Around 2/2 1/2 years, Hooper began figuring out animal sounds. We would do the typical, "The cow says..." and Hooper would enthusiastically reply, "Mooooo!" We have since added a snake, horse, lion, tiger, bear, whale, elephant, chicken...you get the idea.
My husband thought it would be cute to tell my son things that people say. For instance, "Mommy says...." and Hooper replys "No, no, no!" Soon the whole family had a saying and I wanted to make sure we never forgot them.
Daddy says- "Seriously?!" With his hand held out, palm up.
Nanny says- "Cookie?" As in "Want a cookie?" My mom makes wonderful cookies and is always willing to share, God bless her.
Brother says- "Whaaa, whaa!" Hooper does not enjoy Bo's crying.
Grandad says- "Ah, Babe!" As in, trying to talk my mom into something.
Grandpa says- "Vroom, vroom." Grandpa and Hooper share a love of cars.
Looking back, turning Hooper into a puppet for our amusement may not have been the right thing to do, but it sure was the funny thing to do.
