Jalen-isms, continued.

Somehow Jalen still surprises me with how much he says and understands. I know it's completely not the same for me to type some of his funny sayings - since the funny part is usually in how he says it - but I'll try anyway.

• how Bout??? - as in, how about we read this book?
• don't cry, sissy; (it's) ok sissy; what's wrong sissy; sissy cry.....etc
• Mama comin! or Blankie comin! or Sissy comin! or what/whoever that happens to be joining him
• Go Go that way! - in the shopping cart or stroller
• Jalen dooowit - gaining his independence
• byYOU - as in, I'm going to sit by you or you by me
• Daddy home, Yay! - self-explanatory
• Bye Jalen, work, later - bye Jalen, (where are you going?) work, (see you) later
• then Jalen home, Yay!
• eeeeedup! - (get up) Usually trying to lift Mace up and out of his way
• Meeska...Mouse...SAY IT!!! - (Mickey Mouse) Meeska Mouska Mickey Mouse, say it with me

As always, I'm sure there are lots more. And perhaps the best one is in this video. He and Daddy are reading a Veggie Tales book with Larry the Cucumber. Larry dresses up as "Prairie Larry", "Dairy Larry", "Merry Larry", "Hairy Larry", and so on. Jalen obviously needs some speech therapy on this one!
