Month: July 2009

  • Danny and I took apart our toilet completely and made repairs ourselves.  I feel so accomplished... even more so than having given birth.  On a side note, ain't the internet grand?  It empowers you to do things like home repairs that you would otherwise feel incapable of tackling.

  • Vincent Speaks

    Vincent didn't want to eat his soup and rice and was grabbing handfuls of plain brown rice off my plate and jamming them in his face.  He came across a piece of sangchoo (lettuce) and to our surprise took a little bite.  He promptly put it back down and declared it to be "jiji" (korean for trash).  He's most certainly a meateater. 

    He talks a lot and says the darndest things.  The other day he was talking to his trains and starting his phrases with "hey guys" and saying stuff like "oh no" and "oh gosh."  His pronunciation is rough at this point and we have no idea how he comes up with the stuff that he does.  Here are samples of his words:

    choochoowayne = choochoo train

    tenis = Thomas

    mina = Mater, from Disney's Cars

    wah koo = Poptart

    coptoo = helicopter

    pinano = piano

    geeba = zebra

    cahgu = car

    dahgu = dog

    pigu = pig

    buhdee = bird

    wahdee = water

    sehsehtah = Samantha (his best friend)

    ahpawsaw = octopus

    eminent = elephant

    stawbeddy = strawberry

    daipuh = diaper

    cuhluhling = coloring (or crayons)

    ahl-gung = all done

     

    He says a whole bunch of other stuff that is prounounced well but these are his own concoctions.  He's growing up too fast!
