It Speaks!

Lincoln has always been a pleasant baby, but he is making the transition to "pleasant kid" now, and one of the biggest factors is that he is learning a LOT of words. He will repeat (or try to repeat) anything I say now, which is both highly entertaining and also worrisome.

While we are really proud of him for speaking pretty clearly most of the time, absolutely no one thinks that would make for an interesting blog entry. You guys, like generations of "America's Funniest Home Videos" viewers before you, want to see/hear when things go wrong. Therefore, I present to you a list of words that Lincoln still has a bit of trouble with, replete with translation guide.

"Nini" = Lincoln ("Yaaaaaaaay Nini!!!" is a regular part of potty training)
"Epis" = Octopus
"Nanum" = Grandmother
"MommyDaddy" = Mediocre. (I gave it a shot, and thus probably deserved the result.)
"Tail" = Private Parts. (I can follow the logic here, mistaken as it may be.)
"Butt-ball" = Football

Okay, okay. I said I wasn't going to tell you the ones he gets right, but there are a few that he does really well, including: Touchdown!, Big Hug, I love you, and twinkle twinkle.

Potty training is going great, but (entertaining as they may be) I think I have crossed enough lines already today in the "what is acceptable" game.
