Pockorn
I know what you are thinking, Finn is just trying to say popcorn. Every kid loves popcorn, right? My son loves something much more than popcorn though, just like his daddy. For some reason the word never comes out right. We've been working on it for months now and trust me he eats a lot of these so the opportunity arises often.
Pockorn
noun
1. frankfurter. Otherwise known as a hot dog.

Word of the Day - Grandpa
This one seems obvious. Right?
Grandpa
–noun
1. the father of one's father or mother
But to Finn, it also means this.
Grandpa
–noun
1. the mother of one's father or mother.
Finn likes keeping it simple. One word covers two of his most loved people. This way he only has to say, "buv boe, grandpa" and he kills two hearts with one stone.

1. the fruit, black or very dark purple when ripe, of certain species of the genus Rubus. Otherwise known as blackberries.

Word of the Day - Yuggy
Yuggy
noun
1. A prepared food having the consistency of custard, made from milk curdled by the action of cultures, sometimes sweetened or flavored. Also known as yogurt.
Finn is not a morning person. Most mornings he is lying in bed, half awake, in a daze when we get him up. Then he wants to be held, doesn't want to change his clothes and of course needs his binky.
Yesterday morning I opened the fridge to get his medicine (he has an ear infection) and he saw yogurt. He lost it, all he wanted was yuggy cow, YUGGY COW!!!! Most mornings I don't give us enough time to feed him breakfast since he gets it at school. We usually give him his milk and he is OK.
Not this morning.
So Ben has to hold him down to get his medicine in him and then I poured his yuggy into a sippy cup and mixed with milk to see if that would help. Explaining to him that he could drink it in the car. But then he was screaming louder saying "COW, NO COW!!!"
I guess packaging already matters to my 2 year old.

Word of the Day - Noe / Noeing
Noe
–noun
1. A precipitation in the form of ice crystals, mainly of intricately branched, hexagonal form and often agglomerated into snowflakes, formed directly from the freezing of the water vapor in the air. Otherwise known as snow.
This morning when we went to get into the car, Finn yelled excitingly "NOE!!!"
I'm very sad that Finn still uses this word on April 16th.
All the flowers were bent over dead this morning a few inches of snow covering them.
I'm over it. And hopefully he'll never have to say noe again, at least for several months.

Word of the Day - Lellow
Lellow
–adjective
1. A color like that of egg yolk, ripe lemons, etc.; the primary color between green and orange in the visible spectrum, an effect of light with a wavelength between 570 and 590 nm. Otherwise known as yellow.
I think Finn learned this at school yesterday. Last night he pointed out that the mango was yellow (kind of). I was very proud. Apparently today he has been pointing everything yellow out to my mom. The yellow bus, the yellow truck (guck), the yellow flower.
It might just be his favorite color, I think mostly because it's the only one he knows.

We have no idea what this means. But Finn says it probably 50 times a day. Hopefully whatever he is trying to tell us isn't very important.
