Today Eric and I were sitting on the floor, talking. At some point he scooted over and put his head on my shoulder and I put my arm around his shoulders. Tess came into the room at this point and got mad, "No! No nuggling!"
Nuggling is the way Tess says snuggling. Noman is her version of snowman. She struggles with blended consonants. :)
Can you guess the meaning of "tam" or "ham"? (Same meaning, but the pronunciation varies.)
Or "trust"?
Tam is clam. She likes to act out a scene from a Backyardigans episode where a big clam is going to attack Uniqua. So she says, "The tam! The tam," while opening her eyes wide for emphasis and using her hands to imitate the top and bottom shells opening and closing. This is a game we all have to play several times a day. It can be a useful way to get her to run down the street.
Trust is crust. As in "Dada, you eat the trust!"

While I definitely appreciate toddler pronunciation, the most interesting thing about this story to me is that she got mad at you guys for snuggling. Was she teasing you? Was she jealous? Why was she mad?
She's very jealous for my attention right now. She wanted Eric to scoot over and for me to hold her alone.
So funny. Tess, tess. :)
