Bradyn's vocabulary is developing quite well, but we are learning some very interesting synonyms he has created. Here's the list:
Clock = Neck
Cheeks = Jeep
Hockey = Yucky
Mouse = Mouth = Couch
Elbow = Elmo
Yes, we discovered these in the following way...every time we say "where's your neck?" he points to his neck and then the clock...mmm?? Or if he sees a clock, he points to his neck. Then whenever he sees a jeep (he can spot them a mile away!), he grabs his cheeks. When he sees hockey on the tv, he makes his yucky face...not because he doesn't like hockey! When we see a picture of a mouse, he points to his mouth. When he sees a picture of Elmo, he points to his elbow. As an educator, this is exciting, as this is an example of some very early stages of phonemic awareness...as a parent, it is quite confusing, but so adorable!!
BOO!!
One of Bradyn's favorite games to play is Boo! Basically, it is a hide-n-seek game. We chase him or he chases us and then we hide, when we are spotted, we say boo! When he plays the game with Papa, I help him out by pointing to where Papa is. Now, he has learned this, he will look to me and point questioning where Papa is. He has also noticed that when Mama and Papa play around the island in the kitchen, we have to duck down so he can't see us. So, of course, Bradyn has to duck now too! Failing to realize he is too short that he doesn't need to duck! Too cute!!

I loved your post today because our son is doing the same thing with "mouse" and "mouth." Thanks for reminding me that is shows phonemic awareness (I'm a teacher by trade, too).

The picture of Bradyn with the cute hat is Oopa's favorite. He is adorable. Sounds like you had a fun Valentine week-end with Oompa and Oomba Taresh. I wish we were closer so we could see you all more often. We miss you. Hey, what's this that Mary is indicating that our sweet little boy has a "temper"?
