"Used to be" and "A little bit"

Matthew's learned the phrases "used to be" and "a little bit." So now he says them all the time.

Jumping down from a chair, he narrated, "Just hop down... a little bit."

Out for a stroll, his running commentary included, "Jeep used to be in garage door. Truck used to be in garage door." (They were both in the driveway.) "Garage door open a little bit. Two garage door open a little bit!"

Looking at the humidifier in our room, "Used to be in Matt's room!"

Looking at some books in his room, "Used to be in livingroom!"

While eating, "Matt eat cantaloupe. Just a little bit."

Looking in his milk cup, "All gone!" *hysterical laughter* (Milk's not all gone.) Then, "Just a little bit!"

Putting soap on his hands, "Just a little bit!"

About his crayons, which are now stored in a cup, "Used to be in box."

About Sam, "Used to be in Mama!" Followed up by, "Sam go back in Mama?"


It used to be that Matthew just talked a little bit. Ha.
