New Words

"Lingatralaga woonisimba..." - No, this is not advanced baby talk by Reagan. This is Truman speaking "LST" (Lincoln, Sarah, Truman) language to Reagan all day long. He swears she understands and speaks the language as well.





Pim - Means "a bit" - This word was invented by Truman and he uses it a lot. If Lincoln hits him he will say, "That did not even hurt a pim!" I did not cut his sandwich clean through and he complained saying, "Hey Mom! You didn't even cut this a pim!" The downside to this word is most people think he is saying pimp.











Peanutbutteran - This is how Jefferson thinks you say "peanut butter". He does not usually like jelly so he will ask for a "peanutbutteran samwich" as opposed to a peanutbutteran/jelly sandwich.





Jefferson also woke up the other day and said he had a really long "snap" - even longer than bedtime! I think it was just his sleepy brain talking because I have not heard it repeated.










McKinley has new phrases -





"My singer" (my finger) means, I will just keep Reagan's binky on my finger and not in my mouth.




"Don't shutda door" - This is her new bedtime thing and she goes to bed without a fess if we leave the door cracked and the hallway light on. I think it is partially the light and mostly the fact that she can feel more a part of the chaos of getting the boys to bed across the hall.





"Emily went bye-bye" - This is a song she walks around singing once or twice a day. She sometimes sings it about Gamma and sometimes about Sawah or Libbi and other relatives who have come through this summer. Emily is our most recent loss and she "feels it keenly". I am sad to not hear her call, "Emily! See someping in my woom!" She says Emily's name sooooo cute.
