Time For Sentencing
                     (commencing April 2003)

Yit dow Mayna!                                               Sit down Maya!  (Said with much authority to Maya when she stood up in her chair
                                                                                                           at McDonald's. Also said to Julian.)

Eh EES my geen ball!                                       It is my green ball.  (Mark brags that our son has a better handle on the verb "is"
                                                                                                                        than a certain former president)

Baby do                                                              I want to do it.  (Ah, yes, we have entered Me Do space.  Watch out!)

Yeah Angee!                                                      Stay Angel!  (What can we say-- he likes commands.)

No outta beech                                                    No climbing out of  the crib.  (Yes, he has climbed out, but so far only once.)

Hep Elmo beedah peease                                     Help me with the Elmo Band Aid please  (He loves to put band aids on everything
                                                                                                  from Mama's shirt to his basketball.)

Go gee it                                                              Go get it.  (As in, Mama go get the ball that I cannot reach)

Dada coming home                                             Daddy's coming home

Not now                                                               Not now.  (Wonder why he knows this phrase)

Biwd go up, biwd een tee                                   Bird goes up, bird is in the tree

Oh no!  Bowken ga!                                            Oh no!  A broken flag.  (When a flag is not flying in the breeze, to Gareth it is broken)

Ah dun                                                                 All done. (His attempts to be exiled from time out)

E-I-orangie-oh                                                     B-I-N-G-O  (Just when you thought you would safely never hear this song again.)

A dah cheese (with point)                                   Gareth spelling a word--usually the letters he sees on Mom's sweatshirt

Dah Elmo nutch                                                    That's Elmo's World!  (Sung usually)

Beah ha on                                                            Bear's hat is on

Abby Biwday tu uuu                                             Happy Birthday to you  (He almost has the whole song down--timely, hey?)

Dada no teach                                                        Daddy, don't teach.  (As in, don't go away today)

Eesh yaya, eesh bubble                                          Fish is in the water, fish blows bubbles
