On July 4th the three of us were heading down to The Husband’s parents’ house for a 4th of July shin-dig. We were ready for copious amounts of food, swimming, and fun. As I watched the trees fly past the window, I heard the tell-tale sound of a pacifier clinking down the side of a car-seat as Lydia threw it out.<\/p>\n
“Uh-oh,” I thought. I waited for the fussing to begin.<\/p>\n
“Uh-oh,” said Lydia.<\/p>\n
I looked at The Husband, and he looked at me. “Did she just say, ‘Uh-oh?'” I asked.<\/p>\n
“I think so. Maybe,” he replied.<\/p>\n
“Lydia, did you say, ‘Uh-oh?'” I asked her.<\/p>\n
“Uh-oh,” she said. She continued her ‘Uh-oh’s’ for the rest of the trip. Of course, she didn’t do it when we prompted her upon arrival to The Husband’s Parents’, and I wasn’t even sure of ‘Uh-oh’ counted as a word. It’s more like an extremely mild curse. I wouldn’t play it on a Scrabble board, you know? <\/p>\n
I must confess out of all the words we say repeatedly around her, I’m surprised she picked up ‘Uh-oh’ first. That’s a VERY GOOD THING.<\/p>\n
Throughout this past week she has continued with her Uh-ohing. She definitely connects it with dropping stuff. She will drop — or deliberately throw — her toys\/food\/things that aren’t hers to the floor and say, “Uh-oh!” On the way home from daycare she works on perfecting it: “Ah-oh . . . Uh-uh . . . Uh-ohhhh . . . UH-OHHH . . .”<\/p>\n
Everyone says it’s definitely a word, so even though Hasbro wouldn’t accept it, I will officially declare ‘Uh-oh’ Lydia’s First Word ™.<\/p>\n
Spoken modestly, God help us (name that movie!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
