The Ian vocablulary quiz...

Ian is about 2 1/2 now and he seems to have started a growth spurt. The legs don't have that layer of baby fat on them anymore. His vocabulary, not to mention his body, is growing by leaps and bounds. It is a hoot to sit and listen to him just jabber on about the topic at hand. The guy is definitely opinionated. He gets that from Kelly you know.

Anywho, I thought we would play a vocabulary game with Ian's words. Here goes:

When you want to go swimming you go to what? That is correct, "a poo". (Not to be confused with the Quik-E Mart clerk.) It's always "a poo". Which of course means "the pool".

What is Mickey Mouses friends name who...that...is a dog? Right again, "Goopy". I love that one.

What pet do you walk on a leash? If you said "goggy", you are correct.

This one's a little harder. What is the name of the vehicle that has a big scoop in front that can move dirt from one place to another? "Tractra". You're good.

What is a "bee trah"? That of course is a big truck. We see many of those on the freeways. Many.

He also has a great way of making you think what he wants to do is your idea.

"Sully and My"

"Do you want to watch Monsters Inc.?"

"OK"

It's the way he says the last OK that does it. He puts the emphasis on the O. The O he hits and the K comes down not only in volume but tone as well. I just dread the day when he hits the K instead of the O.

"Please go clean your room"

"O-K."
