Some more recent thoughts on Words

So, there are some words that my son has struggled with.
A couple years ago he realized that his DS had a WiFi connector....so when we were at a restaurant that had WiFi, he said....." Look mom, they have "WE FEE" here, just like my game at home...." needless to say it took me a little bit to put the WiFi and WEE FEE together...we still laugh about it when we see WiFi signs.

He also really liked to call Dana's hotel "La Quinta" ....LA QUAWTA...really low in a whisper.  Don't know why put it kinda stuck.....La Quawta.....

Something that those of you who know us will have to call to get more details on....he really struggled with knowing the difference between meditating and another word that he had picked up somewhere that is not appropriate for print.  Just wanted to share as laughed my butt off....more details available upon request :)

First memories

Joey has been a good kid from the start.  He loved Seasame Street, Teletubbies, and the Wiggles.  He would get up early in the morning, we would give him a bottle and pop in a VHS tape and he would lay in the play pen and be mesmerized.  I am pretty sure his first word was "Binks"...but very shortly after that we noticed him in his playpen saying "quack quack quack quack quack cockadoodle do...." Yeah, I couldn't make that up. This was one of the Wiggles songs!  Always been a little too smart for his own good.

Another early memory of Joey involves an early morning meeting at Jensen Jewelers right after we remodel and were in our brand new store.  We would have montly meetings and on occasion Joey would come in with me.  Well during one such meeting when he was probably18 to 24 months, we were sitting down conducting our meeting like normal and 2 cops showed up with thier guns pulled and wanted to talk with Matt.  Well come to find out, Joey had triggered the silent alarm that was about eye level for him at that point....go figure.

What else...oh yes there was this one time when he was about 2 and we went to take Binks out to run in the baseball fields.  We let Binks off his lease and he and Joey were running in the field...two seconds later....Binks cocked his leg and "marked" Joey!
