Lucas-isms

I'm not sure if anyone actually reads this blog anymore, but I have such a huge collection of these gems, I needed to post them somewhere, even if it's just for my own memory's sake. This boy is full of some great sayings:




Nunny - It's what he calls a bunny.  So cute.

What doing? - When he wants to know what you're up to.

Meh-meh tree - Christmas tree.  

No fair! - His response anytime he thinks he's getting the short end of the stick.  When did two year olds learn of this concept?  I blame the older siblings.

Yeah peese! - Yes please!

Yuv Yoo! - Love you... he says this to me every morning when I get him out of his crib.

Dirt bag! - When the kids get Halloween/Easter/Christmas candy, we put it in Ziploc bags with their names on it.  The older two started referring to these as "dessert bags".  Lucas can't say that, so he asks for his "dirt bag".

Nino/Nina - His names for Mattias and Elise.  It's a shortened version of brother/sister in Portuguese.

nem-minem-minems - M&Ms

Nuggle - His word for snuggle.  He asks me for "nuggles" every night.

Yeth - Yes

Hold you - I know lots of kids say this, but it's so adorable I never want him to stop saying it.

Guppies - What he calls fruit gummies

Dat mines - This is what he screams if you take something that belongs to him

Right hew - His response if you ask him where he is.

The other day Mattias was asking me if I could wipe his bum after, well... you know.  Taking a cue from Chick-fil-a, I responded, "it would be my pleasure."  To which Lucas replied, "No!  Dat mines!  Dat mines pleasure!"  I guess when you're two, everything really does belong to you.

And last, the one that inspired me to post this, just happened today.  Lucas was in the kitchen and started yelling, “My nuts! My nuts! I can’t reach my nuts!” I came in to find him reaching for a magnet that has a picture of peanuts on it. So funny and inappropriate all at the same time.

Happy 148th Birthday Canada!

It all started with a simple picture of my 10 month old daughter holding a Canadian flag.  Now 7 years later, all 3 of my kids proudly wave the maple leaf on Canada Day. 

C-A-N-A-D-A,

Tell me what’s a Douglas Fir

C-A-N-A-D-A,

Betcha never heard a bobcat purr

C-A-N-A-D-A,

Have you ever seen a lobster crawl?

In Canada, we get to see them all.

We get to see the maple trees, maple sugar and the maple leaves,

We got the biggest wheat fields growing tall

In C-A-N-A-D-A, where we see the reversing falls

In Canada, we get to see them all.

C-A-N-A-D-A,

Tell me, what’s a tidal bore,

 C-A-N-A-D-A,A

Have you ever heard the ocean roar?

C-A-N-A-D-A,

Just listen to that wild goose call.

In Canada, we get to see them all

We get to see the maple trees, maple sugar and the maple leaves,

We got the biggest timber woods so tall 

In C-A-N-A-D-A, where adventure ever calls,

In Canada, we get to see them all.

C-A-N-A-D-A,

Have you ever heard a maple creak?

C-A-N-A-D-A,

Betcha never seen a mountain peak.

C-A-N-A-D-A,

In the land of the big snowball.

In Canada, we get to see them all.

We get to see the maple trees, maple sugar and the maple leaves,

We got the biggest wheat fields growing tall

In C-A-N-A-D-A, where we see the reversing falls,

In Canada, we get to see them all.

C-A-N-A-D-A,

Have you ever seen a magnetic hill?

C-A-N-A-D-A,

Or a lady on a dollar bill?

C-A-N-A-D-A,

Betcha never seen the autumn fall.

,

We get to see the maple trees, maple sugar and the maple leaves,

We got the biggest timber woods so tall 

In C-A-N-A-D-A, where adventure ever calls,

In Canada, we get to see them all.
