more times

Kenny, who has never been shy about asking for more of anything, has developed a fun new turn of phrase: "More times"

He will say this whenever you do something he likes and wants to happen again, such as: Reading a good book, singing a fun song, spinning him around over your head like helicopter propeller blades, building and destroying Lego houses, etc.

We're trying to be good parents and enforce the use of proper grammar and linguistics, so we often counter a request for "more times" by saying, "Undertake this endeavor on more than once occasion? Very well then." Of course, more often than not, we just submit to the cuteness and say, "Yeah, okay. More times."

It is worth noting that "more times" is a much more enjoyable thing to hear from Kenny than the phrase "bite tongue," which has occurred a few times lately, as the last of his teeth make their grand entrance into his dental neighborhood.
