Tell Me What I Say

I know I will forget all of this if I don't write it down. I have been warned by friends and parents to "Write ALL of the cute stuff down before it is lost!"

Well, unfortunately, cute stuff happens so much (and NOT so cute stuff) that I DO forget about it. I blame my forty-year old brain, my job and my mom, who had dementia.

Nevertheless, I feel compelled to write about what Joy can and cannot say.

Here is a list that Paul helped me compile:

beets/beps=beach
ni-ni=milk (ni-ni is milk in Mandarin)
mao-mao=kitty
mah!=more
mama=mama
baba=daddy
Jaa=Jarrah
Luu...k=Luke
beetee=blankie
bo/mo/no=NO
bo-bo=poo poo
chues=shoes
uhbye=bye
shrash and drash=trash
aba=Boobah
dubadubaduba=Dumbo
gawpkch=cup
ding=doorbell
bee-oon=balloon
beeeeee!= any bug
up=stairs
up=help
wooshie gushie=what I did today
glock=clock

And more that we can't remember!
