We were probably pretty lucky actually; he heard the phrase on a CD of <a href="http://www.rockyhorror.com/main.php" target="_blank">The Rocky Horror Picture Show</a>. I've got to stop playing that....and several other things (he's also a big fan of <a href="http://www.meatloaf.net/" target="_blank">Meatloaf</a>, and of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0533466/" target="_blank">Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Musical</a>).<br /><br />My wife thought it would be cute if we taught him to say it whenever he dropped something. Sometimes my wife totally confounds me. First, she'll tell me that I shouldn't "show him off like a trained seal." The next day she proposes something like this.<br /><br />Anyway, Ethan picks this up pretty quickly and is soon saying "Uh-oh" whenever anything falls off his highchair tray. And, like most things all children do at this age, it's pretty cute. Until one day when I have my back turned and I hear him say "Uh-Oh!" I turn around, looking at the floor to see what he's dropped, and ask "What's 'Uh-oh' Ethan?" He promptly takes his sippie cup and throws it into the living room as hard as he can. He then says "Uh-oh!!" and grins wildly.<br /><br />We probably should have seen that one coming.Robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05702139198101690373noreply@blogger.com
