically intact and correct sentence: "Stop It!"

When you are 23 months old, this works for all sorts of things.

Don't want to get your diaper changed?  Stop It!

Don't want to give up that toy in your hand? Stop It!

Don't want to go inside?  Stop It!

Its GREAT!  Here he is giving me a few practice Stop It! sentences:
