Family words

I was reading a post on a favourite blog of mine, and she talked about how each family develops their own words that they use. So we have a few, here they are.

Forking: verb as in “R don’t fork the table”. Or “R fork your noodles”

Doinking: verb as in “R don’t doink your brother”, or “R no more doinking”

I also just came up with a new one the other day. I was noticing that lots of people use blogging as therapy. So my new word is “Blerapy”. Blog + Therapy = blerapy. So this blog is a lot of blerapy for me!

I forgot that when my niece was first here, my SIL and I came up with a new baby word. Mostly describing the stuff in babies’ necks. Swinty – sweaty + linty. I also came up with a new one. J is a formula baby, so he gets somewhat different stuffy in his neck. He sometimes has Swilky in his neck – Sweaty + milk. I have also been advised by friends that if you baby smells funky, check his neck. Sound advice.

Banner day

Not that you can tell from this picture, but J smiled at me for the first time today! Daddy was a witness. Although, I think he already smiled at daddy yesterday. Oh well. There were several other “firsts” today as well. R went on a school field trip to a local apple cider mill, and took a school bus for the first time. I asked her how it went and she said she felt a bit queezy. Great. I mentioned that next time she shouldn’t sit at the back, but try the front. She promptly told me she didn’t sit at the front because she sat where her teacher told her to! She also brought home her first school yard poem about a stinky skunk etc. Great. She tells me her friend in the other kindergarten class taught it to her.

Look at ME

Today was a tougher day. R was having some ‘over-loving’ moments with baby J. Read too much love, waaay to much love. I snaped a nice picture of the two of them, then one of just J, then I got this one…look at ME!! LOL!
