Who Nose?
Perhaps some child psychoanalyst out there can explain this to me. Because I am at a loss.
Me: Breakfast?
16-month-old Baby: Best?
Me: Lunch?
Baby: Lohnsh?
Me: Dinner!
Baby: Din!
Me: Breakfast?
Baby: (pause). Best?
Me: Lunch?
Baby: Nose?
Me: Dinner!
Baby: Nose!
Me: No, Dinner!
Baby: Nose!
Me: (sigh). Breakfast?
Baby: Nnnnnnoooosssseee?
Me: No. No noses. Lunch?
Baby: (points at nose) Nnnnnose?
Me: No. Nose has nothing to do with it! Dinner! Dinner!
Baby: Nose nose!
This has been going on for days. Why nose? Why why whyyyy? What could it possibly mean????
>Here is my baby’s version of it:MomCat: Do you want some breakfast?Miss Kitty: That?MomCat: Do you want the juice? Say JUICE.Miss Kitty: That?MomCat: Can you say TOAST? Toast!Miss Kitty: That.MomCat: What is the square root of 444?Miss Kitty: That?All I get is “That” and the occasionally “mah-mah-mah.” I am going insane–and that is THAT!
>Lucinda- I just came over from my site- saw your commet- I hope all is ok for you and your family-I haven’t had the news on tonite-I will check it again-You are in my thoughts-BIG TIME!Oh, nose?- sounds to me like babies momma is a good cook- and she likes the smell of your cookin!
>Steph, I have several friends with babies our ages and they’re in the exact same boat. Their babies say maybe three words top right now. My baby walked on the late side and talked on the early side. I’ve decided different babies focus on different things- noses or “that” or… whatever!Jakapk- I think all will be fine. All the schools here are closed tomorrow, but I believe it’s a whole lot of fuss over nothing. We are used to big storms and we will weather this one like the others.Thanks for your thoughts!
>do you really want me to analyze this because you know I will…
>Hi Lucinda – hope everything’s ok down there. I’m not sure exactly where you are, but if they closed schools they must have expected some weather.
>Siobhan- Yes, please analyze away. It will be good practice for when you have your baby!Mistress Mary- I think I’ll just address the storm in a quick blog entry… to follow.
>Future booger picker/eater? Let’s hope snot.
>sadly enough, baby is just going through a developmental stage where fixation takes over. would you like Frued or Piaget? she’ll get over it.
>Hmmm. I’ll take whichever one -doesn’t- predict she’ll be a future booger picker!!! 🙂 Very funny, ieatcrayonz! Gar.The strange thing is that it only comes up in connection with breakfast, lunch or dinner. Very weird.
