Huh?

Making pipecleaner animals with Alex.  I made a dog.  He didn't want a dog. I made a mouse.  He didn't want a mouse. I ask him "What do you want then?"  he replies "I want a rabbobairs" I don't know what that is.  Rabbit ears?  No.  Rambo bears? No. Rabbi hairs? No. 

I just don't know.

**Updated**

It seems he means to say grasshoppers. 
"WABOBERS! WABOPPERS!" 
"Grasshoppers?"
"YEAH! WABOPPERS! WABOPPERS!"

But then things got confused again when I said, ok, I'll make a grasshopper, then he said "NO! I want Waboppers. WABOPPERS!" and pointed to the ziplock bag I had the pipecleaners in.  When asked "Are you just trying to say pipecleaners" he will only reply "WABOPPERS! WABOPPERS!"

I am so confused.

**Updated. Again**

Ok, so I think he thinks that pipecleaners are called Waboppers because now he's shoving a pipecleaner into a matchbox car and saying "Wabopper in dere!"  I try to get him to say pipecleaner, but he just looks at me and smiles saying "WABOPPER! No pipecweenah. WABOPPER!"  Gah!  Fine. Wabopper it is then.

That is funny. Grant is getting to the point where he is pronouncing things pretty well. I guess in school they correct him when he says something wrong. But I love it when he says something wrong. I think it is adorable. I want him to go to high school saying fighter fighter, which is of course a fire fighter! When he says things like that you should write them down, I wish I would have now that Grant doesnt say them any more and I am forgetting.

I personally like waboppers the most also they should have named them that anyways, it makes them as fun as Alex knows they are.
