Switched Syllables

Luke has recently developed this interesting habit of reversing the syllables in his words.  For example, the other day, he asked if I could tell him the story of “Ruth and Azbo.”  Also, after Matt introduced him to Chopin, Luke remembered it as “Poncho” (which is also the name of the rocking horse at Nannie’s house)!

Comment Clueless

Dear Friends and Family,

 

If you have left a comment on this Blog in the last year or so, please know that I wasn’t ignoring you – I just had absolutely no idea it was there!  I used to have things set up such that comments were e-mailed to me when they posted, but for some reason, that doesn’t happen any more, because I just noticed that there are many comments on the Blog that I had never seen before!  I don’t visit the Blog often as I post via e-mail (like I’m doing now) but since I posted the video today, I wanted to visit and make sure it was working correctly.  Anyway, thank you one and all for your comments.  Keep ‘um coming!

P.S. Mary, we use the A Beka Bible Flash-a-Cards for Bible Time.  They are meant for school-aged kids, but as they are just pictures, I adapt the wording of the story as necessary.  We’ve loved them.

Another Emma Word

I was reading over my earlier post and can’t believe that I forgot one of my favorite Emma words: “cuddies,” which means “covers” as in “cuddies pees [please]” or “I nee do cuddies” (“I need two covers”).

 

And, in other unrelated “small” talk, I had the following conversation with Luke today:

 

Luke (running into the kitchen): Do you want me to fire you?

Mama (surprised that he is familiar with this expression and wondering where this is going): Fire me?

Luke: Yes, I’m going to fire you with this! (as he presses the ”flame” of an electric tea light into my leg)

 

At dinner, Matt was trying to get the kids to say, “Tostitos.”  It came out “TOSE-de-DOSE.”  And apparently, Luke thinks that the actual real name for flour tortillas is “a big ‘ol thing” as he asked quite seriously “Please may I have a big ‘ol thing all wrapped up.”  He meant this literally.  He didn’t want anything in his tortilla, but he did want it wrapped up.

 

Exclusive Interview with Foof

OK, so nothing really happens in this video. It's just Foof being Foof! But I couldn't resist posting it. She's just so delightful.
