Let’s do a round-up of new words for the week.  Well, maybe the last few weeks.  I’m a bit behind on my blogging.

* Stop!: In an effort to reduce how much we’ve been saying “no” I began introducing a new word, looking for a similar response.  Stop.  Now Jakey says both no and stop… all the time.  His dad has started using “Freeze.”  Fortunately, he leaves the “Sucka” unsaid.

* Shower: Pretty soon I won’t have a son anymore, I’ll have a raisin.  Our little pisces baby is water crazed.  He plays at the water table every day at school.  His dad takes him skinny dipping in the backyard blow-up pool before dinner (to be perfectly clear, Jakey, not his dad).  Every night he gets a bath.  Well now, he also wants to take a shower every time, anyone is taking a shower.  I’ve started bathing covertly.  The other morning he was asleep while I slipped into the shower.  I’m told he instantly sat bolt upright and said Shower! as soon as the water turned on.

* Diaper:  Not surprising.

* Mine!: One of those words he must have picked-up at school.  Between No, Stop, and Mine, he’s a force to be reckoned with.
