Brode has a good vocabulary if you ask this biased mother. He gets a lot of it from day care and we try and use similar words so he can learn their meaning easier. Brode has this weird way of learning the harder words first and catches on pretty quick when you say something directly to him or multiple times in a different context.
We joked when he started talking that mama, dada, and gramps/papa were competing to see who's name he would say first. Gramps practiced every day on the way to day care so we were all convinced he would be first. Nope, and guess what, to this day Brode has no name for Gramps. We try. We practice the G's and P's and he just refuses. Brode does well going through a list:
"Brode say hockey" - "Ockey"
"Brode say Libby" - "Lib"
"Brode say music" - "moo-gic"
"Brode say football" - "foo-ball"
"Brode say gramps" - silence (sometimes even a snicker)
He has an attitude that is for sure.
He picks things up easily and you know that whole "he hears you no matter where you are" thing. Brode is becoming a mini me. He is like one of my girl friends that I hang out with too much and we start saying the same expressions. What can I say, he is my best little bud:
Oh yeah and for all you girls in LaCrosse that miss waking up to "OPEN! OPEN! OPEN!" a little reminder at the end to fix your withdrawls.
