At least none of these words will cause people to give you funny looks in the store. I get so embarrassed when Trenton starts yelling for his "Cccky"

Cocky = Binky

Cute photos, really funny list

I love the first picture. It looks like he is planning something very sneaky! I love kids when they can finally express themselves. It's adorable.

I'm sure my kids spoke in isms, but I don't remember many of them.

Just Bonny's plaintive plea each a.m. for "breckrex" because she was "an hungring girl."

Good for you for putting them down for posterity.

Drake speaks his language. They could get "I got died" together. great pics of the super pirate!

My fave was the "I excused my bum." So polite! That and the fact that he outs you on your frequent Chipotle trips. I'm right with you on that one though, I love me some Chipotle!

(Absolutely love the second photo. The expression on his face, the stance, the outfit, the surroundings. So funny, so sweet!)

Again, those pictures are amazing. You are so lucky to have such great pictures of your kids. We also frequent Chipotle. Yummy!

Chipotle. That should be an after the game activity. Better than hot chocolate - but maybe a little earlier than our 10:30 games, eh?

Very cute pictures. Do you remember the Magleby's from CVI. Zack is my nephew. He used to call me and my Mom (Sister Billstrom) GrammaKatie. All one word. It was cute. Now that he is huge and 14, we remind him of it all the time...that and the time he tried on girl costumes.

so, so cute! Love the photos!! Josh says some of those too. He started calling himself Joshie the Ra-Ra. He also says Chipotle (their favorite restaurant) but he says it Chipot-yay.
