Catch Phrase

With a vocabulary that is growing exponentially, Aden seems to find new phrases every day. We have some favorites we wanted to share here, a little too long for the 'aden dictionary' . . .

pint-apple - pineapple (he must think we slur the "t")

"Don't say it" - we have no idea where this one came from, but maybe it's when he thinks we're talking about something he's said or done

"Say . . ." - apparently we've asked Aden to repeat a lot of things, or try to say a lot of things. Now he asks us to repeat after him; "say" has also become the new "please", so when he wants something he'll sometimes ask, "Mommy, say Aden pintapple."

uh-no-oise - when we were traveling we heard lots of new noises, and Aden managed to stretch "noise" into a three-syllable word, continually asking us to identify the new sounds he was hearing.

No! Mine! - he is two, and Wiley is into much more these days . . .

Yee-ah - Like "noise", Aden has drawn out "yeah". Even though he is two and enjoys saying no, he also seems to like responding affirmatively (usually when he's sure it's something he'll like, thinks it's good to agree, or if he doesn't understand the question)

Sorry - our sensitive little boy says this when anyone gets hurt, whether or not it was his doing

All done - this is used quite a bit, usually preceded by someone's name (Mommy, Aden, Wiwey), and followed by whatever activity Aden thinks they ought to be finished with (most often sleeping or eating)

poopy diaper - any diaper, clean or dirty

"Mommy coming! Wah dutch*, Wiwey!" - This is Daddy's favorite of the week, and though we've only heard it once, we're almost certain we'll hear it again . . .
