Chocolate, Cucumbers, and Cock-a-doodle-doo

These are the 3 newest words in BJ's vocabulary.

• Chocolate, or "choc" as BJ says, refers to chocolate milk. He will stand with his hand on the refridgerator handle and repeatedly say "choc". Hmm...I wonder if he's thirsty?! Once I open the door he knows immediately where the chocolate syrup is and, honestly, gets a little mad when I don't reach for it. If it where up to him he would drink chocolate milk 24/7.


• Cucumber, or "cuk" as BJ says, refers to Larry the Cucumber. Boy, does BJ love Veggie Tales! He's been able to say "Bob", as in Bob the Tomato, but it took a little longer to master Larry's name. Every night we watch 5 minutes of "bob and cuk" or "bomp bomp bomp bomp" (which is how BJ sings the theme song).


• Cock-a-doodle-doo, or "ca-ca-ca", is the sound a rooster makes!! One of BJ's favorite books is "Higgledy-Piggledy Chicks". The book starts off with a farm scene at night. When you turn the page the sun is rising and the rooster crows "Cock-a-doodle-doo!" BJ will switch back and forth from those two page and laugh hysterically as the rooster (aka mommy) crows. He now can do it himself. Too funny!
