Elijah and Kristin are home alone again today, snow-bound by the blizzard that’s hit Minnesota. Elijah is entertaining himself with the car Grandma gave him. His Mom looks on as Elijah’s speaking his first word — well, not exactly a word. Or is it?
Elijah’s daycare provider only speaks Spanish. “Uh-oh!” is the universal language at daycare. It’s also becoming the first word of those trying to keep up with Elijah at home or at Grandma and Grandpa’s. It’ll be a long day for Kristin. Say a prayer there won’t be too many reasons to say “Uh-oh!”

The uh-oh is great and so is the walking!! WOW! But ANOTHER blizzard–that is ridiculous. Every time you have a blizzard, we have cooler weather and rain in Atlanta. 😦
Keep enjoying Elijah!
Jennifer is on vacation this week, and Tom and I are the dog-carers. And it’s been raining. Tom keeps reminding me that the dog is easier than kids!

Definitely easier than kids and just as fun in their own way. Sorry we sent the rain to you down there. Enjoy each other. Enjoy the dog. Enjoy a little rain.

There are degrees of uh-oh. Elijah’s is certainly the cutest.

Yes, Carolyn, definitely degrees. Aspiring authors have at least three a day with increasing intensity. Elijah makes it all bearable.

If Elijah hasn’t been baptized yet, I’d love to hear him say Uh Oh when the water touches his head. Don

His daycare provider only speaks Spanish. Could be “Hola!”

Close your ears, but this is true. My son’s first word was “shit.” He walked into the coffee table and stubbed is little toe. My MOTHER was there and it was less than 15 minutes until EVERY SINGLE FAMILY MEMBER knew the story. You don’t need Facebook. Just a mother, 6 brothers and sisters and telephones.

Uh-Oh! Big trouble for Mommy with her Mommy. A “working vocabulary” is so important to success in life!
