"Bad Dog"

Sam has learned his first two word phrase. And I am learning that I need to watch what I say on a regular basis. I know that I tell Ocho (the dog) that he is bad when he does something like try to nip at Sam or take one of Sam's toys. And I tell Sam that he is bad when he dumps out the dog's water or food or when he throws his entire dinner to the dog. You know normal everyday things that kids and dogs do! Now I didn't think that I really said it all that often, but about a week ago, I heard Sam's first two word phase, "bad dog," as he points and yells at the dog. Or he will go where the dog's food and water is and point at the water and say "bad dog." He has the concept going - he knows what bad is. The thing is he says this ALL the time now! Even when the dog is being perfect, he yells at him - "bad dog." I got a cute video - now of course he wouldn't say the phrase when I tried to video him, but he does say "dog" and a couple a seconds later "bad, bad, bad" and then the famous "no" comes out too when I ask him a question. Here's the video (remember I can completely understand what he is saying - to someone that doesn't have a 1 year old or it's been awhile you might not quit understand him!).
