Betsy's Latest Words

After Betsy eats her lunch and later on in the afternoon Betsy has started whispering "king cake"--she tends to whisper words for different foods. She and I have eaten half of a kingcake in 2 days. Earlier today Betsy woke up from her nap and said "mongo, mongo." She's been saying mongo a lot lately and I thought she was referring to the giant gingerbread cookie named Mongo in Shrek 2. I decided to let her watch a few minutes of Shrek 2 while I fixed lunch. She started crying and kept saying "mongo, mongo." I put her in her highchair and told her I'd give her some milk. As soon as I pulled the carton out of the refrigerator she smiled and said, "Mongo! Mongo!" and when I gave it to her she said, "MONGO!!!!" So I guess that she's calling milk mongo. I was trying to figure out why when I remembered that at the end of Shrek 2 a huge bucket of milk is poured on the Mongo character and Shrek shouts, "Mongo!" That's the only explanation that makes sense to me.

We went to the Parenting Center this afternoon for playgroup. We found out that Aidan is going to be in Betsy's class at St. Charles Presbyterian this fall--I'm so excited! Betsy showed a little jealousy when I picked up Georgia and later William--both times she ran across the room towards me shouting "Mama! Mama!" and lifting up her arms for me to hold her. Look out, Sadie...
