Melmo

One of the most endearing things about my kids are the adorable words they say, or try to say for that matter. Lately Katie's vocabulary has been expanding like crazy and the little words she says are so stinkin' cute. Melmo (Elmo) is her favorite. She exclaims "Melmo!" every time she sees him on t.v., in a book or as a toy. She also says "Bapoo" when she needs a diaper change, lol.

Ally had her fair share of cute words when she was younger. She loves to hear stories of the funny things she used to say- like Dink. She used to ask for her pacifier or binkie by saying "Dink!" I remember the day when she said bink instead. Disappointment lingered in the air as I knew that cute stage would come to an end as she aged.

But at 5, she still says the cutest things. Her current craze is bugs. She wants to study and learn about them all the time. She loves butterflies but not the waps (wasps). The cicadas came out yesterday and she was fascinated. We walked up to a lilac bush and she found about 50 of them on there. Ally exclaimed "Mom, look! A spa-cada tree!!!" All day she talked of spacadas :) I guess that cute stage doesn't really end after all. :)
