I think the next time I sit down to write such emotional drivel, I'll turn my chair really quickly to the left and smash my shin into the desk. That'll get rid of my blues real quick like.
Moving on.
I think Katie is learning at least a word a day now. Some of them she only has to hear once.
Here's a few examples:
ahhhmeee - yummy
eeeeeyah - her sound for a donkey
urk - work
buck - bucket
bobby ga - bouncy chair
cahkey - cupcake
poppy - potty
Today, I made a passing comment to her on how some guy I called sounded like her Uncle Junior. Two minutes later, she's repeating his name over and over and over in the backseat. When we got home I showed her a picture of him. She can now scan all the pictures in her album and find him.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, our two favorite new words of the month!
Drumroll please.......
Cock and Bitch.
Yep. You read that right. Cock and Bitch.
Cock is Katie's word for couch. And what's even better, is that if you couple that with her word for "more" you've got yourself a shocking statement. Do you know how hard it is NOT to get embarrassed when your 16 month old daughter is yelling at the top of her lungs, "Muh cock! Muh cock!"?
Bitch is Katie's word for pants. I think she is actually saying "bints". The problem is that the 'n' is not quite audible and the 's' is lisped. So you get bitch. I was changing her diaper the other day and announced to her, as I always do, "Now, it's time to put your pants on!". She answered me with a loud and exclamatory, "Bitch!".
There really isn't much opportunity to say "pants" in public. So I shouldn't really be worried, right?
HA! Alas, she has now applied "bitch" to plants as well. Everywhere we've gone in the past two days I've had to deal with her pointing randomly and saying matter-of-factly, "bitch."
One of these days I'm going to end up getting my ass kicked.
