charlie-ism

Charlie: Mom, I want a baba. (Charlie asks for a baba whenever he wants a drink even though he hasn't drank from an actual bottle in over a year.)

Me: Okay, what do you want to drink?

Charlie: I want a cow baba.

Me: A cow baba? What's a cow baba? (We don't have any cups with cows on them.)

Charlie: A cow baba, like BrawWow. (Charlie's name for baby Brauer.)

Me: You want a bottle?

Charlie: Yes

Once I connected the dots I had to laugh and admire Charlie's cleverness. A cow baba...An udder...A nipple...A bottle. Makes total sense. And yes, I did indulge him.

That is clever and absolutely adorable. It's so nice to be back and feeling well enough to read blogs. I've missed staying caught up!

Just a question.......was it you OR LaLa who did the indulging?? I knew you two were close but that is extra cool if she shared her "cow babas" with her nephew.
