Mush patch

Mush patch

October 2, 2010

It’s been a while since I provided you with some of Breanna’s newest “Toddler Words of the Day” as my wife calls them. For example, she used to call helicopters “helipopters,” Lucky Charms ceral “Chucky Larms” and Fruit Loops ceral “Bloop Bloops” which I wrote about in an earlier post. (OK, time to be honest. Breezy still calls them Bloop Bloops but it’s not because her vocabulary isn’t advancing. It’s because mommy and daddy love her version so much that we still call them Bloop Bloops ourselves. I mean seriously, doesn’t it just roll off the tongue better? As in, ‘Hey Bre, do you want some BLOOP BLOOPS for breakfast???’)

Anyways, she pulled a new one out of her bag of tricks the other day…

She was sitting on my lap as we watched her cartoons. She looked up at me and smiled; and I thought she was smiling about something on TV. It was the weekend, so I hadn’t shaved (that’s one of my rules: no shaving on the weekends unless absolutely necessary, since I have to be clean-cut and dressed in a suit and tie most days from Monday through Friday). She reached up and felt the stubble between my upper lip and my nose with the tip of her finger, then said…

Daddy!

What, sweetie?

Daddy! I like your new mush patch, Daddy!

That was just too cute for me not to share with you. What’s really funny to me is that this toddler word kind of makes sense, since a moustache really is a ‘patch’ of hair — more or less — on your face! Hahaha!

So, what Toddler Word of the Day has your little one come up with lately (and what does it mean)? I welcome your comments, as always!

Thanks again for checking out my parenting blog.
