Little Man has reached the phase where he says, "Owe!" over and over again until some responds with, "Are you okay?" or "What happened?"  Some might find this phase endearing; I find it annoying.  Seriously - a minor trip or a small bump to the leg does not require my mommy medical attention.  My mommy medical attention, however is what he gets...simply to save my sanity, I respond after hearing "owe!" 3 - 4 times.  
Yesterday morning I was in the kitchen at 6am preparing my lunch, my bag and the daycare bags before heading up to get the kids.  I mistakenly left the monitors on overnight, so I heard a sleepy "Owe."  "Owe." "Owe."  "Owe."  "Owe." "Owe." then an annoyed "Owe."  "Owe." "Owe." "Owe."  "Owe." "Owe." 
I knew that I needed to make my move or he would just keep going for the next 15 minutes.  I went upstairs and this is how the conversation went:
Me:  What's the matter buddy?
Little Man:  That wall hit me in the face.
Me:  Are you okay?
Little Man:  Yeah, but the wall just hit me in the face.
Me:  That stinky wall.  Can you go back to sleep for a few minutes?
Little Man:  Yeah.
Fast forward and hour and we are at Daycare.  Here was the conversation that took place there as we walked in the door.
Little Man:  Miss Cathi.  The wall hit me in the face this morning.
Miss Cathy:  Why'd the wall go and do that?
Little Man:  I don't know.
Miss Cathy:  Darn wall.
And this was the way the morning starting.  This little episode I did find endearing and humorous, thereby making it an exception to my "this is so annoying" typical attitude to this phase.
