Leah's Lingo


Our weather has been hot, hot, hot over here. It is actually too hot to not have air conditioning. We just lay around in the afternoons as we don't feel like doing anything. The other day, I got out the sprinkler for the kids to play in. They were so excited they wore their swimming suits all day.

I thought I would share a little bit of how English Leah is.

1. While playing in the sprinkler, she yells, "I don't like this swimming costume!" We asked her why laughing under our breath. She said, "It's too cold!" BTW, swimming costumes are what they call bathing suits in England. I have never used that term and wonder where Leah picked it up. I think she probably got it from a TV show or something.

2. While she was in the bathroom the other day, "Mom, I'm nearly done."

Leah's Lingo


A few days ago we were talking about the election and the new president. Leah has obviously been paying attention to us because she likes to talk about "Rock a Bom Bom" (Barack Obama).

At dinner tonight we had scrambled eggs. There were not too many left so I asked if Leah would like the rest. As I scooped what was left , she looked into the pan and said "Dad, there a big snudge of eggs." She was referring to the last little piece of egg that I had neglected to give her.
