Mommy!

After an isolated event in the car on the way home last week that was not repeated so nobody believed me, he finally started calling me Mommy For Real this week. Today was we walked to the playground after school he was practicing.

Other new words this week include "nose" (which lacks the s sound, but is distinct from "no" in that it does not end with a w, is not said quite so vehemently, and is accompanied by touching somebody's nose, not necessarily his own), "pool" (silent l, a favourite since christening his pool earlier this week while Daddy was in the shower), "bubbles," "other side" (while launching over me), "outside" (which sounds exactly the same), and "please" (which was hard to distinguish from "Lambert, which is who he initially was asking for).

Now that he has Really gotten to grips with saying goodbye, he sometimes forgets, only to yell "BUB-BYE" as loud as he can when the person is just out of sight.
