Tyler has added yet another B word to his vocabulary. Balloon. Since there were so many at his birthday party, he heard the word a lot. He says it in two syllables, but it's more like "balla" which is only slightly different from "ball" but really, isn't a balloon only slightly different from a ball? Everything else that he doesn't yet have a word for is called "nana," not to be confused with banana which he calls "nanana." Nana usually means he wants his drink or the dog's leash (yes, he's still very infatuated with the leash). He points correctly to his ear, hair, nose and eyes three out of every five times we ask him to. This must be something daycare works with him on, because I have been a total slacker in this department. Thank goodness for his patient and adoring teachers. Between all the things they have taught him, all the food they feed him (thirds for lunch!), and all the diapers they change for him, it's worth the $220 every week. He's so regular that I only have to change one poopy diaper each day. That alone is worth $220!
