"Bear" bottom?

And we were doing so well... at putting our underwear back on after we went potty, that is. I am referring to the little guy, not myself. Then for some reaon, this week, he decided it wasn't quite necessary and goes for as long as possible with a little bare bottom before he redresses. I understand there is an element of freedom to run naked through the house, but we're trying to develop a habit here, one of not coming out of the bathroom until we're dressed.

This week I finally understood that perhaps I was being misunderstood. Denten saw the little streaker dart from the bathroom and head straight for the living room and I heard, "don't forget your underwear!" I intercepted and explained that we can't go around the house in just our bare bottom and that he needed to get dressed.

"What? There is a bear coming out my bottom?!" This said while craning his head around to view his backside and walking in a circle trying to get a better view.
Laughing out loud was all I could do before initiating a wrestling/tickle match attempting to re-underwear the child. I guess the term "bare" has one very specific meaning for a 2-year-old.

Funny number two: I came downstairs yesterday to Cooper pacing back and forth in the kitchen saying, "I so nervous." What? What did you say? Did you just say 'nervous?'
"Yeah, I so nervous, mom." Do you know what nervous means?
"Yeah," while still walking back and forth. What does it mean?
"just nervous, mom."
The moment ended and I began to wonder if I was turning my son into a worry-wart like myself, which would be a very unkind thing to do, but I can not remember even using the term "nervous" in the last week... I have not been nervous about anything in a while and I can't think where he would have picked up that word... again, where do they come up with these things??
