ap 'm

It's like "ap" then a gottal stop+"m"


Help me!



ah nuh?

Yep! Pretty sure that's what she's been saying! Either "another" or my husband thinks, "and that (too)?" which is kind of the same thing.

I'm bad at this apparently, these all have me stumped. Anxious to see what "chock-a-sine" is!

Here's one that's been bugging me and DH for weeks. DS, who barely says anything, will out of the blue point in a random direction and proclaim "DAH-DOH!". At first we thought it was 'backhoe' because he's obsessed with construction vehicles, but the context doesn't usually fit. Unless he's just remembering a backhoe at random and pointing in the direction of out-of-doors? He doesn't do that with anything else though. And backhoe isn't his #1...the true obsession lies with excavator.

ap'm = Happen (like what happened) or open?

Chock-a-sine = magazine? Jack Outside?

Ok, I'll tell you on Gabebo.. It meant "Available" !
I said it for weeks before my parents figured it out. they finally got it because we were in the car and there was a commercial on that said "Now Available!" and I yelled "GABEBO!!"

Chock-a-sine is... "chocolate side."

OK, back story. DS went through this phase at about nine months when, while nursing, he's just want to switch back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. We'd joke that he was tired of the plain milk and was trying to figure out which one dispensed chocolate.

THAT evolved into "You want chocolate side?" being my cue for switching sides. And now, he says "chocolate side" when one side runs out and he wants to switch.

How about "yangoo-wehcah!"

'That one' would make sense...if he was looking at anything when he said it! Or even pointing at anything. My friend today heard it and suggested 'gotta go'. I'll have to study him carefully each time he says it to see if I can get more context clues!

HEHE that is hysterical! I never would have guessed that.

'yangoo-wehcah' is ringing some kind of bell. Not 'vacuum cleaner'? That can't be it. Reminds me of some kind of tractor or something.

It's "Thank you, you're welcome!"

He understands that people use the phrases when giving/taking things, but hasn't quite split them into which-participant-says-which.

We figured ours out tonight. 'Gah-goh' is what he says when he points to a clock. He means 'cuckoo'! DH told me that they recently watched an episode of Max & Ruby where Max is obsessed with a cuckoo clock. Never mind that none of ours cuckoo...but whatever!

mycicle--either "popsicle", "tricycle", or "bicycle"


Wow....I thought "Oh-eee-ah" would be easier than apparently it is. It's his sister.........SOPHIA...Ooo--eeee-ah lol never realized how many names actually have the sounds in that order.


Here's another, it's his new word from today. "Bee bup" The clue is he was trying to sing a song and it goes with a routine from our day. (before I was a mom of preschoolers, I was a teacher of preschoolers, a lot of little songs have found their way into our routine lol)

Clean up?

We had a recent AHA moment, DS has been saying "Shaowng" (say it really fast) for months and we have had no idea what it meant. Finally figured it out this week.. any guesses?

nope! we thought it was maybe "song" but it isn't. Here is a hint: the word doesn't start with "s".. he is replacing a different sound with "sh" sound

shaowng---along??? I can't think lol

YUP the new word is "clean up" I love it so much I have started to sing "bee-bup" instead lol

Today's new word "obby" (Hint--it is missing a beginning 's' and the 'b' is another sound.) Context--to crying sibling
