Mom, reads with boy baby: What’s this?

Boy: Mah-key!

Mom: And what’s this?

Boy: Cay-yow!

Mom: And this?

Boy silently shrugs, looks down shyly.

Me: What is this, baby?

Boy shrugs, smiles and looks up playfully.

Me: Is it a hippopotamus?

Boy nods.

Mom: Can you say it? Hip-o-pot-a-mus?

Boy smiles: Mom-us?

Mom giggles: Say it again! Hip-o-pot-a-mus.

Boy: Hi-mom-us!

Mom: What is it?

Boy, fully engaged now: Hip-om-mus! Hip-mom-a-pus! Hi-mop-a-pus! Mom-a-pus! Mop-a-mum-mus! Ma-mom-a-pus! Ah-mom-a-mus! Hip-om-mom-a-pus! Hip-oh-mom-a-pus!

Mom: That’s it baby!

Boy runs full-tilt around room screaming: Hip-oh-mom-a-pus! Hip-oh-mom-a-pus! Hip-oh-mom-a-pus! Hip-oh-mom-a-pus! Hip-oh-mom-a-pus!

Mom dies from the cute.

Oh how cute. I miss my boys being little and cute. Now all they do is see if they can hurt each other and yell at me for not punishing the one they think started it.

Oh mine do that too. :) –aag

Awwww! Kids are awesome. I’m sure it’s moments like that which make it all worth while.

Love you babe.

Hip-oh-mom-a-pus? Isn’t that the procedure women get when they need things tightened after a few child births?

Isn’t the correct term hip-oh-mom-a-pus-ect-tomy or maybe it’s hip-oh-mom-a-pus-plas-tomy?

I’m not sure. I’ve had no medical training or actually training of any other kind - at least that I want to speak of.

Can I recommend “The Hippopotamus Song” by Flanders and Swann? It has the rousing chorus,

‘Mud, mud, glorious mud,
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood.
So, follow me, follow,
Down to the hollow,
Ad there let us wallow
In glorious mud’.
Mind you, the bit about mud mightn’t be such a good idea if your kids like mess :o)

That is SO cute! :]

I am at a Parent & Child Drop-In center a few days a week, and this reminded me of one of the kids there that pronounces caterpillar as ‘cap-a-till-er’. He does it with such enthusiasm that it makes me giggle every time.
