The Amazing Xander and His Ever Expanding Vocabulary.

His first word was Doggy. Then Mama, which seems to be synonymous with joy, sadness, hunger, contentment and anger. This and That, Daddy, Gee (granny), Pop (poppy), Sis (rachel), Uncle Barry (i didn't actually hear that myself), More, Want Some,I'm going, I did, and a sleu of jibber jabber that I can dechipher, but nothing that can be put into writing.

Lately he has been really interested in body parts. Now..while he has always enjoyed pointing out his mouth, eyes, ears, elbows etc...I think it was just a game to him. Recently he has been pointing to new body parts on myself and Tony and then pointing to his own. These new body parts include but are not limited to places I have told him are private. I give him the clinical names and tell him they are mommy's/daddy's private area. I thought that was the end of that.

Last nite we were in bed trying to sleep. Xander wasn't excited about that idea so he was playing with his baby Tad and telling me all kinds of stories. Then he looked at me and said "boobooboobies"
"What?" I asked.
"mama boobies"
I'm sorry but I couldn't help but crack up laughing. This of course was bad, very bad. Then he poked at them and said "mama boobies! ha ha ha". Then he looks at Tony and says "mama boobies!"

Now I'm afraid to tell you that this is more than likely going to be his new word. How do I know this you ask? Because it was the first thing he said this morning before he even go out of the bed, and he said "mama boobies!" several times on the way to daycare and even made sure that the ladies at daycare where aware that I have not just any old boobies, but "mama boobies". I'm sure they didn't know that.

Before I get any "Oh Erica" emails let me say that I am making an attempt to turn this around, but he just doesn't think Tony's boobies are as interesting.
