Killing with cuteness

Be warned, Rowan is armed and dangerous - he's wielding a deadly weapon kids his age do - CUTENESS. I always had a problem with the word "cute" - it's so overused. ( Like "empowered.") And broad. I mean, I've heard people say "cute mountain" or "cute elephant."
But is it cute when Rowan says " I like it eggs." (Or "I like it pants.") Is it cute when he wakes up singing loudly and goes on all day with his favorite song - ABCDEFG? Is it cute when he says, " Wow! Eesh nice outshide."
There is a goofier side to him too, as we're finding out. Aiming for a reaction from us (which he always gets) he'll wear one of my high heeled sandals and clomp around the house. Or try to do somersaults on the bed.
Kedar and he have a game (one of their many goofball games). When Rowan hears a bird chirping, he says with a comical look on his face, "What? What, birdie? You want candy? Noooooo, you can't have candy, you gotta have broccoli!"
You should hear it with his baby accent - if that's not cute, I don't know what the heck is.
