Tonight at supper, we got talking about baby-talk. We circled around to early words the boys have created.
One of Eli's best was "dippit" which was his way of saying "ketchup." I remember the first time he used the word at the McDonalds in Ashland, VA.
Briggs' best new word was "wee-too." That was his version of "thank you." It was followed pretty quickly by "wel-tum" for "you're welcome."
Calvin hasn't got any really famous ones yet, but he is just on the cusp. Right now he's saying "buhmamma" for "banana." We're waiting for the really creative neologisms to start spewing forth.
You can still hear any of us using "dippt" and "wee-too" in conversations amongst ourselves. Luckily for us, the two older boys still find remembering, talking about and laughing over this sort of thing funny. Eli was slightly embarrassed, but managed to see the humor in it all.
