Obie's Word of the Day

Obie's word of the day: Spice, 'Weet, Sauce. (He knows hot sauce and identifies it by "spice", but was a little thrown off by the red strawberry syrup we put on his pancakes. It took a while to convince him it's a sweet. He also calls catsup 'sauce'. )

When Beatrice was little she'd sometimes leave her juice cup sitting around for too long and then take a swig of bubbly juice. She called this "picey" and I think it's funny that she left of the 's' at the beginning while Obie leaves off the 'y' at the end.

Obie's begun stringing words together in sentences lately. Of note, "C'mon, kitty." He also says Beatrice, Maggie, and Mommy instead of their shortened versions. He adds lots of y's to the end of words. My favorite is "gummy" when he wants a piece of candy.
