2 Years: Glossary

August has lately started correcting some of his cute little babyisms of speech. Mary and I both view this with a little pride and a lot of nostalgia because he's had some very cute little words in his vocabulary. In preparation for the time when we'd be at the hospital, I put together for his would-be care-givers (among other things) a little glossary of his August-terms. It looks like this:
  • Audus: August
  • Bussy: Butterfly
  • Dana, Badna: Banana
  • Grayberry, Grapeberry: Blueberry
  • Hattah: Helicopter
  • Huffle: Lehua (his cousin in Hawaii)
  • Lesh, Less, Lah: Yes, Yeah
  • Meeloo: Me and you
  • Moke: Milk
  • Ooshoo: Orange
  • Sauce: Apple Sauce
  • Scoomeez: Excuse me
  • Seepa tie: Sleepy time
  • Teetee: Kitty
  • Waddis: Watson
We also added this little clause into the document, which I include here with only a little bit of embarrassment:
Did he just say what I think he did!? Could be... he’s picked up some pretty shocking expletives from us before we realized what was going on and cleaned up our act around him. Try not to laugh when he curses.
